Southwest Youth and Family Services
A local behavioral-health and family-service pathway. Ask whether the concern fits outpatient treatment, prevention, family support or another current program.
A Hoarding Alliance local resource guide
Start with a conversation, a safety question or the next manageable step. You do not have to solve the whole home today.
Start here - Fight the Blight
Choose the pathway that fits the immediate need. Ask what a provider actually serves, what it costs, what documents are needed and whether Chickasha or Grady County is in its service area.
A first conversation about priorities, support options and whether a free or funded pathway may fit.
Role: nonprofit hoarding-support conversation and virtual-group front door | geography: online; ask about Chickasha and Grady County fit | cost/eligibility: ask about current free and funded options | emergency limit: not crisis dispatch or clinical care
If there is immediate danger, fire, violence, a medical emergency or a crisis that cannot safely wait, call 911 or go to an emergency department. Call or text 988 for a mental-health or substance-use crisis. These resources are not a substitute for emergency dispatch, a property inspection or a legal determination.

A note from the Alliance
This guide is anchored in Chickasha, Oklahoma, and includes city, county, state, nonprofit, national, and independent pathways. A listing here does not mean Fight the Blight endorses every provider or can guarantee availability. The Hoarding Alliance is not a city or county agency, therapy practice, emergency service, or cleanup company. We will keep reviewing this page, but please confirm details directly before relying on them.
