METROPOLIS—Arrowleaf has announced that it is expanding into a new location in Massac County. Their new Massac County Office will be located at 511 Catherine Street in Metropolis just across from the Dairy Queen.

“We’ve had a lot of staff interest in opening an office in Massac County in recent years,” explained Arrowleaf CEO Sherrie L. Crabb. “We’ve served clients from Massac County for a long time so it’s always been more a question of when not if.”

As the number of clients served in Metropolis and surrounding communities has increased and as Arrowleaf has a number of staff that live near Metropolis, Crabb’s team began to look at options.

“It was around six months ago that we decided it was time to identify a location,” added Crabb. “When we saw this property was available right off the highway in an area of town that isn’t extremely busy, we felt like this was the spot.”

Renovations will begin on Arrowleaf’s Massac County Office in December 2023, with a possible opening in February 2024.

“Our plan, to begin with, is to provide primarily outpatient behavioral health services from this location,” said Crabb. “But as always, we will be ready to adapt to the community’s needs and do everything we can to bring resources and opportunities to Massac County.”
