About Kitsap Mental Health Services – Bremerton
Kitsap Mental Health Services is located in Bremerton, Washington. This is a Certified Community Behavioral Health Clinic (CCBHC) that offers outpatient treatment for substance use and co-occurring mental health disorders. Their services include medication assisted treatment (MAT). The outpatient programs are for adults 18 and older.
The center accepts commercial insurance and Medicaid and Medicaid Managed Care Organizations. If you don’t have insurance then they’ll help you determine whether you’re eligible for Medicaid. They also offer a sliding fee payment schedule.
In addition to regular outpatient substance use and mental health treatment programs, one of the unique services offered here is the solution focused brief therapy program. Through this program, you’ll pair with a therapist and build a vision for your future. You’ll set goals and identify your skills and strengths to help you move toward your envisioned future. Most people meet with their therapist once or twice a week for about six months.
They also have the Program for Assertive Community Treatment (PACT). In this program, you’ll get intensive individualized mental health support through a team. This is for those with chronic and severe mental health challenges that interfere with normal daily activities. Participants learn to engage and live successfully within the community. The team helps individuals with employment, housing, and social connections. Treatment includes evidence based therapies for substance use and co occurring mental health conditions.
Another unique treatment offering is Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) for people with treatment resistant depression. The sessions last between three and 20 minutes and are not invasive. You’ll be awake during treatment and able to drive yourself home. TMS is safe, has few side effects, and is for people who have tried multiple antidepressants without success.
Their Kitsap Clubhouse serves people with severe mental illness. Kitsap County residents who are 18 and older can join no matter their income or insurance status and they don’t have to be clients at Kitsap. Members work with staff to run the Clubhouse. Clients learn employment skills while building peer connections. Clients get connected to housing opportunities and supported employment.
