Behavioral Health

Behavioral Health Program

The Clark County Behavioral Health Program works actively with community partners to provide services and support systems, and to address relevant issues towards reducing the impact of substance abuse in our community. Services are provided in a manner that respects individual's and families' dignity and choices. 

Washington State Division of Alcohol & Substance Abuse community services treatment funds are allocated in accordance with the county plan to assure the best feasible access to appropriate services for individuals who are low-income. Services are first offered to persons within the following categories:

  • Pregnant women

Housing Options

Housing is a foundational need. Clark County Community Services commissioned the compilation of the Housing Options report that identifies needs and available resources, and makes recommendations to help create housing options for people with behavioral health disorders.
