Chautauqua County Mental Health Centers

UPMC Chautauqua's Behavioral Health Wellness Center on Glasgow Avenue in Jamestown is part of UPMC Chautauqua, a 277-bed non-profit community hospital in southwestern New York within the UPMC health system. Its behavioral health service covers mental health care and addiction medicine across all three settings — inpatient, outpatient and residential — including inpatient and outpatient chemical dependency programs, so someone whose needs change does not have to move organizations to follow them. Being part of a general hospital also means psychiatric and addiction care sits alongside the medical specialties rather than apart from them. Medicaid, Medicare, private and military insurance, state funding and self-pay are all accepted.

Bestself Behavioral Health provides outpatient behavioral health and substance use treatment in Dunkirk, New York, including an intensive outpatient program for co-occurring mental health and substance use disorders. Formed in 2017 through the merger of Child & Adolescent Treatment Services and Lake Shore Behavioral Health, it is the largest community-based behavioral health provider serving children and adults across Western New York. Bestself accepts Medicaid and Medicare, offers a sliding fee scale, and does not turn anyone away for inability to pay.
