About Shawnee Mental Health Center – Portsmouth
Shawnee Mental Health Center's location at 901 Washington Street is a behavioral health center offering addiction treatment services and integrated care for adults in Portsmouth, Ohio.
Serving the Scioto County community since 1973, this outpatient facility provides substance use treatment alongside psychiatric and primary care services, with specialized support for clients facing dual diagnosis and co-occurring mental health challenges. The center's approach combines evidence based counseling, psychiatric care and 24/7 crisis response to support long term recovery and wellness.
Addiction Treatment Programs
Adults age 18 and older can begin with a comprehensive assessment to identify individual needs and determine the appropriate level of outpatient care. From there, clients receive individual counseling, psychiatric services for medication management and support for co-occurring mental health and substance use disorders in an integrated setting.
The center uses cognitive behavioral therapy and other evidence based approaches to address addiction, relapse prevention and underlying mental health concerns. I want to point out that community based services and crisis stabilization are available around the clock, ensuring continuity of care whether clients need routine outpatient support, urgent psychiatric intervention or coordination with local hospitals or crisis units.
