Located along the shores of Lake Champlain, BHSNorth has over 20 sites which comprise its 28 programs and administrative facility. In June of 1999, a merger occurred between Northern New York Center and the Mental Health Association of Clinton County. Although both entities had been serving the individuals and families of Clinton, Essex and Franklin counties, the merger brought together the leaders in the behavioral health field offering clients a continuum of seamless services. Our administrative offices are located in the City of Plattsburgh.
Clients live or are seen at various locations which meet their needs throughout the tri-county area.
BHSNorth accepts referrals from hospitals, other human service agencies, primary and specialty physicians, clergy, the criminal justice system and self referrals. BHSNorth accepts payments from Medicaid, Medicare, third party private insurance, and self pay. Some programs are offered at no cost to the client.
