About Journey Mental Health Center Yahara House

Journey Mental Health Center provides comprehensive behavioral health services for individuals of all ages and backgrounds. Their clinic-based care includes therapy, assessments, and medication management for both adults and children, with culturally affirming programs like Clinica Latina for Spanish-speaking individuals and Ujima for the African American community. Specialized services also include the Family Preservation Program and Legal Diversion Services for those involved with OWI-related legal issues.
For individuals in crisis, Journey offers 24/7 support through a crisis line, mobile response teams, co-response units, and short-term stabilization. The Resource Bridge connects people to ongoing care, while in-home services help families remain safe and stable.
Community-based programs provide individualized support in everyday settings through CSP, CCS, and school-based services. The PROPS program focuses on early intervention for youth experiencing first-episode psychosis, and Yahara House offers recovery-focused support through meaningful community roles. Medication-Assisted Treatment (MAT) is available, supported by an on-site pharmacy for added convenience.
Journey treats a wide range of mental health and substance use concerns, including depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, trauma, psychosis, ADHD, autism, and co-occurring conditions. Treatment is grounded in evidence-based, person-centered approaches such as CBT, DBT, MI, family therapy, peer support, and culturally responsive care—empowering individuals to heal, grow, and thrive in their communities.

Evidence-Based Context: According to SAMHSA's National Survey on Drug Use and Health (2023), approximately 48.7 million Americans aged 12 or older had a substance use disorder in the past year. The National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA) emphasizes that treatment programs combining behavioral therapy with medication-assisted approaches show the highest rates of sustained recovery. Facilities like Journey Mental Health Center Yahara House provide structured pathways to evidence-based care. Sources: SAMHSA NSDUH 2023, NIDA Principles of Drug Addiction Treatment (4th Ed.)
