Since our service area is primarily
rural, special accommodations are made for provision of services
outside of the traditional office. All services are strictly
confidential.
Our professional staff are an integral
part of the community and regularly consult with other community
members also involved in the welfare of individuals served,
including Department of Human Services staff, school staff,
ministers, family members, probation officer, States Attorney,
lawyers, police department, etc....
When psychotropic medication
evaluation/prescription services are needed, individuals who are
receiving other behavioral health services are referred by their
direct service providers to our contractual psychiatrist at the
Wabash County Medical Center. Direct service providers routinely
consult with the psychiatrist regarding patient's care and progress
to maintain continuity of care.
Program provides recovery and
resiliency focused services to individuals aged 18 and over.
Services consist of therapy/counseling (individual, family, or
group), case management, community support, medication
prescription monitoring/training and consultation. Services may
be provided in the office, or in the individual's natural
setting (home and/or in the community).
Program deals with unique needs of this population.
Involvement in all aspects of treatment by parents is of extreme
importance.
Emergency Crisis Assessment /Referral
Services are provided on a seven day per week, twenty-four hour
basis to assess the need for inpatient hospitalization in cases
where mental illness is resulting in imminent harm to
individuals or others.
If psychiatric hospitalization is deemed
necessary, attempts are made to secure admission at local
psychiatric units or psychiatric state hospital.
Assessment is provided on a face-to-face
basis. After hours services are provided only in the local
emergency room.
Crisis assessment ensures the
appropriateness of admission for psychiatric hospitalization by
examining and exhausting all other less restrictive alternatives
available to meet the individual's needs.
During work hours, crisis services are
provided by designated staff. After regular work hours, individuals
needed emergency crisis services should go to local emergency room.
For assistance in getting there, local law enforcement may be called
as well at the following numbers: 262-4186 or 262-4114.
