DISC Village, Inc. has been providing behavioral health services with a focus on alcohol and substance use disorders in the Taylor County community since the early 1990s. Over a decade ago, DISC Village, Inc. relocated to 1012 S. Jefferson Street. The Taylor County Human Services Center offers a variety of treatment services for substance use disorder, such as individual counseling, group counseling, Medication Assisted Treatment (MAT), case management, and drug screening. The Taylor County Human Services Center partnered with Second Harvest of the Big Bend to provide free food and water distribution efforts during Hurricanes Idaliah, Debby, and Helene. For the last five years, DISC Village’s Taylor Co. team has provided free Naloxone/Narcan, a lifesaving medication to address the opioid epidemic and the Fentanyl crisis, to the communities they serve. There are currently 14 locations in Taylor County where community members can access free Naloxone/Narcan.
The Taylor Co. Human Services Center team is made up of local community members who are committed to providing quality care to those they serve. The team members are Julia Flowers, Manager, Angela Bratcher, Administrative Assistant, Dorothy Tucker-Burney, Counselor, and Khadijah Ali, Case Manager. The MAT Services team offers a clinic at the Taylor County Human Services Center. They provide medication such as buprenorphine and naltrexone to patients who are seeking assistance with their alcohol or opiate recovery, and by utilizing these new treatment options can improve their success in these efforts. The MAT Services team are Lori Harrison, APRN, Jeremy Vice, LPN, and MAT Coordinator, and Deanna Griffin.
The Taylor Co. Human Services Center is operational Monday through Friday from 8am to 5pm. The team is ready to assist individuals wanting to make positive changes in their lives by addressing their alcohol/substance use disorders.
