At the WORTH Center, we believe that every justice-involved person deserves high-quality mental health care. We have a team of licensed mental health professionals who serve 75% of our residents in both individual and group counseling settings. In addition, in the past 5 years, our facility has trained 5 counselors in training who have continued to serve in mental health roles across the state.
Our clinical team believes that the best way to serve our justice-involved population is to address the underlying mental health and trauma-specific behaviors that caused them to become involved with the criminal justice system. Our team plans to address those behaviors using several evidence-based groups and techniques.
Our counselors provide the following services:

CLINICAL
We offer counseling services led and coordinated by our Clinical Services director. Residents have the opportunity to receive mental health counseling to supplement with their treatment. Drug and alcohol assessments are completed by the clinical services staff for residents returning to the counties of Hancock, Allen, Shelby, Auglaize, and Hardin.
Once residents are discharged from the program they are given a follow-up appointment with a counseling service near them to continue treatment.
Medical
Routine medical and dental care are provided by the WORTH Center Medical Department. If medical and dental care beyond the scope of services provided by the WORTH Center is needed, arrangements may be made to visit an outside care provider at residents own cost.
If residents are prescribed medication by the medical department, prescriptions will be filled by the contracted pharmacy at a nominal fee. Medication call times are twice daily.
