About Pecan Valley Centers for

Pecan Valley Centers for Behavioral & Developmental Healthcare is a community behavioral health organization serving Mineral Wells and the surrounding region as the Local Mental Health and Intellectual and Developmental Disability Authority for Johnson, Somervell, Hood, Erath, Parker, and Palo Pinto counties. With more than 50 years of service, they support people facing mental illness, substance use, and intellectual and developmental disabilities. Their outpatient substance use disorder program serves both adolescents and adults working toward sobriety, and they won’t turn anyone away for inability to pay, offering a sliding fee scale based on income and family size.

Substance use care is trauma-informed and centers on uncovering what drives a person’s addiction while building practical skills to avoid relapse. Services include individual, group, and family counseling, along with parent education, psychoeducation, skills training, case management, and planning for treatment, discharge, and aftercare. Following state and federal guidelines, they give priority admission to pregnant women, people who inject drugs, those at high risk of overdose, DFPS referrals, and individuals experiencing homelessness or housing instability. Beyond addiction care, they run a 24/7 crisis line with a Mobile Crisis Outreach Team, youth and adult crisis respite programs, and veteran services covering peer support, benefits help, mental health care, and financial assistance.
