Centerstone - Carterville

A mental health crisis and outpatient provider, Centerstone Carterville on Municipal Drive offers face-to-face crisis intervention alongside CARF-accredited treatment for children and adolescents. Mobile crisis staff work directly with people experiencing emotional distress, difficulty managing everyday activities, or thoughts of harming themselves or others. The outpatient program integrates substance use and mental health care, while Centerstone’s Crisis Stabilization Unit (CSU) in Carterville serves adults who do not require inpatient hospitalization.

Outpatient Counseling and Treatment Planning

Counselors discuss clients’ challenges, goals, preferences, and treatment history before developing a treatment plan together. They address substance use, anxiety, mood disorders, and trauma-related difficulties, including problems affecting school or family relationships. Individual counseling gives clients time to work directly with a counselor, group sessions bring together people with similar experiences, and family counseling addresses relationships and shared mental health challenges. Providers help clients choose the appropriate counseling format.

Crisis Stabilization and Telepsychiatry

Adults typically stay at the CSU for 3 to 7 days with 24-hour care. The trauma-informed team conducts assessments, develops treatment plans, and leads groups that teach symptom management. A nurse provides care and answers questions, while telepsychiatry clinicians prescribe or adjust medication when necessary. Staff connect clients with Centerstone and community services after discharge. People can request admission screening around the clock, and crisis staff schedule admissions on weekdays.
