WestCare Tennessee - Hancock County Rural Health Network - Drug Rehab

Uplifting the human spirit is a lofty statement for any organization to promote as their objective, especially given the challenging world we live in today. Quality health and human services for individuals, families and communities in need are a priceless resource. With over three decades of experience, WestCare has the necessary expertise to be that resource to the communities we serve.

WestCare, a family of tax-exempt nonprofit organizations, provides a wide spectrum of health and human services in both residential and outpatient environments. Our services include substance abuse and addiction treatment, homeless and runaway shelters, domestic violence treatment and prevention, and mental health programs. These services are available to adults, children, adolescents, and families; we specialize in helping people traditionally considered difficult to treat, such as those who are indigent, have multiple disorders, or are involved with the criminal justice system.

Much of our growth has resulted from partnering with like-minded, community-oriented treatment programs that focus on providing the highest quality services. All of these partnerships are to the mutual benefit of the organizations involved and have enabled the partners to sustain and enhance the provision of treatment services for those who need such help. A brief historical overview shows how this strategy has further strengthened and broadened the treatment continuum WestCare provides in its many regions.

WestCare Kentucky's Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) funded Network Planning Grant is based in Tennessee. The primary goal of this program is to establish a network of health care providers, mental health providers, and law enforcement officials in an attempt to integrate mental health and substance abuse treatment with primary care. The Hancock County Rural Health Network has been created, and is actively completing a community needs assessment, an HIT readiness assessment, an economic impact analysis, and a program mapping project for the state of Tennessee and the border counties of southwest Virginia.

Although the Hancock County Rural Health Network is not currently providing mental health or substance abuse treatment services, we do provide resource lists and educational literature to any resident who asks for assistance. We hope to apply for an implementation grant in order to provide services in the future.
