Community Mental Health/Mental Retardation Centers

Community Mental Health/Mental Retardation Centers (CMH/MRC) are publicly funded outpatient facilities. They offer a range of mental health treatment, including crisis intervention, though not all provide 24-hour services.

Payment is on a sliding scale according to an individual's ability to pay. Philadelphia residents may seek services at any center in Philadelphia.
