Welcome to Lookout Mountain Community Services

Tom Ford - Executive Director's Welcome

As Executive Director of Lookout Mountain Community Services (LMCS), I welcome you to our web site. LMCS has been providing mental health, substance abuse, mental retardation or developmental disabilities services to individuals since 1965. LMCS provides services to the four most northwest counties of Georgia: Catoosa, Chattooga, Dade, and Walker. We provide these services regardless of one’s ability to pay by using an adjusted fee scale based on one’s income. While everyone is expected to pay something for services rendered, we are able to serve those individuals who do not have insurance or the funds to pay full fee.

LMCS serves adults, children, and adolescents with a wide range of problems. Not only do we have traditional services such as psychiatric evaluations, medication monitoring, individual and group therapy, we also offer community-based services in homes, in schools and at the work site to facilitate improved functioning in those settings. In addition, the agency operates an extensive transportation program which transports consumers to our various programs.

Our many programs are described in detail on the web site. If you or a member of your family desire to find out more about us, don’t hesitate to call our Access Center at (706) 639-2081 or (800) 882-1552.
