Glad to hear the Mental Health Dept with Alcohol & Drug Rehab are MOVING from the Senior Center. The County was not very smart to put the mental & rehab center with Senior Citizens, who need a safe environment to feel mentally safe! DUH…
Actually, the Mental Health office has been out of the Senior Center for a while. They had a temporary home at a modular building located adjacent to the Public Health office at the Government Center while the old SLT City Council building was being remodeled and made ADA compliant. You are right – putting Mental Health with the Senior Center was an ill advised move.
