Passages Behavioral Health Services was founded out of need to service mentally ill, co-occurring, correctional clients seeking a second chance. Our 40 years of clinical experience has prepared us to do this work which includes providing case management, Community Living Suppports (CLS), clinical assessment, treatment planning and more. Passages Behavioral Health also manages re-entry housing for this population know as the Passages House. We provide a service that not only bridges folks to another chance but helps maintain their progress in the community.

About Three Quarters of Health Care Spending...

Is now on people with chronic conditions. Our health care delivery systems are becoming being more and more complicated. Dual enrollees (Medicare and Medicaid) with Medicare Part D are struggling to receive the medications that they need to take care of very serious and chronic illnesses. Some states have stepped in to make sure consumers are receiving the medications that are vital to them.

What can we do? As individuals it seems like we have little control over these bigger systems. We can make changes in our lifestyles. We can educate ourselves on prevention and taking care of ourselves. We can stay healthy, eat right, exercise our bodies and our minds, learn stress coping skills, and stress reduction skills. There will be less need for health care systems in your life.
