Lakes Regional Community Center – Sherman

Lakes Regional Community Center is the non-profit community center for Northeast Texas, and its Sherman clinic provides intensive outpatient treatment for substance use disorders alongside counseling for teens and adults, mental health care, intellectual and developmental disability services and early childhood intervention. It was created on 1 December 1999, when nine county judges pressed for a state-operated program to be converted into a board-governed community non-profit. Texas Medicaid is accepted including the managed programs STAR, STAR Plus and STAR Kids, along with Medicare, private and military insurance and state funding — and services are never denied for inability to pay, with uninsured people eligible for a sliding fee discount based on family size and income. Interpretation services are available.
