Outpatient Mental Health Care - At Mercy Health, we use a patient-centered, team approach to outpatient psychiatric care. With compassion, knowledge and respect, we assist you in fulfilling your goals toward recovery and improving your quality of life. Our outpatient behavioral therapy services include the Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP), Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP), and the outpatient clinic.
*The Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP) treats people who need intensive therapy, but who are able to sleep at home. The program is offered six hours a day, five days a week- with up to 20 therapy sessions per week.
*The Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP) is uniquely designed for people who need more therapeutic care than outpatient mental healthcare provides, but less intensive than PHP or inpatient services. The program offers individual and group therapy 10-12 hours per week. As treatment progresses, patients are referred to our outpatient clinic.
*Our outpatient clinic offers weekday appointments. Services include chemical dependence assessments, mental health assessments, individual and group psychotherapy.

Detoxification - Individuals struggling with opiates or alcohol addiction can experience extreme physical discomfort when stopping the opiate or alcohol drug.

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.
