Cherokee Etowah Dekalb CMHC is a community mental health center in Fort Payne, Alabama, established before 1990. It offers care for adolescents as well as adults, and is one of a smaller number of area providers noted for treating depression and for serving veterans and military-connected clients, with TRICARE listed among accepted plans.

The center provides dual-diagnosis care for people managing mental health and substance use concerns together, and uses dialectical behavioral therapy (DBT) as part of its treatment approach. Its combination of youth and adult services, veteran-focused care, and co-occurring treatment reflects a broad community mental health role in the Fort Payne area.
