About Consejo Counseling and Referral Servs
Consejo Counseling and Referral Services in Renton, WA offers outpatient and intensive outpatient addiction treatment for a wide range of people, including adolescents, seniors, and court-ordered individuals. Accredited by the Joint Commission, the center uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to address substance use alongside co-occurring conditions like trauma and PTSD.
Consejo Counseling and Referral Services is a Joint Commission-accredited substance use treatment center located at 723 SW 10th Street in Renton, Washington, serving King County. Rather than positioning itself as a crisis-only resource, Consejo functions as a sustained recovery partner — offering structured outpatient care designed to fit into the daily lives of people committed to long-term sobriety. The center's outpatient model makes it particularly accessible for individuals balancing work, family, and recovery at the same time.
Consejo provides two primary levels of outpatient addiction treatment: a standard Outpatient Program and an Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP). The IOP offers a higher frequency of clinical contact for those who need more structured support without residential placement, making it a strong option for people stepping down from a higher level of care or those who need a more rigorous schedule than traditional outpatient allows. Both tracks are built around ongoing engagement with the recovery process rather than a single acute episode of care.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) anchors the clinical work at Consejo. CBT is particularly well-suited to the outpatient setting because it equips people with practical skills they can apply between sessions — identifying thought patterns, managing triggers, and building coping strategies that support sustained recovery. The center also treats co-occurring disorders and trauma or PTSD alongside substance use, recognizing that lasting recovery often requires addressing the full picture of a person's mental health.
Consejo serves a notably broad population: adolescents, young adults, men, women, seniors, individuals who are Deaf or hard of hearing, and those who are court-ordered into treatment. This breadth reflects a commitment to meeting people where they are, regardless of age, circumstance, or background. Payment is accepted through Medicaid, private insurance, and self-pay, lowering financial barriers for people across income levels. The center is open Monday through Friday, 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM.
Outpatient and Intensive Outpatient Treatment for Long-Term Recovery
Consejo Counseling and Referral Services offers both an Outpatient Program and an Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP) for people in Renton, WA who are pursuing lasting recovery from substance use. These two levels of care allow clinicians to match the intensity of treatment to where each person actually is in their recovery — not a one-size approach, but a framework that can scale up or down based on need.
The IOP is especially relevant for people who are transitioning out of a residential or inpatient setting and need continued structure before moving to standard outpatient care. It's also a strong starting point for individuals whose substance use and life circumstances require more clinical contact than a weekly session provides, while still allowing them to live at home and maintain daily responsibilities.
Treating Co-Occurring Disorders and Trauma Alongside Substance Use
Consejo's clinical work goes beyond substance use in isolation. The center treats co-occurring disorders — meaning mental health conditions that exist alongside addiction — as well as trauma and PTSD. For many people in recovery, unaddressed trauma or a co-occurring condition is what makes sustained sobriety so difficult. Treating both simultaneously is not a bonus feature; it's a clinical necessity.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) provides the framework for this integrated work. CBT helps clients examine the connection between their thoughts, emotions, and behaviors — building the kind of practical self-awareness that supports recovery between sessions and long after formal treatment ends. This approach is well-matched to the outpatient format, where clients apply what they learn in real-world settings day by day.
Who Consejo Serves: A Recovery Community With Broad Reach
Few outpatient programs in the Renton area serve as wide a population as Consejo. The center provides substance use treatment for adolescents, young adults ages 18 to 25, adults, and seniors — across genders and across circumstances. People who are court-ordered into treatment and those who are Deaf or hard of hearing are also among the populations the center explicitly serves.
This breadth matters for families navigating recovery together. When a program can work with a teenager and a parent, or with someone entering voluntarily and someone court-mandated, it reduces the number of separate systems a family has to navigate. Consejo accepts Medicaid, private insurance, and self-pay, which further opens the door for people at different financial starting points.

Frequently Asked Questions
What levels of care does Consejo Counseling offer for addiction treatment?
Consejo offers two levels of outpatient addiction treatment: a standard Outpatient Program and an Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP). The IOP provides more frequent clinical contact and is suited to people who need greater structure without entering a residential program. Both are available at the Renton, WA location.
Does Consejo treat mental health conditions alongside substance use?
Yes. Consejo treats co-occurring disorders and dual diagnosis conditions, as well as trauma and PTSD, in combination with substance use treatment. Addressing these conditions together is part of how the center supports people in building durable, long-term recovery rather than treating addiction in isolation.
What therapy approach does Consejo use in its outpatient programs?
Consejo uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) as its confirmed therapeutic method. CBT helps clients identify and shift thought patterns that contribute to substance use, and develop coping skills that carry over into everyday life between sessions — making it especially practical for outpatient recovery.
Who is eligible for treatment at Consejo Counseling?
Consejo serves a wide range of people, including adolescents, young adults (18–25), men, women, seniors, individuals who are Deaf or hard of hearing, and those who are court-ordered into treatment. This broad eligibility makes Consejo a practical option for families navigating different circumstances under one roof.
Does Consejo accept Medicaid for substance use treatment?
Yes, Consejo accepts Medicaid as a form of payment. The center also accepts private insurance and self-pay, giving people at different financial starting points a realistic path into outpatient addiction treatment.
Is Consejo Counseling accredited?
Consejo holds accreditation from the Joint Commission (JCAHO), which is one of the most widely recognized accrediting bodies in behavioral health care. JCAHO accreditation reflects an independent review of the center's clinical quality and operational standards.
What is the difference between the Outpatient Program and the Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP) at Consejo?
Both programs allow clients to live at home while receiving treatment, but the IOP involves a more intensive schedule of clinical sessions.

Your intake assessment at Consejo would help determine which level is the right match.
Is Consejo Counseling a good option for someone transitioning out of residential or inpatient treatment?
Consejo's Intensive Outpatient Program can serve as a structured step-down level of care for people who have completed a higher level of treatment and are ready to reintegrate into daily life while maintaining clinical support.
