Community Mental Health Centers
For persons with more severe mental illness and needing a higher level of care, or with financial limitations, every region in Texas operates a community mental health center, also known as the Local Mental Health Authority (LMHA). The LMHA offers crisis services, treatment and case management, support services, and hospitalization coordination.
