Behavioral Health
Welcome to Clackamas County Behavioral Health. Since 1962, we have been providing public, non-profit community Behavioral Health Services to the residents of Clackamas County. We offer one of the most comprehensive Behavioral Health programs in the state of Oregon, providing high quality child, adult, and family services delivered by a skilled staff of trained Behavioral Health professionals. Our mission is to create partnerships for recovery, independence, and growth for people with mental health and substance use issues.
Our programs include outpatient services for youth and adults with mental and emotional disturbances; alcohol and drug abuse treatment for both youth and adults; treatment for the severely and persistently mentally ill; and 24-hour crisis services
The Clackamas County Behavioral Health Division, as part of a mental health redesign project, has undergone development of a Peer Delivered Service System of Care. You can find out more by visiting the Peers EDGE blog maintained by our Peer Services Coordinator.
Clackamas County Behavioral Health operates clinical service centers located in Oregon City and Sandy. The fees we charge take into account family size and ability to pay. Our services are available for the deaf and hearing impaired.
