Therapeutic Health Services Kent Branch

For people at the stage where sustained recovery — not just initial stabilization — is the goal, an outpatient program offers a structure that meets them where they are. At THS Kent, the outpatient program allows individuals to continue living at home, maintaining family and work commitments, while engaging in regular treatment. That balance is often exactly what people in longer-term recovery need: accountability and clinical support without stepping away from the life they are working to rebuild.

The program runs Monday through Friday, 9:00 AM to 5:30 PM, providing a predictable weekly framework. For those navigating co-occurring disorders — where substance use and mental health conditions like trauma or PTSD are both present — having a consistent outpatient recovery program can be the difference between managing both conditions together and cycling through disconnected care.

Therapeutic Health Services has built its Kent outpatient program around the reality that addiction touches every segment of the community. Veterans facing service-related trauma, young adults at a pivotal life stage, seniors managing late-life substance use challenges, and pregnant women requiring specialized support all have a place in THS's program. Court-ordered individuals and those with HIV/AIDS are also served, as are clients who are deaf or hard of hearing — a population that many treatment programs are not equipped to accommodate.

Language access is another area where THS stands apart. With services available in English, Mandarin Chinese, Korean, and Farsi, the center reflects the actual demographic fabric of King County rather than assuming a one-size approach to substance abuse treatment. Combined with a payment structure that includes Medicaid, sliding scale fees, and state insurance, THS removes some of the most common barriers people face when seeking outpatient rehab in the South Puget Sound region.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is the clinical foundation of THS Kent's outpatient approach. CBT gives people in recovery practical tools to identify and interrupt the thought and behavior patterns connected to substance use — skills that remain useful long after formal treatment ends. For those also managing trauma or PTSD, CBT is one of the most well-documented therapeutic frameworks for addressing both conditions simultaneously within an outpatient setting.

THS's specialization in co-occurring disorders and dual diagnosis reflects an understanding that addiction rarely travels alone. By treating mental health and substance use within the same outpatient program, clients avoid the fragmented experience of seeking care in multiple places. This integrated approach is particularly relevant for veterans and survivors of trauma, two populations THS specifically serves.

Cost should not be a barrier to starting or continuing addiction treatment, and THS Kent supports access through a range of payment options. Medicaid and state insurance are accepted, making the outpatient program available to those who rely on public coverage. Private insurance is also accepted for those with employer-sponsored or marketplace plans, and individuals without insurance can access services through self-pay or a sliding scale fee structure based on ability to pay.

For families and individuals evaluating outpatient rehab options in Kent and the surrounding King County area, the breadth of accepted payment methods means a broader door into recovery. Reaching the THS Kent team directly at (206) 723-1980 is the clearest next step to confirm coverage and schedule an initial appointment.
