Harris Center Southeast Community Houston

Since 1965, this center has formed one piece of Houston's safety-net system. From its site on Long Drive, close to South Loop East, it delivers outpatient mental health care, primary health services, and help with substance use all under one roof. Separate programs serve children and adolescents, letting families set up therapy and psychiatric care for younger clients while adults use the same center.

Staff work with each person to shape a treatment plan around their own diagnosis and circumstances. Counseling, medication management, and primary care are available, with case management and housing support for people working toward stability. The center is accessible by bus line 5 or by car, and there is parking on site. Services are available in English and Spanish.
