Integrated Services for Behavioral Health

The substance use and behavioral health services, among others that they provide, are designed to be carefully blend with primary healthcare to operate in a more holistic way.

Integrated Services provides a variety of services including:

  • In-home services
  • Active Kinship Navigator program
  • Substance use treatment
  • Behavioral health services

The Kinship Navigator program is for current and potential kin caregivers to access and understand information about their legal rights. This program also:

  • Facilitates access to community resources
  • Explores possible financial assistance for non-parents
  • Provides social support and connections among caregivers

This intervention will collaborate with Integrated Services to expand their Kinship Navigator Program by providing training modules about interacting with a family member who uses substances and providing information on opioid overdoses for kinship caregivers.

Integrated Services is certified by the Ohio Department of Mental Health and Addiction Services (OhioMHAS). They are also accredited by The Commission on Accreditation of Rehabilitation Facilities (CARF).
