About CDC Mental Health Services – Hamilton
Central Clinic – CDC Mental Health Services is a community behavioral health center with a location in Hamilton, Ohio that helps with drug and alcohol addiction as well as mental health needs. This makes them well prepared to help people with dual diagnosis, which means you have an addiction as well as a mental health condition.
Your care at this clinic will start with a behavioral health assessment to learn more about your addiction and how to best help you in your recovery. They have outpatient care and even an intensive outpatient program if you need a more rigorous treatment schedule. Your assessment will help you and your team determine what level of treatment is best for you.
Once you’ve had your assessment, there are several different treatment strategies they can offer. They primarily use individual counseling and group counseling for addiction. Depending on your case you might have the option of medication assisted treatment too. This means they use medications to reduce your cravings. Peer mentorship may be a part of your program too. Along the way, their case managers can work with you to help you with other needs for your sober life like housing and employment resources.
A particularly unique program they have at this treatment center is called SAMI. This program is for adults and adolescents who have addiction or mental health needs and are involved with Butler County Children’s Services. They work closely with children’s services to help families recover from addiction and bring families back together.
It’s worth noting, though, that clients do have a lot of complaints about the administration of this clinic. They report that there are often long waits for appointments and communication breakdowns.
