Specialized Adult Mental Health Services

Case Management Services - Case Management is a community-based treatment modality which provides treatment, rehabilitation, advocacy, and support services to consumers with severe and persistent mental illness. Case managers are available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, to help consumers establish natural-based community support networks. These include safe and affordable housing, part- and full-time employment, opportunities for social interaction, as well as educational programs on various aspects of mental illness and medication.

Based on a philosophy of consumer empowerment, the directive of this program is to help individuals progress toward independent, responsible, and self-directed lives.

The program operates five days a week, and offers training and supports in the five environments essential to recovery- living, learning, working, and social. The agency employs a Certified Peer Specialist who serves as the Program Leader.

Intensive Residential Services - LMCS offers this level of care at its Horizons facility, located in Catoosa County. Horizons is a 14 bed facility for male and female adults who are in need of skills training and/or supports to assist them in living independently in the community. Horizons is staffed with24 hour awake staff, and consumers are admitted to the facility on a voluntary basis.
