About Lincoln County Health and Human Services – Nye Street – Newport
Lincoln County Health and Human Services – Nye Street provides an array of public services for kids, adolescents, adults, and seniors in Newport, Oregon. This includes food assistance, educational programs, and home safety services. They also offer counseling services to support your mental and behavioral health, including addiction recovery programs. These programs are available at their outpatient clinics and several school based health centers throughout the county.
At the Newport clinic, they offer individual, family, and group counseling services, as well as psychiatric support. I appreciate that they also provide dual diagnosis treatment to help you work through any underlying mental health issues you might be experiencing along with your addiction, like anxiety or depression. If you need more help than they can provide at their office, they’ll connect you with local community wide resources within their network.
Another helpful service they offer is their safe medication disposal program. You can bring your expired or unused medications to them and they’ll help you get rid of them to prevent accidental misuse or overdose.
