North Central Mental Health Services,

North Central Mental Health Services, Inc. is a comprehensive, community-based mental health and substance abuse treatment and recovery agency serving Franklin County Ohio. We provide short-term outpatient and intensive treatment services to all age groups from children, adolescents, adults, older adults and families. Caring, trained professionals help persons served deal with life problems and pressures in positive, constructive ways. Outpatient services help consumers deal with situational problems. Some clients, however, struggle with long term, intense mental disabilities. North Central's Recovery Support Services program provides the support, treatment and encouragement needed to help consumers move toward recovery and independence. The goal of this department is to help each person served reach the highest level of performance possible, up to and including employment. The center's medical staff and residential programs assist people in reaching this goal. In addition to its direct treatment programs, North Central emphasizes the importance of education and prevention services, including Suicide Prevention for schools, civic organizations, faith-based institutions and businesses. North Central operates the largest 988 call center in Ohio.
