New Tri-County Behavioral Health Center Opens in Conroe!

Conroe has just welcomed a brand new facility that promises to make a significant difference in the community. The newly opened Tri-County Behavioral Health Center is a state-of-the-art establishment dedicated to better serving individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities, mental illnesses, and substance use disorders. This impressive center boasts a whopping 90,000 square feet of space, spread across 8 acres located at 233 Sgt. Ed Holcomb.

This $15.5 million facility is a game-changer. Gone are the days when staff and services were scattered across various smaller buildings. The new center consolidates everything under one roof, which means improved communication and efficiency in services. By uniting under one umbrella, the center aims to maximize clinical services and better address the ever-growing needs of the community. In fact, the previous facilities were deemed inadequate for the rising demand.

What’s Being Offered?

So, what can the community expect from this shiny new center? The Tri-County Behavioral Health Center is set to take in approximately 2,500 adult clients, around 600 children and youth, and roughly 1,200 clients with intellectual and developmental disabilities every year. The range of services on offer is extensive:

  • Adult outpatient mental health services
  • Adult intensive outpatient substance abuse program
  • Co-occurring psychiatric substance abuse program
  • Child and youth outpatient mental health services for ages 3-17
  • Substance abuse treatment for teens aged 3-17
  • Substance abuse prevention programs in local schools and community sites

As part of its mission, the center also fulfills the role of the Local Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities Authority, offering necessary IDD provider services to families in need.

A Design Focused on Convenience and Comfort

In addition to the various services, the facility has been thoughtfully designed to include a centralized financial assessment area, making it easier for clients to navigate the administrative side of care. It even houses a full-service pharmacy for added convenience. Families will particularly appreciate the inclusion of a separate waiting area for children and youth, as well as expanded training spaces and community meeting rooms. Special areas for substance abuse group sessions have been incorporated, recognizing the importance of a supportive environment for recovery.

Building Toward the Future

Expectations for the center are high, and it has been specifically designed to cater to the varied needs of the community—from families with children facing complex disorders to veterans working hard on their recovery journeys. Those involved in the planning and development of the center have expressed excitement about what it will bring to the area, likening its growth to that of a child going off to college after being nurtured throughout the years.

Funding and Financial Outlook

To make this all possible, the center has secured funding through a 20-year loan from First Financial Bank. Notably, plans are in place to pay off this debt by selling off older buildings while ensuring that client services remain unaffected. Currently, the center is designed to accommodate around 230 staff members, enabling a robust support system for clients.

Community Response

In conclusion, the opening of the Tri-County Behavioral Health Center is a landmark event for Conroe, promising better access to mental health care and developmental services. As this new facility gets underway, it symbolizes a brighter future for many families in the region.
