Behavioral health services include crisis services, mental health treatment, substance use treatment, plus programs to help people with behavioral health challenges avoid jail and hospital visits or successfully reenter community after a crisis. Our services cover King County residents who are Medicaid eligible and meet certain medical eligibility requirements. We also provide services for low-income, non-Medicaid eligible residents.
