To access
services, please call:
1-888-819-5312
and you
will be referred to the Mental Health Clinic or the center for Intellectual and
Developmental Disabilities
nearest your home.
For mental
health services, a Mental Health Professional, to determine if you are eligible
for services, will ask you several important questions. If you meet
eligibility criteria, you will be scheduled for a face-to-face appointment with
a Licensed Mental Health Professional. At that appointment, you will be
given a thorough mental health assessment. Using the information gathered
in that assessment, you and the Licensed Mental Health Professional will
determine your treatment needs, goals and interventions, you will employ to help
you to attain your treatment goals.
For IDD services, you will speak with a
IDD intake worker who
will schedule an intake appointment with you, either at your home or at the
center. At the intake appointment, the Intake worker will ask you many
questions to determine your needs. Following this appointment, an
appointment will be made with a psychologist who will test the individual to
determine the individual's intellectual capacity and adaptive functioning.
If the individual is determined to meet eligibility criteria to receive IDD services, a service coordinator is assigned and the treatment
planning process is initiated.
As with
all health care services, there is usually a waiting time between the time you
call for service and the actual date you are seen. For mental health
services, which are not of a crisis nature, individuals are usually seen within
ten(10) working days of the request for service. For IDD
services the individual will be seen within thirty(30) days of request for
service.
