About Mercer County Behavioral Health Commission

Located on Sharon-Mercer Road in a quiet and peaceful environment is the Mercer County Behavioral Health Commision in Mercer, Pennsylvania. The city of Mercer is known for its small town feel, Dutch influenced foods and close-knit community.

MCBHC offers many 24/7 programs like crisis intervention and emergency services. In some cases the county will fund these programs for eligible patients if you do not have Medicaid or private insurance.

Specialized Programs for All Ages

With programs to help all individuals in the community, MCBHC offers youth programs, adult therapy and education on prevention. I really like that they run outreach programs to reduce the stigma on substance abuse or mental health.

One of the more unique programs I noticed that they have here is early intervention. The early intervention program helps families identify developmental delays with children under 5 and connect them with great resources so they can start helping kids at an earlier age.

Substance Use Disorder

This facility offers different programs focused on substance abuse and mental health. They have a program that assigns you a recovery specialist who can help guide you through treatment and recovery. They also have care coordination so they can help you understand the best addiction treatment programs for you, connect you to local treatment centers, and follow your progress.

If you'd prefer to speak to someone first, they also offer telehealth services making it a little easier to receive care from your home. If you need more intensive care the clinic may refer you to residential treatment facilities to maintain recovery when going back to your community.
