Chattahoochee County renews $2,508 mental‑health contract with New Horizons
Summary
The county approved a one‑year renewal with New Horizons Behavioral Health for FY2025 at $2,508 total ($209 per month). The agreement covers mental‑health, child and adolescent services, and substance‑abuse services delivered through New Horizons’ Columbus facilities or local satellite locations.
Chattahoochee County commissioners unanimously approved renewal of an annual agreement with New Horizons Behavioral Health for FY2025, continuing county funding for local access to mental‑health and substance‑abuse services.
The contract packet on file and read into the record lists an annual county contribution of $2,508, payable in monthly installments of $209. New Horizons’ cover letter, signed by Chief Executive Officer Andrea B. Winston, says the amount is the same as FY2024 and asks the county to sign and return the agreement packet for recordkeeping.
Services described in the agreement include child and adolescent mental‑health services, adult mental‑health services and comprehensive drug‑and‑alcohol treatment options; the services are to be provided at New Horizons’ community center in Columbus or at a local satellite site.
Commissioner Jason Frost moved to renew the agreement; the motion was recorded in the minutes as seconded and the commission voted unanimously to approve the renewal. The packet includes instructions for completing the contract and an invoice the agency requested be returned to New Horizons’ business office.
Next steps: County staff will sign the agreement and return the executed original to New Horizons as requested. The county will continue to remit the monthly installments specified in the agreement packet.
