About Region 8 Mental Health Services Copiah County
Region 8 Mental Health Services in Hazlehurst, Mississippi, offers various behavioral health services including substance use treatment in a residential and outpatient setting. They specialize in providing culturally sensitive care to all clients regardless of race, age, sex, sexual orientation or religious beliefs.
In the residential care program, clients receive a personalized care plan that addresses the physical, emotional, social, and spiritual impacts of their substance use. Using evidence-based practices, including cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), clients discover the underlying causes of their substance use and work to change their behaviors through a program of individual and group counseling.
Additional services in the residential program include psychoeducation classes, family therapy, recreation and social activities, structured physical activities, and vocational rehabilitation groups.
The intensive outpatient program for substance use disorder has three key phases. The first phase focuses on education and teaches clients about the harmful effects of substance use on all aspects of their lives. Clients commit to a life free of substances and start developing coping skills for stressors and triggers.
In the second phase clients focus on strategies for relapse prevention to increase their chances of maintaining long-term recovery. In the third and final phase clients receive aftercare services for up to two years. The great thing about the outpatient program is that sessions are held in the evening so they don’t clash with work commitments.
