The Counseling Center

What The Counseling Center does

The Counseling Center (legally Scioto County Counseling Center, Inc.) is a Portsmouth, Ohio-based non-profit organization that delivers integrated behavioral health, substance use disorder treatment, mental health counseling, and primary care services. Founded approximately 1983, the organization operates from a 13-location footprint spanning Southeast Ohio — including Portsmouth (headquarters plus seven satellite offices), Ironton, West Union, New Boston, Franklin Furnace, Sardinia, Jackson, and a Franklin County office in Columbus — supported by a 600+ person workforce.

The organization runs a full continuum of care organized into 12 distinct clinical programs: medically supervised detoxification (Foundations Withdrawal Management, 35+ beds), 24/7 acute crisis stabilization, intensive outpatient and partial hospitalization (200+ beds), residential and supportive/transitional living housing (120+ beds across men, women, and mothers-with-children tracks), outpatient mental health and substance use treatment, youth behavioral health, integrated primary care under the TCC Health brand, vocational and life skills training (Success Center), and holistic wellness services under the Health & Wellness Center (HAWC), launched in October 2018. Programming is segmented for distinct populations including justice-involved individuals (Hughes Re-Entry Center), pregnant women and mothers with children (Stepping Stones), unhoused individuals (Drop-In Center), and children/adolescents.

Revenue is generated through a mix of billable clinical services reimbursed by commercial insurance, Medicaid, and other government programs; a sliding fee scale for uninsured or under-insured individuals; and charitable donations accepted via an etapestry-powered portal. Access points include a same-day walk-in Behavioral Health Quick Care Clinic, a 24/7 crisis hotline, Day One Admissions for new client intake, and transportation services in Adams and Scioto Counties funded through the respective Departments of Job and Family Services. All programs and housing operate under CARF accreditation and Ohio Department of Behavioral Health oversight.
