About Taylor County Human Services Department

Taylor County Human Services offers a set of supports for residents that encourage safety, well-being, independence and self sufficiency. This is a public agency and department that runs under a Human Services Board. It’s overseen by several State departments. This department is centralized in Medford, Wisconsin. Funding for these services are granted from the federal, state and county budgets. Some services have fees for which clients are responsible.

Clinical Services for Taylor County Residents

I’m impressed by the breadth of services they offer. All of their programs and services fall under one of six units. One of these is clinical services. This is an umbrella for mental health and substance abuse services. I like that all these are grouped together because clients don’t have to worry about which type of support they need. You can contact an intake worker by phone or in person and they will refer you to the appropriate services.

The Taylor County Human Service Department also runs a crisis line that you can call or text. There’s also a child abuse/neglect hotline.

Affordable Care in Medford, WI

Every Taylor County resident is eligible for all the services offered by this department. I appreciate that they won’t turn anyone away because they can’t pay. They offer a discounted sliding fee schedule for qualifying clients. They can also bill chargeable services to your insurance company if you have coverage.

Best of all, their case management and many of their support services are provided for free. I find this rare as most agencies that offer substance use treatment build case management and other support into their costs.
