Charleston Dorchester Mental Health Center offers a vast array of case management, treatment, and community support services from a skilled team of professionals. Our teams work tirelessly to help make our patients successful in the community.
Regional Treatment/Case Management Teams
The majority of our patients in Charleston and Dorchester are served by our Regional Treatment teams. Both of our clinics have large, diverse treatment teams providing a variety of services and therapies to our patients. These teams provide assessment, crisis intervention, individual, family, and group therapy, skills building, and case management services to adults and children. Doctors and nurses are also attached to these teams to provide guidance and support the needs of our patients.
What is Care Coordination?
A partnership with the patient to identify and secure access for identified needed resources or services in the community. Services can be professional (e.g., medical, dental, etc.) or non-professional (e.g., food, housing, etc.).
Care Coordination resources/services would likely address:
- Physical health
- Mental health (specialized treatment not provided by CDMHC)
- Social Needs
- Educational Needs
- Vocational Needs
Our Care Coordinators will assess case management needs for patients, look for community resources and link patients to those resources and monitor success in getting needs met. Case management services are an adjunct service and are not therapeutic treatment services.
