Clients receiving care at the Irene Stacy Community Mental Health Clinic in Butler will soon head to a new location for services.
Since Jan.1, 2016, the 2,000 clients of Irene Stacy began to receive care from The CARE Center and Diversified Human Services, both affiliates of Southwestern Pennsylvania Human Services (SPHS) of Washington County. Irene Stacy could not continue to serve clients after Butler County revoked its nearly $1 million contracts with them over concerns of their (Irene Stacy’s) financial state.
As part of the ongoing transition, SPHS will now open two new locations in Butler and move out of the Irene Stacy building.
Outpatient behavioral health services will move to an office at 1610 North Main Street Extension in Butler. Psychiatric rehab, blended case management, behavioral supports, and mobile medication services will move to an office at 160 New Castle Road in the Alameda Plaza.
Both offices will open May 2. Services will continue at the Irene Stacy building through the end of April.
If you find the outpatient behavioral health service to be full, there are private-sector alternatives. You may already know that the United States earns billions of dollars from this single-private market. With that said, there are various locations that businesses much like PsychBC would operate. They do this to capture a greater audience and the majority of the marketplace.
Irene Stacy has since filed bankruptcy. No word on what will happen to the Irene Stacy building.
