Assessment and Referral Services


 

 

    Southern Hills Counseling Center responds to every request for service which could mean scheduling an appointment at Southern Hills or referring that individual to another service agency. A trained mental health professional will meet with each potential consumer upon admission and evaluate their service needs. Following that evaluation, the individual will be referred to the applicable Southern Hills program or an agency outside of Southern Hills which is more able to meet their needs.

Assessments are routinely scheduled during the regular office hours of each county office. Emergency after-hours and weekend assessments are available 24 hours a day by calling the Southern Hills emergency line at 1-800-883-4020 or 812-482-4020. All services are provided by trained personnel approved by Southern Hills to provide assessments and triage, and evaluative interviews and mental status determinations for children, adolescents, adults, older adults, and substance abusers.
