The Samaritan Center’s Integrated Mobile Wellness visits rural communities that may face lack of access to mental and behavioral health resources and/or services. The focus is to provide integrated mental and behavioral health care as well as resource information to clients that may have barriers of transportation, internet access or stigma associated with receiving care.
Clients visiting the Integrated Mobile Wellness Center can receive:
With our on-board licensed therapist, we are able to provide assessments and establish care for the client. If a client is in need of advanced or long term continuing care, staff on board can help resolve barriers clients may have in accessing more traditional behavioral health care resources. The Integrated Mobile Wellness Center provides all-encompassing care under the belief of healing the body, mind, and social needs. This is accomplished by coordinating through Samaritan Center’s wide range of services to provide the best quality of care for a client.
The IMWC currently provides services in Knox, Daviess, Pike and Martin counties and has traveled 8,500 miles in its first year of service with hopes of reaching into neighboring counties very soon.

The Wabash Valley Friendship Clubhouse (WVFC) is much more than a social or employment service. First and foremost, we are a community of people with mental health difficulties working together toward the common goal of recovery. As with all clubhouses, participants are known as “members” as opposed to patients or clients. Members are unique individuals who possess valuable talents, strengths and abilities which when combined, assist in making the Clubhouse come alive. The sense of membership, support and belonging are the very heart of the Clubhouse way of working.
The Clubhouse is organized to support members living with a mental illness. The mission of the Clubhouse is to provide a safe place for members who have had their lives disrupted by a mental illness. It is a place to allow individuals to gain and give encouragement, to be empowered to connect with community and to gain back their lives lost to mental illness. Through participation, members are given the opportunity to join the worlds of employment, education, meaningful work and friendships. Clubhouses help break isolation and provides persons with mental illness and opportunity to create and share in a safe environment while receiving the necessary support to succeed.

Finding the services you need for your child and family can sometimes be a challenge. In an effort to assist our community, the Samaritan Center Intensive Youth Services program offers the System of Care program to help access services for area youth and their families. The State of Indiana's Department of Mental Health and Addiction (DMHA) has created System of Care, a program to ensure that Indiana citizens have access to quality mental health and addiction services that promote individual, family and community resiliency and recovery.
The System of Care Coordinator focuses on building relationships, connecting caregivers and building alliances so that people who need help can access a coordinated network of services. As personal advocates, they want to make sure people receive seamless, compassionate care.

The Samaritan Center Intensive Youth Services offers Child Safety Seat Inspection. Parents can make an appointment to have their current car seat inspected by one of our certified Child Passenger Safety Technicians (CPST).
Why should you have your child’s care seat checked? Statistics show that 3 out of 4 car seats are installed incorrectly and that motor vehicle crashes are the leading cause of death among children.
Our technicians will assess how your child fits in their car seat, check their car seat for any recalls, and ensure the seat is properly installed into the vehicle.
To schedule an appointment with our Child Passenger Safety Technician contact the Samaritan Center Intensive Youth Services at 812.885.2720.

Samaritan Center offers inpatient and outpatient Electroconvulsive Therapy (ECT). ECT treatment is based on our psychiatrist’s thorough assessment of the patient and the severity of the patient’s illness, medical indications and contradictions as well as non-responsiveness to previous treatments. ECT treatment provides psychiatric care for patients that have been unsuccessful in standard treatment modalities. ECT treatment can be provided as an inpatient or an outpatient service based on the patient’s needs.
Treatment Services Include:
For more information regarding Electroconvulsive Therapy (ECT) please contact Dr. Oriaifo and his staff at 812.886.6800.
Samaritan Center offers inpatient and outpatient Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS). TMS is a noninvasive procedure that uses magnetic fields to stimulate nerve cells in the brain to improve symptoms of depression. TMS is typically used when other depression treatments haven’t been effective. This treatment involves repetitive magnetic pulses and is sometimes called repetitive TMS.
During treatment a marker is placed near your forehead and the electromagnet painlessly delivers a magnetic pulse that stimulates nerves in the area of the brain that controls moods and depression. It stimulates the area of the brain with decreased activity which seems to ease depression symptoms and improve patient’s moods.
Depression is a treatable condition, but for some people, standard treatments aren’t effective. Repetitive TMS is used when traditional treatments like medications and talk therapy (psychotherapy) are not effective.
TMS does not require surgery or implantation of electrodes therefore it doesn’t cause seizures or require sedation or anesthesia. Generally, TMS is considered safe and well-tolerated but may have some side effects. Those include headache, discomfort at the site of treatment, tingling or spasms of facial muscles and lightheadedness. Most symptoms subside quickly.
Treatment Services Include:
