About Hill Country Community MH/MR Center

Hill Country Community MH/MR Center, now operating as Hill Country MHDD Centers, is a community behavioral health organization based in Kerrville, Texas, serving roughly 20 counties across the Hill Country. Their services cover adult and child mental health, intellectual and developmental disabilities, substance use, crisis care, and justice-involved services, with a focus on helping people gain more control over their lives and stay connected to their communities. For addiction, they offer outpatient substance use disorder treatment, including medication-assisted treatment (MAT). Cost shouldn’t be a barrier: no one is turned away for inability to pay, a sliding fee scale is available to those who qualify, and both insurance and self-pay are accepted.

Their MAT program treats addiction as a medical illness, pairing prescribed medication with counseling to ease withdrawal and support lasting sobriety. Care is overseen by a team of licensed clinicians, physicians, case managers, and peer support specialists, and treatment is tailored to the individual. People dealing with both a mental health condition and substance use can receive integrated care through their co-occurring psychiatric and substance use disorder (COPSD) services, along with peer support and dedicated programs for veterans. For urgent situations, they run a 24-hour crisis hotline, a mobile crisis outreach team, a crisis stabilization unit, and a youth crisis respite center.
