About HINDS Behavioral Health Services – Jackson
HINDS Behavioral Health Services is located in Jackson, Mississippi. This is a counseling and rehabilitation facility that serves adults and adolescents. They offer an array of services that will help you navigate your behavioral health and substance use struggles. Care is offered in an outpatient setting, with an intensive outpatient substance use program (IOP).
They have a multidisciplinary team who will work with you if you have a dual diagnosis condition. This team may include physicians, psychiatrists, mental health and addiction counselors, and others.
You’ll undergo an initial comprehensive mental health and substance use assessment and an individualized treatment plan will be created for you. If you have an alcohol or opioid use struggle, medication assisted treatment (MAT) may be used to help you manage ongoing cravings. Medication management is also available for your dual diagnosis.
You’ll move into counseling services with experienced addiction therapists. With cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) provided in an individual and group setting, you’ll learn how to manage stressful emotions. They’ll teach you how to identify triggers that have contributed to your substance use. Relapse prevention is also available to help increase your chances of sustainable sobriety.
There’s also access to community support services such as 12 Step programs like Alcoholics Anonymous and Narcotics Anonymous. Your care team can refer you to more robust services like inpatient care if needed.
There are ongoing assessments and screenings, and you’ll also have access to medical supports like HIV screenings. I appreciate that this location offers culturally sensitive care. For example, their Minority AIDS Initiative supports minorities who are at risk of AIDS/HIV.
