About Kenosha Human Development Services – Kenosha
Kenosha Human Development Services (KHDS) is a nonprofit organization that provides a range of mental health, primary care, and social services to members of the community in Kenosha, Wisconsin. The organization has been in operation for over 50 years and also works with local and state government agencies to create a safety net for vulnerable populations in the region.
For people facing immediate harm such as from mental illness or even substance use disorder (SUD), KHDS’ crisis intervention team is there to provide support. This includes mobile outreach for in person care as well as round the clock access over the phone. This team also works to help diffuse situations when law enforcement is called.
Originally managed as two separate divisions for both juvenile and adult crisis support, the two categories were merged in 2017. More importantly, if you call the crisis intervention hotline, it’s always manned by a live person.
Another nice feature with KHDS is that the organization provides comprehensive support to help you get back on your feet after achieving sobriety. This can include crisis case management which often works with the courts to rehabilitate people and help them achieve healthy independence. Factors such as learning independent living skills, receiving mentorship, or even help accessing education, housing, and employment resources are all included in this.
If underlying mental health issues may have contributed to your addiction, having support to manage one of the main root causes of SUD is important. KHDS also offers medication monitoring to ensure that people who need it have access to important medications that can stabilize their condition and prevent potential relapse.
KHDS accepts most insurance plans as well as Medicare, Medicaid, and even Badgercare.
