💙 Keeping Behavioral Health Care Close to Home 💙
Behavioral health needs in Warren County and Southwest Mississippi continue to grow — and River Ridge Behavioral Health – Region 15 remains committed to meeting those needs despite ongoing funding and workforce challenges.
As the Region 15 Community Behavioral Health Center, River Ridge provides essential behavioral health and substance use services across Warren, Claiborne, Jefferson, Adams, and Wilkinson counties — helping individuals stay out of jails and state hospitals and supported in their communities.
🧠 Services & community partnerships include:
• Outpatient therapy & psychiatric care
• Mobile Crisis Response (24/7)
• Crisis Stabilization Unit (12-bed facility in Natchez)
• PACT (Program of Assertive Community Treatment)
• Case management & community-based support
• Crisis Intervention Team (CIT) Training for local law enforcement
• Joint crisis response partnerships with schools & agencies
“Our measuring stick has always been how well we keep people out of institutions,” said leadership. Region 15 has historically maintained one of the lowest recidivism rates in the state, reflecting the impact of community-based behavioral health services.
With behavioral health needs rising — especially among youth and young adults post-COVID — River Ridge continues to advocate for increased funding, competitive staffing support, and expanded services to ensure care remains accessible and local.
