Central Pharmacy: Central Pharmacy is a line of credit from the Ohio Department of Mental
Health to provide psychiatric medications to persons who are severely mentally disabled, are
indigent and unable to pay for their medication.
Poly Recovery: An alternative to inpatient hospitalization for alcoholism and other chemical
dependencies, this program allows employees to seek treatment for substance abuse problems
without losing valuable time from work or home. The month long program meets three times a
week from 3:00 p.m. to 6:30 p.m. Follow-up services (regularly scheduled group therapy
sessions) are available and encouraged for a 6-month period.
Adult & Children's Residential Treatment Programs: The Floyd Simantel Clinic (an adult
residential treatment facility) and the Children's Residential Center (CRC) are designed to provide
alternatives to psychiatric hospitalization and to assist individuals in returning home from a
hospitalization. Both facilities provide short-term respite care as an alternative to hospitalizations
and/or to provide crisis stabilization services. In addition, the Center offers a range of housing
options for persons with a serious mental illness, including family care homes (for those who are
unable to live independently) and apartments for independent living.
Housing Assistance Program(HAP): This is an allocation for housing assistance from the Ohio
Department of Mental Health. This program provides rental subsidy (time-limited) for persons
with a serious mental illness as a transition to independent living.
Women's Specialized Services: A grant from the Ohio Department of Alcohol & Drug
Addiction Services is utilized to assist chemically dependent or substance abusing women through
assessment, intervention, case management, counseling, etc.; to assist pregnant women in having
alcohol and other drug-free pregnancies through outreach, education, interim services, treatment,
follow-up, etc; to enhance services for substance-involved or at-risk female youth; and to enhance
services for children of substance abusing women.
Driver Intervention Program (DIP): This program is designed to provide education,

Big Brothers/Big Sisters (BB/BS) matches children ages 7 to 14 from single parent families with volunteer adults. The volunteer acts as a role model and friend to the child. The volunteer and child spend approximately 3 to 5 hours per week together for at least one year. The volunteers must be at least 21 years old, live within the service area and be able to make at least a one year commitment to the child. The volunteers are thoroughly screened. The agency provides professional casework services, match supervision and support, training and team review. BB/BS services are provided in Ross, Fayette, Pickaway, Pike and Ross Counties and are certified for prevention services by the Ohio Department of Mental Health. Big Brothers/Big Sisters Association is also certified through the national Big Brothers/Big Sisters of America.
Big for a Day: Adult volunteers (interested in Big Brothers/Big Sisters but who do not have the time necessary for a full-time match) are matched with a waiting list child for the day during special activities sponsored by the agency.
Junior Bigs: Children who have participated in the program as "Littles" can continue the program through Junior Bigs. This allows those who are over 14 to continue in the program by serving as role models for the younger children and to assist the agency in other activities.
Waiting List Services: Due to the number of children on the waiting list, the Agency plans
monthly activities for these children as well as regular contact is maintained with the child and
family.
