About Weems Community Mental Health Center Leake County
The Weems Community Mental Health Center has multiple locations throughout Mississippi, including this facility in Carthage. Certified by Missouri’s Department for Mental Health (DMH), this non-profit specializes in mental and behavioral health services including addiction treatment for clients of all ages and their families.
The facility’s DMH certification ensures the center is tightly controlled and all team members abide by official standards and procedures. Safeguarding initiatives are also in place to make sure all programs operate in an ethical, moral, legal and professional manner.
Individuals can access a variety of outpatient services and programs here including mental health counseling for kids, teens, adults and seniors. This is available as individual, group, couples or family sessions. Nursing and psychiatric services are also available as well as specialized addiction treatment, work assistance, and DUI programs.
Intensive outpatient programs (IOP) are available to both young people and adults as a structured 10 week program. The schedule typically consists of around three group meetings per week as well as individual counseling sessions and family involvement where applicable. For adults, group meetings tend to take place around standard work hours, allowing participants to keep to their regular work or study schedule should they choose. Many clients appreciate the flexibility of IOP for this reason.
For individuals whose substance use has seen them brush with the law there’s a state-approved DUI program available. This is helpful for those who have lost their license and require court-mandated treatment services to regain it.
Individuals can also access a wide variety of recovery support services before, during or after their program. These include support finding stable employment, help building a recovery support network, weekly support groups and sessions teaching relapse prevention skills.
