About Journey Mental Health Center Inc East Mendota Street
In Madison, Wisconsin, the Journey Mental Health Center on East Mendota Street serves adults with outpatient addiction treatment. They also provide mental health services for adults and youth.
They also offer crisis services such as a 24/7 crisis hotline and crisis stabilization. They also partner with other organizations to field response teams that can meet you where you are and help manage the situation and provide solutions.
Unique Culturally Specific Care in Madison
Their culturally focused services really caught my attention. They have specific culturally appropriate services for Latinos where services are provided in Spanish, and another program that serves people of color.
Having services that match your community and core beliefs can be a very significant factor in long term recovery. You’re much more likely to get on board with treatment that makes sense to you and is available in your language, and the cultural focus allows it to be seamlessly integrated into your life. These programs can also help you connect to others who share your customs and beliefs, which helps build healthy relationships that support recovery.
I think it’s cool that Madison also has some local attractions to help you unwind and stretch your legs between sessions. There are a couple of local gyms close by and Sycamore Park isn’t too far away.
Legal Diversion Programs For Those in the Justice System
Substance use often results in legal charges, either from possession of illegal substances or from OWI charges. Journey has a variety of programs for the justice involved.
They offer assessments for those in Dane County, and if you live outside of Dane County they can connect you to the proper assessment program in your area. You can complete an online form or call to make an appointment. You’ll spend up to 45 minutes giving information about your substance use and habits.
There are also legal diversion programs for OWI Treatment Court. These include assessments, treatment, and ongoing monitoring. This allows you to fulfill court requirements and get back on your feet. The education and treatment also lower the chance of re offense so you can avoid future concerns.
