NEIBH opens room for the mental health and substance abuse recovery community at no cost

Northeast Iowa Behavioral Health has opened a free center for the mental health and substance abuse recovery community.

The Phoenix Center is now open for community members to come and relax, enjoy the computer, access the internet, play Wii, watch TV, socialize with recovering friends, or speak with one of the Peer Support Specialists.

Northeast Iowa Behavioral Health in Decorah has hired four Peer Support Specialists who will work in the community as well as in The Phoenix Center to provide additional support, advice, and guidance to individuals in the surrounding areas.

Start up funding for the Phoenix Center was provided by a Crisis Stabilization Grant from Magellan Behavioral Health Services and the Department of Human Services as well as funds provided by Allamakee, Clayton, Howard, and Winneshiek Counties.
