Welcome
from CEO
In 1972 mental health care in Jefferson County did not, for all practical
purposes, exist. Then a group of dedicated citizens created Community Treatment,
Inc. (Com-Trea). The doors opened in the Spring of 1974. The agency has
continued to grow ever since, responding to the needs of Jefferson County,
Missouri.
COMTREA remains committed to its mission to be an innovative,
effective, and responsive community mental health center for Jefferson
County. In addition, our adolescent chemical abuse and family
counseling efforts now extend to South St. Louis County and other parts of
the St. Louis Metropolitan area. We are committed to assisting these areas
in securing adequate mental health, and family counseling care.
We reassert that emotional and social problems, chemical abuse, domestic
violence and psychiatric illnesses are major concerns of today. We believe
that COMTREA must take a leadership role in addressing these issues for the
health and welfare of all citizens in our county. We also continue to
believe that COMTREA must address issues of concern through direct patient
care, prevention and educational efforts, legislative initiatives, and continued
staff training in the most up to date methodologies for their respective
disciplines.
COMTREA exists to serve those in need; we believe that our clients are
entitled to the best professional care, in the most comfortable
surroundings, at the most reasonable price possible. This we pledge to do.
Dr. Stephen F. Huss, President and CEO
