The Challenge: Lack of Specialized Services

Home ﹥ The challenge ﹥ Lack of specialized services

The statistics are staggering and getting worse. The lack of evidence-based behavioral health treatment programs has reached epidemic proportions across the country.

Over 60% of youth with major depressive disorder do not receive any mental health treatment*, and only 27% of youth who are treated receive consistent care.
Fewer than 10% of Americans with OCD** receive evidence-based treatment.
In 2020, the rate of drug overdose deaths increased 31% from the year before***, exposing large gaps in access to specialized addiction treatment programs.

Rogers responds

For decades, individuals and families have left their hometowns to benefit from Rogers’ specialized mental health services. In fact, 40-50% of patients in treatment programs at Rogers in Oconomowoc, WI, come from out of state.

Rogers has made a commitment to alter this disparity of local specialized treatment programs. Within the past decade alone, Rogers has opened clinics in 10 states in order to meet the urgent and unfulfilled needs of communities from coast to coast. This is thanks, in part, to the financial support of grateful patient families who are determined to bring Rogers Behavioral Health’s specialty programs closer to their communities.
