Community Mental Health Treatment

The King County Mental Health Plan (KCMHP) provides community mental health treatment, also known as outpatient services, to people who qualify for Medicaid. Depending on circumstances and funding, the KCMHP also has limited funding to provide mental health care for people who do not have Medicaid. Services are provided through licensed community mental health centers. Mental health services are available based on needs that are mutually determined between the individual receiving services and his or her mental health provider. Individuals can choose from a variety of different services and work with different service providers to set personal goals and achieve their full potential.
