About PCS – Charles R. Kennon Center – Covington
You’ll find PCS – Charles R. Kennon Center in Covington, Tennessee, less than an hour northeast of Memphis. Since 1971, this behavioral health agency has provided outpatient mental health, substance use and co occurring disorder care for children, adults and families.
You can participate in personalized care and live at home while attending outpatient rehab. Their program offers assessments, interventions, and support to help you reach your recovery goals. You can access a customized treatment plan accounting for your unique needs including medication assisted treatment (MAT) with buprenorphine.
What strikes me most about them is their criminal justice liaison services. This community project bridges the gap between the criminal justice system and behavioral health services.
They work with you to identify your needs and connect you to the best care for your situation. In Tipton County this service is available for those who are incarcerated or facing criminal charges. You’ll benefit from personalized support to reach recovery and reduce your chances of re arrest.
Another great feature I noticed was their dedication to affordable care. They offer free or discounted services if you have limited or no means to afford care.
You can access a sliding scale fee based on federal poverty guidelines. They also offer financial counseling to help you understand possible solutions to get the help you need.
I also think their peer support center program is fantastic. They don’t have it in Covington, but just 20 minutes away in Ripley, you and your loved ones can access guidance and support from a certified peer recovery specialist. You’ll benefit from advocacy and recovery support services to gain the tools to enhance your journey and sustain recovery.
