Services are provided Monday through Friday from 8:00 am to 5:00 pm, not including State holidays. Services assist individuals to achieve self-sufficiency and recovery. Services include (some services may only be available via tele-health technology, not on-site): Case Management, Rehabilitative Mental Health (RMH) services, Peer Support services, Residential Support, Counseling, Medication Clinic, Mobile Crisis Response Team for children, Immediate Mental Health CARE Team for adults, Mental Health Court Forensic Assessment and Triage Team (FASTT), Mobile Outreach Safety Team (MOST), and Juvenile Justice Assessment and Screening Triage Team (JJASTT).

Services provided by Rural Clinics and Community Health Services will not be denied based on ability to pay, and people will be assessed for their payment responsibility based on a sliding fee scale.
