Therapeutic Health Services

Therapeutic Health Services Washington’s leading nonprofit for addiction recovery and mental health care.

Compassionate, affordable treatment—including medication-assisted recovery for opioid use. Therapeutic Health Services (THS) operates on the belief that chemical dependency and mental illness are chronic, progressive diseases that respond to appropriate intervention, treatment, and prevention. By effectively employing all three, individuals and families are better able to lead healthy and producti

ve lives in their communities. At THS, we believe in treatment that addresses the whole person and every aspect of their life. Our approach includes mental health and family services, plus a wide range of chemical dependency treatments such as methadone and counseling. Years of working with the diverse community of Puget Sound have taught our staff the value of providing culturally relevant services that align with each individual’s needs. Our Mission: Fostering Healing & Recovery
Our clients in recovery and those managing their mental illness need more than counseling and medication treatments to function at their greatest capacity. That’s why we offer a complete range of supplemental services, including language and cultural expertise, family and community support, and vocational services. Our Vision: Improved Quality of Life for All
Each year, more people die or become disabled from substance abuse and severe mental illness than from any other preventable cause. In fact, one in four deaths in our country is the result of alcohol, drug, or tobacco abuse. You can imagine the enormous burden this places on everything from family life and public safety to health care. By helping our neighbors overcome alcohol and drug addiction, we help strengthen our entire community.

Too many people put off starting recovery because they're worried about cost.

At THS, we never turn someone away because of their inability to pay. We accept Medicaid/Apple Health and offer a sliding fee scale based on income, along with most private insurance plans.

We've been providing substance use and mental health treatment across King and Snohomish Counties since 1972, growing to 10 locations spread across the region. Whatever's keeping you or someone you love from reaching out, we want to help you find a way past it.

If you've been putting off care because of cost, call us. We'll walk you through what coverage or assistance you might qualify for, no judgment involved.

This month, we mark the anniversary of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), a law that transformed access, inclusion, and dignity for millions of Americans with disabilities.

At THS, our commitment to person-centered, trauma-informed care means working to ensure our services, spaces, and communication are genuinely accessible to every patient who walks through our doors. We know accessibility isn’t a single achievement. It’s an ongoing responsibility we take seriously, all year.

This Disability Pride Month, we’re grateful for the advocates who fought for the ADA, and recommitted to the work still ahead.

Getting help doesn’t mean putting your life on hold.

THS’s outpatient substance use treatment is built for flexibility. There’s no residential stay required, and you don’t need a referral from a doctor to get started. Treatment includes individual counseling, group therapy, and, for those who need more structure, an Intensive Outpatient (IOP) option, all scheduled around your work, school, or family responsibilities.

Our team treats a full range of substance use, including alcohol, stimulants, opioids, and co-occurring mental health conditions. During your first visit, we’ll help figure out the right level of care for where you are right now.

Ready to get started? Call or fill out our Get Help form, no referral necessary.

Access to psychiatric care shouldn’t be the hardest part of getting help.

THS psychiatrists and psychiatric nurse practitioners are now accepting new patients, and no referral is needed to get started. Our team provides comprehensive evaluations and ongoing medication management for conditions like anxiety, depression, ADHD, bipolar disorder, and PTSD, tracking your response and adjusting your plan over time.

What makes care at THS different is our collaborative approach: psychiatry, mental health counseling, and substance use treatment are all offered under one roof, so your providers can coordinate around your whole health, not just one diagnosis.

Appointments are available in-person and via telehealth across King and Snohomish Counties. Contact us to learn more about accepted insurance and sliding-scale options.

Recovery doesn’t have to happen alone. 💜

At THS, our Intensive Outpatient (IOP) and Outpatient (OP) support groups give patients a space to connect with others walking the same path, backed by professional guidance and proven recovery tools.

IOP Groups offer a more intensive level of support for those who need structured care several days a week.

OP Groups offer ongoing support for individuals who need continued care or are stepping down from IOP or another higher level of treatment.

Both are offered at multiple THS locations, in person and virtually, with schedules varying by branch.

These groups are open only to current THS patients, and admission requires a referral from your counselor. If you’re already in treatment with us, talk to your counselor for group days and times at your location.

If you’re not yet a patient and think group support could be part of your recovery, our team can help you get started.

Care should never ask you to leave part of yourself at the door.

For many in BIPOC communities, stigma and a lack of culturally responsive providers make seeking mental health support feel out of reach. This BIPOC Mental Health Month, we want to be clear about how THS approaches care differently.

Every treatment plan starts with the individual, not a generic template. It’s built around your history, your goals, and what recovery actually looks like for you. Our trauma-informed approach recognizes that for many in BIPOC communities, trauma is tied to systemic inequity, not just individual experience, and we work actively to avoid causing further harm. And we’re committed to matching patients with providers who reflect their culture, treating cultural humility as an ongoing practice rather than a box to check.

This work isn’t seasonal. It’s how we show up for our patients every day of the year.

If you or someone you know could use support, our team is ready.

Kelly’s story starts the way too many do. She grew up in a home where drugs were part of daily life, started using methamphetamine as a teenager, and by her twenties was using he**in and committing crimes to pay for it.

Facing significant jail time, Kelly chose Drug Court instead. THS is the main provider of King County’s Adult Drug Court Services, offering intensive treatment, case management, and life skills training for people navigating the legal system alongside addiction. The program is demanding: random drug testing twice a week, individual and group counseling, sober support meetings, community service, and regular check-ins with a judge.

“Everything Drug Court does, they do it for a reason,” Kelly says. “You’ve got to make your whole world and your whole life about recovery. I think Drug Court drives until you’re able to do it yourself.”

Four years sober, Kelly is now a restaurant manager who’s grown into new responsibilities at work. After a full year of saving, she took her daughter on a long-promised trip to Disneyland.

“I’m grateful for that,” she says of what THS gave her. “I think I can take that with me anywhere.”

Methadone is one of the most misunderstood medications in addiction treatment, and misunderstanding it can keep people from getting care that works.

Here’s what’s true: methadone is FDA-approved and has been used safely since the 1960s as part of Medication-Assisted Treatment (MAT). When taken as prescribed, it doesn’t produce the high associated with opioids like he**in or fentanyl. Instead, it stabilizes brain chemistry, reducing withdrawal symptoms and cravings so people can focus on rebuilding their lives.

At THS, methadone is never used as a stand-alone fix. It’s one part of a comprehensive, personalized care plan that includes counseling and ongoing medical support. Treatment isn’t one-size-fits-all: some patients stay on methadone long-term, while others taper gradually under medical supervision. Both are legitimate paths to recovery.

If you or someone you love is ready to start treatment, walk-ins are welcome at our Summit and Eastside Branches, Monday through Friday, 7–8 AM. Please bring photo ID if you have it.

July is Bebe Moore Campbell National Minority Mental Health Awareness Month, named for the author, journalist, and advocate who co-founded NAMI Urban Los Angeles and spent her career working to reduce stigma and expand access to mental health care in underserved communities.

At THS, that mission guides our work all year. We’re committed to matching patients with providers who understand their cultural context, and we build every treatment plan around the individual, not a one-size-fits-all approach.

For many people in BIPOC communities, stigma, language barriers, and a shortage of culturally responsive providers can make seeking care feel out of reach. We’re working to change that, one patient at a time.

If you or someone you know could use support, our team is ready. Fill out our Get Help form and we’ll follow up within 24 business hours.
