About Action Counseling

Operating since 1998, this recovery center offers comprehensive addiction treatment through traditional in-person sessions and modern telehealth options.
Action Counseling operates as a specialized outpatient recovery center in Port Orchard, serving Kitsap County's adolescent population since 1998. Located on West Franklin Street, this addiction treatment facility focuses exclusively on helping young people navigate substance use disorders and co-occurring mental health challenges through structured outpatient programming.
The center's outpatient program addresses both substance abuse addictions and broader mental health needs, recognizing that lasting recovery requires comprehensive care beyond acute treatment phases. Their treatment model supports adolescents through ongoing recovery work, providing the consistent therapeutic support essential for building long-term sobriety skills. The facility incorporates telehealth options alongside traditional face-to-face sessions, ensuring continuity of care that fits into young people's daily routines.
Action Counseling's approach centers on age-appropriate treatment methods tailored to adolescent development and recovery needs.

This specialized focus helps build the foundation skills necessary for sustained recovery as clients transition into adult responsibilities.
Families throughout Port Orchard choose Action Counseling because of its dedicated adolescent focus and established track record in the community. The center accepts multiple insurance plans including Medicaid, major commercial carriers, and offers additional payment assistance for families without coverage. With over 25 years of operation, Action Counseling has developed deep expertise in guiding young people through the critical early stages of their recovery journey.
Adolescent-Focused Outpatient Treatment Programs
Action Counseling's outpatient program specifically serves adolescents dealing with substance use disorders and co-occurring mental health conditions. The center recognizes that teenage addiction requires different therapeutic approaches than adult treatment, focusing on developmental considerations and age-appropriate recovery strategies.
The facility's dual-diagnosis capabilities address both addiction and mental health simultaneously, understanding that many adolescents enter recovery with underlying depression, anxiety, or other psychological challenges. This integrated approach helps build stronger foundations for long-term recovery success.
Telehealth and Flexible Recovery Support
Modern recovery support includes telehealth options that allow adolescents to maintain consistent contact with their treatment team. This flexibility proves especially valuable for ongoing outpatient care, enabling clients to continue recovery work while managing school, family, and other commitments.
The combination of in-person and virtual care options ensures continuity throughout different phases of recovery. Families can access support when transportation becomes challenging or when scheduling conflicts might otherwise interrupt treatment progress.
Insurance Coverage and Payment Options
Action Counseling accepts a comprehensive range of insurance plans, including Apple Health Medicaid, United Healthcare, Premera Blue Cross, Kaiser Foundation Health Plan, and multiple other regional and national carriers. This extensive insurance acceptance ensures that cost doesn't become a barrier to accessing adolescent addiction treatment.
For families without insurance coverage or those needing additional financial assistance, the center offers alternative payment arrangements. Interested families are encouraged to contact the facility directly to explore available options and develop workable payment plans.
