Merakey 2nd Street

Addressing serious mental illness and developmental disabilities through coordinated care, Merakey 2nd Street is a community-based dual-diagnosis treatment center for adults with psychiatric conditions and intellectual or developmental disabilities. They address mental health symptoms, communication needs, physical healthcare concerns, housing challenges, crises, and daily-living needs through their Dual Diagnosis Treatment Team (DDTT) and related developmental services.

Restore Stability through Coordination

Their dual diagnosis treatment team provides counseling, physical healthcare coordination, housing assistance, crisis intervention, case management, medication care, behavior planning, and practical guidance. This integrated approach connects mental health, developmental needs, relationships, safety, physical wellbeing, and community participation within one plan, giving adults clearer direction and stronger continuity of care.

Extend Support into Community

Located along 2nd Street, this center is part of Merakey, a nonprofit dedicated to helping people, families, and communities. Merakey began in Philadelphia in 1969 as The Northwest Center, later became NHS Human Services, and has grown into a multi-state provider serving 12 states across behavioral health, autism, addiction recovery, intellectual and developmental disability, education, foster care, aging, and veteran services. At this location, they promote greater health, stability, independence, and meaningful community life.
