Evoke Wellness to provide substance abuse treatment for Hays County Mental Health Court Program

The Hays County Mental Health Court staff will complete a financial assessment with the court to assess if a participant has insurance and/or the ability to pay. If the court participant does have insurance accepted by Evoke Wellness, then the participant will be required to use that insurance to cover their costs.

Budget explained

The county has allotted $45,000 in American Rescue Plan Act grant monies, which will be used to cover the cost of treatment for court participants who do not have insurance, cannot pay their insurance copay or cannot pay out of pocket for treatment.
