Calumet County Department of Health and Human Services

The Calumet County Department of Health and Human Services offers behavioral health services for people living in the Chilton, Wisconsin community and surrounding area. Chilton is known for its strong agricultural roots, outdoor recreation and historical landmarks. It’s home to a thriving dairy and cheese industry and the Holiday Parade of Lights held on the first weekend of December featuring illuminated floats and festival displays.

The behavioral health unit serves residents who have mental health needs or drug or alcohol addiction. They offer services to people of nearly all ages including those with multiple mental health issues or diagnoses.

The department has licensed therapists and mental health professionals who can offer you crisis intervention 24 hours a day. They also provide alcohol and other drug abuse assessments and referrals to community resources and treatment programs. These services also include doing assessments for residents in the county who were convicted of operating a vehicle while intoxicated.

They have a psychosocial rehabilitation program here that highlights your level of functioning and provides you with the least restrictive professional services. Your treatment program is individualized and based on your current needs and the goals you identify working with your therapist.

You can receive individual and family psychotherapy, medication management and monitoring, and psychiatric diagnostic evaluation. Your program may also include individual skill development, employment related skills training and other recovery services to address your substance abuse treatment.

The Community Support Program provides comprehensive treatment and case management if you’ve been diagnosed with a severe and persistent mental illness with the goal of minimizing hospital time. They focus on identifying and using your strengths to promote and improve your quality of life.

Treatment can include case management, medication management and life skills training. To be eligible for the programs, you must want to be involved and need psychosocial rehabilitation services as determined by a screening and comprehensive assessment.

They work with most private insurance providers in the area or those on Wisconsin Medicaid or other medical assistance programs. They also offer self-pay options on a sliding scale.
