Outpatient Treatment

Mental illness and substance use often go hand-in-hand. That’s called co-occurring disorders, and we’re experts in treating them.

At KMHS, you’re in charge of your own recovery. You can choose to work on one issue at a time or both. And you can choose to work with one clinician to get treatment for both mental health and substance use concerns. Or you can work with separate clinicians for each issue. Either way, we provide coordinated care because that leads to the best long-term results.

Outpatient Services

Pathways

This targeted program provides whole-person treatment for adults and youth ages 13 and older. To take part, you must be a KMHS client and have completed a substance use disorder assessment. Pathways offers:

  • Individual therapy
  • Group therapy
  • A range of intensity levels, depending on the client’s need
  • Referrals to higher levels of care including Medication Assisted Treatment, Pacific Hope & Recovery Center and individual mental health counseling
Co-occurring Disorders

This program takes an integrated approach to treatment. Adults work with one clinician on both mental health and substance use.

  • Clients may choose to focus on one issue at a time, both issues together, or they can alternate.
  • It does not require the completion of a substance use disorder assessment.
  • Clients can be referred directly to the program, which allows them to begin treatment faster.

Eligibility

Our outpatient substance use recovery programs are open to KMHS clients.

How to Access Services

If you feel you could benefit from substance use recovery programs, ask our Access Department for a referral during your first visit. You can also talk to your care team at any time. We’ll help you decide which program is best for you.

What to Expect

Every client has a unique set of strengths and challenges. Our clinicians look at the whole person, addressing medical, psychological and social factors. We work to stabilize clients’ mental illness, provide tools for addressing substance use, and show that recovery is possible.
