SCCMH Access Center: (888) 225-4447
To begin receiving services through SCCMH, you must call the Access Center.  During your call, a telephone screener will ask for some basic information about you, where you live, and the problem you are having.  You will not be refused services based on financial circumstance, and all calls are confidential.  If the situation is an emergency, you will be directed to immediate help.

If the situation is not an emergency, but is one that SCCMH can help address, the screener will set up a face-to-face interview at the appropriate service site, usually within two weeks of your call.  If SCCMH cannot help in your situation, we will help you locate other community resources.

At your first appointment, a clinician will gather more detailed information about the nature of the problem.  He or she will work with you to determine the best ways for the SCCMH system to help you meet your needs.  Your services will be planned with you using the person-centered planning model, based on Thumb Alliance clinical protocols, Department of Community Health and Medicaid guidelines, and your preferences.

If you have Medicaid, ABW, or MI Child coverage, your benefit will cover the cost of your authorized treatment.  If you have other insurance, your carrier will be billed for our services.  If you have limited insurance, or none, your fees will be set on sliding scale.  You may be billed for co-payments, deductibles, etc., up to your determined ability to pay level.  If you do not have insurance, we may also help you apply for Medicaid, ABW, or MI Child.

To Get Emergency Services
A situation is considered a mental health emergency when an individual is at direct and immediate risk of seriously harming her/himself or someone else.  If a person’s symptoms of mental illness are active and she/he is unable to care for her/himself; or is unable to understand the need for treatment and these conditions can be reasonably expected to result in harm, the individual may be experiencing a mental health emergency.  For emergency situations, and when calling after regular business hours, contact:

SCCMH Crisis Line Toll Free (888) 225-4447
