Columbia River Mental Health Services

About Columbia River Mental Health Services – Vancouver, Washington

Columbia River Mental Health Services in Vancouver, Washington, is a certified nonprofit provider of mental and behavioral health care. Support is provided to clients of all ages. State and most private insurance options are accepted. Sliding scale rates are also offered.

Founded in 1942, this organization has decades of experience supporting individuals in need. This location is just one of their four facilities in Southwest Washington.

Addiction treatment for opioid and substance misuse is available here or at the organization’s NorthStar Clinic. Conveniently, same-day treatment options are available, including medication assisted treatment (MAT). Their MAT provides FDA approved methadone, buprenorphine/naloxone and Vivitrol.

MAT and concurrent medication management services are just the tip of the iceberg. The center’s team of multidisciplinary professionals is trained to assess all areas of clients’ health, even if the main problem is mental health or substance use disorder (SUD). This is because they’re treating the whole person, not just the problem. Physicians are on hand to prescribe and manage clients’ medication, and case managers help connect them with resources. Meanwhile peer support specialists and addiction therapists support clients’ emotional needs. Employment and housing support staff can also help clients find stability through their work, and a safe, comfortable living environment in which they can thrive.

Other addiction treatment services that clients might benefit from may fall under the center’s intensive outpatient program (IOP). These include individual and group counseling and peer support.

Former clients describe the lobby as a calming environment, with friendly, knowledgeable staff. While some have expressed frustration with cancelled appointments, others praise the convenience of their virtual appointment options.
