The Center provides a comprehensive array of treatment services and also offers a number of specialized programs designed to prevent mental and emotional problems, or to provide ongoing support and assistance to persons with more severe forms of mental illnesses. Some of the Center's services include: Counseling Counseling is available for children and adults and may include family, marital, individual, or group therapy, depending on the type of problem. Psychological testing, psychiatric consultation, and medication can be arranged as ancillary services when needed. The Center has counseling offices located in Millersburg, Rittman, Orrville, and Wooster.
Crisis Intervention The Center's emergency response team provides crisis intervention, pre-hospital screening, and community consultation 24 hours a day. During regular business hours, crisis workers can be reached at the main office, but much emergency service is actually provided in the community at homes, hospitals, schools, and agencies. After hours, emergency staff may be contacted through social service agencies, law enforcement and medical personnel, or by calling any of the Center's regular office numbers.
Specialized Services for Children The Center provides special assistance to the families of children and adolescents with severe emotional disturbance. Special services are determined based on the individual needs of the family, but can include intensive home-based intervention, school-based therapeutic programs, specialized counseling, and case management support, including linkage to other community resources.
Psychiatric Services Psychiatric care (Medical/Somatic) is provided to Center clients, upon a referral from their primary clinician to assist in differential diagnosis and formulation of treatment recommendations as well as for the evaluation of the need for medication for symptom management. Ongoing monitoring of clients who have been prescribed medication is provided. In some cases, the Psychiatric Service program also provides medication education and assistance with the administration of self-medication.
Rehabilitation and Recovery Services A full range of specialized services are available for adults with severe mental illnesses, including residential assistance, vocational rehabilitation services, day treatment/partial hospitalization, recreational support, and training in independent living skills. Community Psychiatric Support Social Workers and Counselors provide support, assistance with symptom management, and coordination of agency and community resources. Volunteer opportunities are also available through the Compeer program which matches community volunteers in friendship with participants of the Rehabilitation and Recovery programs.
