Company History
In 1963, President Kennedy signed the Community Mental Health Act. The Act helped establish community mental health centers throughout the country – bringing care for people living with mental illness out of institutions and back into the community. Integral Care, formerly the Austin-Travis County Mental Health Mental and Retardation Center, has worked for five decades to make that bold vision a reality in Travis County.
Since 1967, Integral Care has supported the health and well-being of adults and children living with mental illness, substance use disorder and intellectual and developmental disabilities. Integral Care was the first community center to provide high-quality, community-based behavioral health and intellectual disabilities services in Central Texas so that people seeking our services could reach their full potential and thrive.
As the Local Mental Health and Intellectual and Developmental Disability Authority, Integral Care partners with local organizations to strengthen a community network in support of mental health, offers guidance to other behavioral health agencies, and continues to battle stigma surrounding mental illness throughout the community.
Integral Care had a modest start with one location on Red River Street and a Quonset hut next door, which housed our methadone clinic. We now have over 40 locations across Travis County.
Integral Care is here and ready to meet the needs in Travis County for the next 50 years and beyond.
