Hamilton Center

What Hamilton Center does

Hamilton Center, Inc. is a not-for-profit regional behavioral health system founded in 1971, headquartered in Terre Haute, Indiana, and serving central and west central Indiana through 11 office locations across 10 counties (Clay, Greene, Hendricks, Marion, Owen, Parke, Putnam, Sullivan, Vermillion, and Vigo). The organization delivers a comprehensive portfolio of services including addictions treatment, adult intensive behavioral health, child and adolescent services, crisis diversion, primary care integration, employment services, mental health first aid training, military veteran programs, and WIN Recovery medication-assisted treatment. Its customer base consists of approximately 13,000 consumers per year - adults with mental health challenges, children/adolescents and families, individuals with substance use disorders, veterans, and individuals in behavioral health crisis.

The company's technical foundation is built on Certified Community Behavioral Health Clinic (CCBHC) standards delivered with evidence-based, trauma-informed, person-centered treatment planning. Effective January 1, 2025, Hamilton Center operates as one of eight CCBHC demonstration pilot sites in Indiana's Medicaid Demonstration Program, enabling a full crisis continuum including mobile crisis response, 24/7/365 crisis stabilization, and integration with the 988 National Suicide Prevention Lifeline. Distribution occurs through physical county offices, mobile crisis teams operating within a 45-mile radius, school- and court-based programs (including drug courts), telehealth/patient portal access, and partnerships with law enforcement, healthcare providers, and community organizations. Differentiated program elements include a Peer Recovery Specialist program reporting 86% success rates on crisis calls when peers are present, and Joint Commission Gold Seal accreditation.

Revenue is generated primarily through fee-for-service billing to insurance, Medicaid, Medicare, and managed care plans for services such as psychiatric evaluations ($60-$165.87), individual therapy ($45-$149 per session), group therapy ($33.22-$68), and inpatient bed days ($355.86-$1,153.60). A sliding fee scale adjusts charges for Indiana residents based on family size, income, and clinical diagnosis, with payment plans available. Supplementary funding flows from the Hamilton Center Foundation (a separately governed 501(c)(3) distributing roughly $50,000 per year across multiple programs), state and federal grants ($124,000 HHS in 2015, $100,000 Indiana DMHA in 2015, $38,255 ARPA-funded in 2025), and community foundation awards. The organization is governed by a Board of Directors with Melvin L. Burks as President and CEO, employs 501-1000 staff, and maintains no parent company, venture capital, or private equity ownership.
