Axis Health System Jail-Based Behavioral Health Services

At Axis Health System, we believe in the power of comprehensive care and the incredible potential of each individual to achieve wellness in both body and mind. Our Jail-Based Behavioral Health Services and Jail Transitions programs provide crucial support for those coping with and recovering from the challenges of incarceration and transitioning back into the community. With a focus on whole-person care, we aim to be a steadfast guide on your path to well-being and a brighter future.

Whether you or a loved one are currently incarcerated or transitioning back into the community, our team is dedicated to providing compassionate, inclusive, and professional care at every step.

Jail-based services are provided in Archuleta, La Plata, Montezuma, and San Miguel counties.

Understanding Our Services:

• Support While Incarcerated: From mental health and substance use assessments to individual and group therapy sessions, our aim is to equip individuals in jails with new skills, coping mechanisms, and a robust support network.

• Cognitive Behavioral Therapy aids in identifying and transforming negative thoughts, making a significant impact on substance use and criminal behavior.

• Our services are voluntary, offering respect and agency to those who choose to engage with us.

• Transitioning Back to the Community: The pathway back into society can be daunting. Our Jail Transition program provides job training, housing assistance, financial planning, and mental health counseling to ensure a smooth reentry.

• Intensive Case Management caters to immediate needs such as housing, food, and transportation.

• We emphasize skill-building for coping, recovery, and managing stress—tools for life.

Your Well-Being Is Our Priority

“It’s about learning how to cope and manage on an ongoing basis, it’s a lifelong process,” says Morgan Williams. For many, accessing support inside the jail can be a pivotal moment—a true lifesaver. By focusing on the whole-person, Axis aims to inspire those we serve to view themselves and their futures with hope and positivity.

We are more than caregivers; we are allies, advocates, and champions for your well-being. If you or someone you know could benefit from our Jail-Based Behavioral Health Services, reach out today. Together, we can pave the way to a better, brighter future.
