Our goal is to provide the treatment that best fits the needs of each individual. We provide services for both voluntary and court mandated individuals. We also provide specific services for individuals who are parenting, who have trauma histories and for those who are dealing with significant emotional and behavioral challenges.

We believe that regular attendance is critical for treatment to be beneficial. Completing treatment means developing goals that support an appropriate change regarding substances of abuse or dependence, both during and after treatment.

Prevention, early intervention, outpatient therapy and after care treatment services are available for children and youth experiencing, or at risk of, developing alcohol or drug abuse problems. We work closely with youth to identify and make progress on their personal recovery goals. Treatment services include:

• Early Intervention
• Alcohol and drug assessment
• Individual, family and group therapy
• Group and family education
• Urine analysis to monitor use and progress in treatment
• Relapse prevention planning
• Continuing therapy in after care

This program provides comprehensive services for severely and persistently mentally ill adults.

Community Support Team (CST) is designed to assist individuals with stabilizing and controlling their psychiatric symptoms; providing housing assistance; developing a network of support for individuals, their families and friends; and creating opportunities for employment or other meaningful daily activity.

CST services promote independence, productivity and community integration, with our clients being encouraged and supported to be active in decisions and in the development of their own individual treatment plans. The type, intensity and sources of services reflect individual needs and preferences and promote independence. Services are flexible and are primarily provided in our clients' homes and the community. Services available include:

• Skills training
• Case Management/ Resource Coordination
• Supported Housing
• Supported Employment
• Medication Management/ Medication Skills Training
• Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy
• Substance Abuse Treatment

Treatment court participants must be willing to participate in a rigorous treatment and recovery program under close judicial supervision and monitoring. These courts make use of probation and/or parole officers, frequent drug testing, outpatient addiction and mental health treatment services, incentives for participation and immediate sanctions for failure to follow through with treatment and monitoring directives. Clackamas County Behavioral Health provides three types of treatment courts for adult offenders:

• Mental Health Court
• Adult Drug Court
• DUII Drug Court

Treatment courts are voluntary. Individuals entering these court programs must be willing to follow the rules of the treatment court program. Each Treatment Court has different criteria for participation.  Clackamas County treatment court programs will not work with individuals charged with violent crimes like rape, murder or arson.

To find out if you qualify for one of these programs contact your attorney or, if you are already sentenced, your Probation or Parole Officer, and ask to be referred to one of the treatment court programs. As part of the referral process you will be required to attend and observe a treatment court session. If you are still interested in participation after observing the court proceedings, you will be screened for eligibility by one of our behavioral health team members.

If accepted in to the program, a treatment plan will be developed. The Judge will require regular attendance at treatment court sessions in addition to the counseling services and Community Corrections requirements.
