Andrews Center is a Behavioral Health care System is located at 2323 W Front St., Tyler, Texas 75702.  Andrews Center is a non-profit charity, mental health and mental retardation center. They employ some of the best trained professionals in behavioral health care. I first found out about Andrews Center through the Salvation Army because they offer to take people that are there and in need of help to their center. I have actually been there myself once because of a report I once got from someone who thought I had some problems.

The staff there was very friendly and the wait was just about as long as any other doctor. When I was seen by a physician, she thoroughly evaluated me and came to the conclusion that the diagnosis that the other doctor gave was not true. What a relief to find out that I did not need any medication for something I didn’t have. I know it’s a scary thing to go to a mental place to find out if you are in need of any help in that area….but these days there are more people struggling mentally, emotionally, and physically than we would like to know. In addition to feeling awkward going there you may begin to think that there might be a problem with you and may become frustrated when you can’t figure out exactly what the problem is. The staff will make you feel comfortable as they determine if your are mentally unstable in some way.

In my opinion, we all are a little bit on the lonely side …we just don’t want to admit it because you feel you will be looked down upon and people won’t treat you the same. Just like any other illness you need to make sure you get the help necessary for you to start living life once again, like you used to. Andrews Center is very professional and nobody there will judge you for going there. Everything that they find out is very confidential. You don’t have to be afraid of people finding out about your issues.

Their mission is to serve the community to assure high quality, effective behavioral health care. You can be sure their value is provided in trying to recognize and affirm the dignity and worth of each individual. They also seek the best in others; and demand it from themselves. The Andrews Center takes care of each other and values ethics, honesty and integrity. The staff welcomes your questions and they will never turn you away because of your race, sex, age, religion or disability. My experience with Andrews Center has been good and I would encourage you to seek help, if you need it.
