Communicare Haven House

Communicare Haven House provides outpatient substance use and mental health treatment to communities across a wide swath of northern Mississippi. Rather than functioning as a short-term crisis stop, the center is built around ongoing recovery — offering the kind of consistent outpatient programming and counseling that sustains long-term sobriety after a person has made the decision to seek help. For those already in recovery who need continued support, Haven House offers a stable, community-grounded option close to home.

The center's six-county service area — covering Lafayette, Calhoun, Marshall, Panola, Tate, and Yalobusha counties — means that many people in the region have access to structured outpatient care without needing to travel far from their support networks. That local connection matters in recovery, where community ties and family involvement often make a meaningful difference in outcomes over time.

One of the more practical features at Communicare Haven House is its telehealth capability. For people living in rural parts of its service area — or for those whose work schedules, transportation, or family responsibilities make regular in-person visits difficult — telehealth brings outpatient substance abuse treatment directly to them. This flexibility helps people stay engaged with their recovery programming during the periods between milestones, when consistency tends to matter most.

The center is open Monday through Friday from 8 AM to 5 PM, and the combination of in-person and telehealth options means that people at different stages of recovery — whether they are just beginning outpatient treatment or working to maintain hard-won progress — can find an access point that fits their lives. Crisis stabilization services round out the care continuum, providing support during acute moments without requiring a full inpatient admission.

Communicare Haven House is designed to serve people across the lifespan and across different life circumstances. Adults managing substance use disorders, adolescents and children dealing with early behavioral health challenges, families navigating a loved one's recovery, and veterans and active duty service members with unique treatment needs are all explicitly part of the center's served population. The VA is among the insurance carriers accepted, making Haven House an accessible option for military-connected individuals in the region.

Family involvement in recovery is increasingly recognized as a factor in long-term success, and the center's explicit inclusion of families as a served population signals that support extends beyond the individual. For Sober Nation's audience — people thinking about sustained recovery and the community around it — Haven House's broad reach across generations and roles in the family unit reflects a recovery model that mirrors how real communities function.

Communicare Haven House accepts a broad range of insurance, including Medicaid, Medicare, VA benefits, and private plans from Blue Cross Blue Shield, Aetna, Cigna, United Healthcare, Ambetter, Humana, Anthem, and Molina. For those without insurance, the center offers a sliding fee scale for individuals and families earning under 200 percent of the federal poverty level — and goes further by committing that no one will be turned away regardless of their ability to pay.

That stance on access is not boilerplate. It reflects a community mental health model in which the financial realities of the people the center serves are taken seriously. For someone in early recovery who may be navigating employment gaps, insurance transitions, or limited savings, knowing that cost will not be an automatic barrier to ongoing outpatient treatment can itself be a meaningful part of choosing to stay in care.
