Community Counseling Services - Region 7 Mental Health Center - Drug Rehab

The community mental health centers in Mississippi were formed as a result of the Federal Community Mental Health Centers Act of 1963, mandating community access to mental health care. The Mississippi State Legislature passed the Regional Commission Act of 1972 to organize its own community mental health centers. The state is divided into 15 mental health regions according to population. Community Counseling Services, serving one of those regions, is officially known as Mississippi Region VII Mental Health/Mental Retardation Commission. The Board of Supervisors in each county appoints a Mental Health Commissioner. The Commissioners act as a representative of that county on the CCS governing board for four years. Community Counseling Services is a public non-profit agency licensed by the Mississippi State Department of Mental Health. Community Counseling Services has over 300 staff members providing services in 67 programs at 53 sites, covering a seven county area.
