Mental Health & Addiction Services Needs Assessment Report

Abstract

The Center for Health Policy (CHP) conducted a mental health and addiction services needs assessment for North Central Health Services (NCHS) in Benton, Carroll, Clinton, Fountain, Montgomery, Tippecanoe, Warren, and White counties. For this purpose, an epidemiologic profile on mental illness and substance abuse was completed, existing resources (facilities, providers, programs, and services) were reviewed, capacity was assessed, and service gaps were identified. Based on the assessment, the CHP proposes data-driven funding recommendations to meet the treatment needs of the communities.
