Southwestern Behavioral Healthcare, located at 415 Mulberry St., Evansville, IN 47713, has been serving the mental health and substance use needs of Southwestern Indiana since 1971. With 15 locations across Gibson, Posey, Warrick, and Vanderburgh counties, the organization is dedicated to providing compassionate care to over 9,100 clients annually. Their mission is to partner with individuals and families to improve wellness through a community-focused approach.
The facility offers a range of residential programs designed to support individuals on their path to recovery. The Stepping Stone Residential program provides a high-intensity, structured environment with separate units for men and women, offering services such as group, individual, and family therapy, case management, skills training, and peer recovery support. For women seeking a transitional setting, the Stepping Forward program offers a low-intensity residential experience, emphasizing a three-phase approach to foster independent living. Priority admission is given to pregnant women, allowing them to stay during and after pregnancy, with the goal of transitioning to community living.
In addition to residential care, Southwestern Behavioral Healthcare provides outpatient services, including the Matrix program, which focuses on developing early recovery and relapse prevention skills through structured group sessions. The organization also emphasizes family involvement, offering educational programs and support groups to help loved ones understand and engage in the recovery process.
Crisis intervention is a critical component of their services. A 24/7 crisis line is available for immediate assistance, and the Crisis Stabilization Unit in downtown Evansville offers on-site support for those experiencing mental health emergencies. The Mobile Crisis Unit extends this support by providing on-site assistance and referrals as needed.
Southwestern Behavioral Healthcare’s comprehensive approach, combining evidence-based treatments with community support, reflects their commitment to empowering individuals toward healthier, more fulfilling lives.
