About Piatt County Mental Health Center

Piatt County Mental Health Center is a community behavioral health provider in Monticello, Illinois, offering mental health, substance use, and developmental disability services to residents of Piatt County and surrounding areas. Established by the county board in 1970 and accredited by CARF, they focus on helping people reach recovery and build the skills to maintain it over the long term. Their substance use program is state-licensed for Level I and Level II outpatient addiction counseling and treatment for both adults and adolescents. They accept private insurance, Medicare, Medicaid, and self-pay, offer an income-based sliding fee scale, and commit to not turning away any Piatt County resident who needs care.

Treatment begins with an alcohol and drug assessment to gauge severity, followed by individual counseling and group sessions that pair education with recovery-focused work. They also provide court-requested and Secretary of State DUI evaluations, remedial alcohol and drug classes, and counseling and support groups for family members and friends coping with a loved one’s addiction. Teens can receive school-based individual and group counseling and crisis intervention in Piatt and DeWitt Counties, with services available for court-referred adolescents. Grant-funded recovery support services offer sober recreational activities and stigma-reduction efforts, pregnant individuals can receive immediate assessment and treatment on request, and evening hours on Tuesdays and Thursdays help people fit care around work or school.
