History[edit]
The Centerstone name was first used in 1997, but the organization’s history dates back to 1955 when Lowell Engelking and E.W. Williams, MD created the Center for Behavioral Health, to provide mental health services in Columbus, Indiana.[citation needed]
Organizations that are now part of Centerstone include Columbia Area Mental Health Centers, The Harriet Cohn Center,[9] The Dede Wallace Center,[10] The H Group,[11] Dunn Mental Health Center, and Manatee Glens.[12]
In 2018, Centerstone began a partnership with Cohen Veterans Network and now operates two mental health facilities for post 9-11 military veterans and their families. These clinics are in Clarksville, Tennessee,[13] and Jacksonville, Florida.[14]
In May 2018, David Guth, CEO of Centerstone testified before national congressional House Subcommittee on Health, addressing the Opioid Crisis nationwide. [15]
The FCC announced in 2019 that it would designate a three digit phone number (988) for a National Suicide Prevention hotline. A national hotline, with a memorable number will become the 911 for mental health, according to VP Policy with Centerstone.[16]
Centerstone awarded $2 million grant to further Suicide Prevention efforts in Indiana, Tennessee, Florida and Illinois. Four of 15 grants awarded by SAMSHA for the Zero Suicide initiative across the nation. [17]
In May 2020, Centerstone featured in Washington Post article about the mental health industry response to COVID-19. [18]
In July of 2020, Centerstone granted a $3.4 million grant from SAMSHA for Comprehensive Opioid Recovery Center (CORC), one of only two CORC grants awarded this year. The grant is intended to help fund addiction treatment services to underserved counties in Indiana. [19]
In response to new guidance from CMS (Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services), Centerstone and other behavioral health companies are driving adoption of telehealth for the delivery of mental health services. [20]
