Service Organizations and New Locations

Rosecrance and the Regional Planning Commission's Youth Assessment Center have been on the move. Rosecrance has a substance abuse treatment center coming soon that will replace the current facility. From the News-Gazette today:

Rosecrance aims to open new treatment center in December
A new residential and outpatient substance-abuse treatment center with a detox unit will open in late December in northwest Champaign.

Rosecrance, the Rockford-based mental-health and substance-abuse treatment system, bought the former PASS Program building at 2302 Moreland Blvd. and plans to open its new central Illinois recovery center there in December, Rosecrance President and CEO Phil Eaton told The News-Gazette on Thursday.

Rosecrance has been offering services in this area since acquiring two Champaign-Urbana mental health and substance-abuse treatment agencies, starting with the former Community Elements in 2016 and the former Prairie Center at the start of this year.

Rosecrance's current residential treatment facility at 122 W. Hill St., C, will be closing when the new building is ready to open, Eaton said. That building was sold to Green Street Realty, which plans to redevelop it into apartments.

Youth Assessment Center touts success stories at new location's open house

The Champaign County Youth Assessment Center has been up and running at its new west Champaign location since April. But now, with all the equipment plugged in and the welcome mat out front, officials are taking time to celebrate some success stories.

The center provides services to troubled kids in an attempt to keep them out of court and prison. Thanks to a $50,000 donation from Jimmy John’s founder Jimmy John Liautaud, its rent at 2011 Round Barn Road is covered for three years.

“What we’re excited about are our partnerships that we are continually growing with the police departments and with the school districts, especially,” said coordinator Jonathan Westfield, a former Champaign police officer. “But we’re also looking to branch out to a lot of the community organizations that work with juveniles, and we can better provide access to these services that they have.”
