Mental Health Practice – Singing River Services
Singing River Services is a community mental health agency established in 1972 and headquartered at 57 Industrial Park Rd., Lucedale, Mississippi. The organization has served George and Jackson counties in Mississippi for more than 50 years, providing a wide range of behavioral health, addiction, children’s, and developmental disability services across the region.
Services are organized into four divisions. Adult Services encompass individual, family, and group therapy; community service support; psychiatric services; and crisis intervention for adults managing serious mental health conditions. Addiction Services include intensive outpatient programs, inpatient treatment through the Stevens Center, and recovery support services for those with substance use concerns. Children’s Services provide juvenile outreach, day treatment, and psychiatric services for younger clients. An ID/IDD division covers employment services, day programs, and pre-vocational services for individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities.
Treatment and support modalities described on the site include individual, family, and group therapies; psychosocial rehabilitation; and targeted case management. The organization also provides court-ordered evaluations and an employee assistance program for employers in the region. A Mobile Crisis Unit operates in the community for outreach during acute situations. A 24-hour crisis line at 601-495-3010 is staffed 365 days a year, and the main office is open Monday through Friday, 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM.
Populations served include adults, children, individuals with serious mental illness, those with intellectual and developmental disabilities, and people with chemical and other addictions. Fees are based on family gross income and number of family members, reflecting a sliding-scale structure. The organization states it provides care to all area residents, with particular regard for those most in need. No specific insurance plans are named on the site. The agency’s span from mental health therapy to addiction services to IDD employment programs reflects a regional community mental health model intended to address a broad spectrum of behavioral health needs within a single organization.
