<p><strong>ABOUT NORTH CENTRAL MENTAL HEALTH SERVICES</strong></p> <p>Founded in 1973, North Central Mental Health Services of Columbus, Ohio is an <strong>established community-based agency dedicated to the recovery and treatment</strong> of individuals struggling with moderate to severe mental health disorders, as well as co-occurring substance abuse disorders. Today, North Central provides <strong>residential, outpatient, and <a href="https://www.recovery.org/topics/extended-recovery-programs/" target="_blank">aftercare</a> services</strong> for seniors and adults, as well as their families. </p> <p>North Central also provides medication and monitoring, as well as <strong>education and suicide prevention services</strong>, for local schools, businesses, and organizations. In addition, the treatment provider offers specialized services for youth and young adults .</p> <p><strong>TREATMENT & ASSESSMENT</strong></p> <p>North Central provides a range of services for clients focusing on recovery and preparing for a healthier lifestyle outside of the facility. It is one of <a href="https://wwwdasis.samhsa.gov/webt/state_data/OH16.pdf" target="_blank">Ohio’s 40 facilities</a> that provide specialized care to seniors. </p> <p>Adults aged 60 and older experiencing mental health problems caused by aging or changes in their health may be seen for family and private counseling. In cases, a team of psychiatrists, case managers, and counselors are available for <strong>in-home mental health counseling</strong>. Case management is an essential part of the treatment process and more than <a href="https://www.samhsa.gov/data/sites/default/files/2016_NSSATS.pdf" target="_blank">82% of U.S. facilities</a> use it to manage clients’ treatments.</p> <p>North Central’s <strong>Recovery Support Services</strong>, perhaps the agency’s largest service area, is designed for a wide audience of adults between the ages of 18 and 60. In many cases, clients are housed in the Next Generation Homes used for the residential program. These homes give them the support needed for continued recovery while giving them a stable place to live. Clients are attended to by medical and care personnel around-the-clock. </p> <p>Under the Recovery Support Services division are <strong>four care options ranging in level of intensity and targeted audience</strong>. There is recovery assistance for individuals who require medication and less-intensive, ongoing therapy after completing primary treatment, as well as <strong>team-based recovery services</strong> for persons with a need for individualized care. The latter, more intensive option also addresses co-occurring disorders.</p> <p>The third component to the Recovery Support Services division is North Central’s <strong>Transitional Teams</strong>. Here, person and family-centered teams help youth and young adults, aged 14 to 22, work towards their educational and employment goals while simultaneously providing relief for their mental health disorders. North Central is one of <a href="https://wwwdasis.samhsa.gov/webt/state_data/OH16.pdf" target="_blank">84 facilities in the state</a> to provide services for young adults. Teens and young adults receive a range of supports like <strong>referrals to vocational and educational programs, assistance in locating housing, training in everyday living skills</strong>, and links to other needed resources.</p> <p><strong>STAFF CREDENTIALS</strong></p> <p>According to its website, North Central Mental Health Services' staff members work within a “person and family-centered model for recovery.” Psychiatrists, case managers, counselors, and other qualified behavioral health professionals work across the agency’s many programs and services.</p> <p><strong>ACCOMMODATIONS & AMENITIES</strong></p> <p>In total, the agency operates five “Next Generation” homes (permanent, four-bedroom homes), an 11-bed facility for adult men and women with severe mental disorders, and “extramural” homes for adults unable to live independently. All residential facilities are <strong>staffed 24 hours a day</strong>. The facilities create a home-like environment that provides the necessities of care including meals and other living services. Medical and counseling personnel are available at all times. </p> <p><strong>WHAT ALUMNI SAY</strong></p> <p>Although Rehabs.com has yet to receive alumni feedback to date, secondary sources revealed on positive review.
