Community Mental Health Centers
A Community Mental Health Center (CMHC) or “clinic” is a publicly funded or partially publicly funded, not-for-profit center that contracts with Thriving Mind to provide inpatient, outpatient, psychiatric evaluation, medication management, pharmacy, group and individual therapy services and case management, among other services. Individuals without insurance, are able to receive these services based on their ability to pay. These centers often also offer substance use disorder treatment. In addition to CMHC, Thriving Mind contracts with agencies that primarily deliver treatment and interventions specific to substance use disorders.
