Valley Oaks Health - Ferry Street

Valley Oaks Health is a community mental health center (CMHC) with over a century of history, originating in 1906 as a Seventh-day Adventist institution and evolving through mergers and expansions to serve as an integral provider of comprehensive, high-quality mental health, addiction recovery, and primary medical care services to the citizens of ten central Indiana counties, including Benton, Carroll, Clinton, Fountain, Jasper, Montgomery, Newton, Tippecanoe, Warren, and White.

Recognizing its role in championing holistic health, Valley Oaks Health ensures services are available and accessible to everyone, regardless of race, ethnicity, gender, sexual orientation, economic status, or insurance status, fostering an inclusive environment where individuals feel emotionally and physically safe to be their true selves.

Guided by the philosophy that good health is a fundamental need and resources for optimal wellbeing are a basic right, the organization provides high-quality, community-based care tailored to unique needs, offering opportunities for personal growth, learning, problem-solving, and community building to foster hope and enrich the quality of life for neighbors facing mental health challenges, substance use disorders, crises, and more.

Services encompass a wide range, including office-based and school-based therapy, group therapy, medication-assisted treatment, crisis intervention and stabilization, case management, supervised group living, psychological assessments, child advocacy, jail-based addiction programs, and now primary medical care for routine examinations and early detection, all designed to support individuals, families, children, adolescents, and the underserved in achieving long-term recovery and greater independence.
