Available Youth Services - Outreach, Screening Assessment and Referral (OSAR)
This program serves as an essential link between prevention, intervention and treatment services and plays an integral role in assuring that people in need of services receive access to the appropriate level and type of substance abuse services through effective coordination with service providers.
- State Incentive Grant Planning Coalition
This coalition is charged with the development and implementation of a comprehensive resource plan for substance abuse prevention in a 15-county area.
- Community Youth Development (Zip Code Project)
This project provides prevention activities for the purpose of reducing juvenile crime in the 79415 zip code.
All services are based on the individual's needs and choices, and are structured to help the person manage their illness, encouraging independent and productive lives.
In what areas are these services available?
Outreach, screening and referral services are available in a 42-county area (see coverage-area map). Other Substance Abuse services are available within a smaller coverage area within the greater 42-county area. Services are available without discrimination on the basis of race, color, national origin, sex or disability.
How are these services paid for?
Lubbock Regional MHMR Center accepts Medicare, Medicaid, CHIP and most forms of private health insurance. For persons who are not eligible for health coverage, fees are assessed on the basis of proof of the individual's (or in some cases the family's) complete income, with no one denied services due to an inability to pay. How can someone receive help or learn more about Substance Abuse Services?
