About Samaritan Medical Center Behavioral Health Services

This center provides outpatient care for children and adults dealing with mental health or substance use issues. Services address conditions like ADHD, depression, anxiety, and trauma. Specialized support is also available for those referred through legal or driving-related programs. Walk-in screenings are offered each weekday morning to help increase access to care in a community with limited options.
Each person receives a care plan that reflects their needs and goals. Treatment may include individual, group, or family therapy, along with Medication Assisted Treatment (MAT) for substance use recovery. Providers often collaborate with schools, doctors, and community programs to ensure care is consistent, supportive, and well-coordinated across all areas of life.
Care begins with a full evaluation to guide the treatment plan. Therapy may focus on managing emotions, improving relationships, or addressing family challenges. Children are supported with input from parents, schools, and agencies. The goal is to create a safe, welcoming space where people feel understood and can begin to heal.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does Samaritan Medical Center Behavioral Health Services accept Medicaid?
SAMHSA data does not list Medicaid among this facility's accepted payment types. Call (315) 779-5074 directly to confirm — coverage may have changed since the last SAMHSA sync. You can also browse other TN centers that accept Medicaid.
What level of care does Samaritan Medical Center Behavioral Health Services offer?

How do I start treatment at Samaritan Medical Center Behavioral Health Services?
Call the facility directly at (315) 779-5074 for an intake assessment. Our free 24/7 helpline (+1 (205) 973-2878) can also help you compare programs, verify insurance, and navigate options. No physician referral is required.
Is treatment confidential?
Yes. Federal law (42 CFR Part 2) provides strict confidentiality protections for substance use treatment records — stricter than HIPAA. Records cannot be disclosed without written consent, even to family, employers, or law enforcement.
What happens when you call? (general intake process)

Most treatment centers follow a 4-step intake: (1) confidential assessment — substance history, mental health, insurance, preferences (protected by 42 CFR Part 2); (2) insurance verification — facility contacts your plan to confirm coverage and out-of-pocket costs; (3) level-of-care recommendation — clinical staff match you to detox, residential, PHP, IOP, or outpatient based on severity; (4) admission typically within 24–48 hours. Timing varies by facility and bed availability.
