About THS – Therapeutic Health Services – Seneca Branch – Seattle
Since 1972, THS – Therapeutic Health Services has been offering mental health and substance use treatment in Seattle, Washington. CARF accredited, they’re the largest nonprofit provider of medication assisted treatment (MAT) in the region. They accept Medicaid, Medicare, TRICARE and AppleHealth, and they take walk ins. They’re also LGBTQ+ inclusive.
The Seneca location offers MAT with methadone and Suboxone, adult outpatient and intensive outpatient treatment services, mental health services and various programs to combat drug and alcohol issues. They have a dedicated veteran’s outreach program, in which Veteran’s Outreach Specialists connect veterans to earned benefits such as behavioral health services through the VA or at their own facility. The Pregnant and Parenting program helps mothers and families move beyond substance use challenges. They also offer primary care, prevention and education programs, DUI programs and drug court.
The King County Drug Court has been working directly with the courts to break the cycle of substance use and criminality since its establishment in 1994. Eligible defendants can opt to receive drug treatment rather than going to trial.
Addressing the many issues that contribute to relapse, the program takes up to two years to complete. It involves elements such as case management, life skills training, education services, social activities and community reintegration. There are random drug tests twice a week and weekly meetings with both counselors and social support groups. Community service is also part of the program, and participants must be either employed or in school in order to graduate.
