NORWICH – Nearly one year after conceptual floor plans were first looked at for renovations to the 1991 wing of the Chenango County Office Building, the newly re-modeled wing was unveiled to the community on Friday during an open house event that celebrated its new designation as Chenango County Behavioral Health Services.

Offering a one-stop shop in terms of behavioral health needs, Chenango County Behavioral Health Services is a consolidation of the county’s former mental health and alcohol and drug abuse services. It provides clients support through a staff of clinicians, nurses, psychiatric providers, and other resources to help navigate the maze of payment and insurance options.

Branding the new model of service provision is a new mission statement: a commitment to offer “the highest quality behavioral health treatment in the most cost effective and compassionate manner while promoting hope, wellness, and recovery.”
