About HINDS Behavioral Health Services – The Cedars – Jackson
Since 1971, Hinds Behavioral Health Services has been helping kids to seniors with everything from mental health to substance use issues. The Cedars is located in a quiet corner of Jackson, Mississippi, and is part of their mission. They provide psychosocial rehab for seniors 50 and older who have developmental challenges.
It’s a place where older folks can improve their social skills, learn daily living skills, and connect with their peers. But Hinds doesn’t stop there. They have other locations where adults can get mental healthcare, including addiction treatment.
If keeping up with appointments feels like a challenge, the Program of Assertive Community Treatment (PACT) brings care right to you. This includes snacks and meals. It’s a flexible, community program that helps adults with dual diagnoses get personalized treatment.
The PACT team meets with you at least three times a week. They can join you either at your home or somewhere else in the community.
If getting to an office feels impossible, the Intensive Community Outreach and Recovery Team has your back. If you’re an adult living in rural Hinds County, this team brings mental health and addiction treatment straight to your door or meets you virtually.
You get therapy, help with managing medications, and learn life skills like budgeting and self-care. They’re even on call 24/7 for emergencies. They meet you where you are to help you move forward.
Their medication assisted treatment (MAT) blends medication with counseling and therapy to treat opioid and substance use disorders. Medications like naltrexone or buprenorphine help reduce withdrawal symptoms and cravings. Counseling and peer support help you stick with your recovery program.
It’s also neat that Jackson has some neat local attractions to supplement your recovery. Manhattan Park is just down the street, and Hanging Moss Creek isn’t too far away if you want to stretch your legs.
