Behavioral Health Integrated Behavioral Health is a team approach to helping all of our patients achieve wellness in both body and mind. When a patient comes in for medical care, our medical and behavioral health staff works together to address all of the patient's concerns, both problems of the body and any problems that affect daily living.
In this model of care where the focus is on solving problems, behavioral health visits are brief (usually 15-30 minutes), limited in number (usually 1-6 visits), and are conveniently provided in the patient exam room.
The behavioral health providers are Licensed Independent Social Workers (LISW) or Licensed Professional Clinical Counselors (LPCC) and Doctorates in Behavioral Health (DBH).
Substance Abuse Treatment All Health Partners locations are committed to helping our patients who are at risk for developing substance use disorders as well as those who have a diagnosis of substance abuse or dependency. The model of care we implement is a comprehensive, evidence-based, public health approach to the delivery of early intervention and treatment services. This model of care is referred to as "SBIRT," and stands for Screening, Brief Intervention and Referral to Treatment. This approach is used to identify, reduce, and prevent problematic use, abuse, and dependence on alcohol, illicit drugs, or misuse of prescription medication.
Medication-Assisted Treatment The Medication-Assisted Treatment (MAT) program is focused on providing comprehensive care to patients who have an opioid addiction to narcotic prescription painkillers or illegal substances such as heroin. Medication-Assisted Treatment (MAT) is the use of medications, in combination with counseling, behavioral therapies and social support, to provide a whole-patient approach to the treatment of substance use disorders.
Fees and Payment
All services at Health Partners have a fee associated with them. However, we offer a minimum charge of $5.00 for behavioral health services based on one's eligibility using Federal Poverty Guidelines and our sliding fee scale. In addition, the behavioral health providers are covered on almost all Commercial Insurance plans, as well as Medicaid and Medicare.

Qualifying for assistance from Ohio's program usually depends on the severity of your condition and financial circumstance. Read our full guide to Ohio's program.
A community counseling agency is a group therapy practice that offers affordable mental health services. Most are independent non-profit agencies, state agencies, or publicly-funded agencies. A few may restrict who is eligible for services, so it is a good idea to check when you call.
Community counseling agencies are generally more affordable than other therapy providers, but how much more affordable they are will depend on whether you qualify for a discount or sliding scale fee (or if they accept your insurance). Many, but not all, have a policy that they won't turn away anyone due to inability to pay. You should ask about their fees when you first call.
Expect to talk to kind people who want to help you find the care you need. Most community agencies strive to connect you with a live person within 24 hours, if not immediately. If you're asked to hold or leave a message, don't give up; just leave a message and wait. You should hear back pretty quickly.
Most agencies try to set up an initial assessment appointment within a week (some do within 24 hours), though the waitlist to start therapy is usually longer—about a few weeks on average. If you're not eligible or if the agency is not right for you, it's usually still worth it to call or drop in, because staff are knowledgeable about local options and can often refer you to one.
