Don't even get me started this place. I sure hope everyone has far better experiences then the way this place has provided "counseling" and ultimately crisis services to my friend. All his psychotic episodes have been allowed to worsen and land himself in jail, except once, in 10 years. Even Bremerton's Chief of Police wrote me in 2023 that it is they, the police, that are doing all the crisis response. And if you're lucky enough to get an evaluation from a DCR, be sure to google "DCR PROTOCOLS" and carefully read what these evaluations SHOULD encompass. The quality is severely lacking, and I've read numerous of them.

I found this facility horrifying and repugnant. If you are from out of state don t even bother. Staff made it clear they are not interested in offering any help. Regardless of its necessity. Attempting to check in was convoluted at best, maliciously confusing at worst. The staff didn t seem to understand their own check in process. We were sent from building to building without any regard for our wellbeing or their own process and professionalism. Russel in particular made it clear he was only interested in getting us out of the lobby as quickly as possible. He discussed sensitive information in the waiting room making us severely uncomfortable. He made no effort to confirm my referral to this facility. He continued to bulldoze over anything we said. I am appalled someone so callous works in this industry. It wasn t easy to admit that I needed this level of help and being made to feel like I couldn t be seen or helped at this facility was very frustrating and honestly hurtful to me. I don t normally leave reviews but I can not in good faith leave this experience unmentioned. It is really sad and unfortunate to me that mental health professionals could be so careless to someone actively seeking help. I truly hope they don t have to experience this level of carelessness if they ever require such help.

Accepted Insurance

Kitsap Mental Health Services works with several private insurance providers and also accepts private payments when possible, please contact to verify your specific insurance provider.

Other Forms of Payment

Medicaid is a state based program that helps lower-income individuals and families pay for healthcare. Medicaid covers addiction treatment so those enrolled can use their coverage to pay for rehab. When a program accepts Medicaid the client often pays very little or nothing out of their own pocket.

Self-pay involves paying for treatment out of your own pocket. You can use savings or credit, get a personal loan, or receive help from family and friends to fund your treatment. If you don't have insurance or your insurance plan doesn't cover a specific program, self-pay can help ensure you still get the care you need.

Financial aid can take many forms. Centers may have grants or scholarships available to clients who meet eligibility requirements. Programs that receive SAMHSA grants may have financial aid available for those who need treatment as well. Grants and scholarships can help you pai for treatment without having to repay.

Sliding scale payments are based on a client's income and family size. The goal is to make treatment affordable to everyone. By taking these factors into account, addiction recovery care providers help ensure that your treatment does not become a financial burden to you or your family, eliminating one barrier to care.

Addiction Treatments

Levels of Care

outpatient iconOutpatient
Outpatient Programs (OP) are for those seeking mental rehab or drug rehab, but who also stay at home every night. The main difference between outpatient treatment (OP) and intensive outpatient treatment (IOP) lies in the amount of hours the patient spends at the facility. Most of the time an outpatient program is designed for someone who has completed an inpatient stay and is looking to continue their growth in recovery. Outpatient is not meant to be the starting point, it is commonly referred to as aftercare.
medically-assisted-detox iconMedically Assisted Detox
Drug and alcohol addiction often takes a heavy toll on one's body. Over time, a physical dependence can develop, meaning the body physiologically needs the substance to function. Detox is the process of removing drugs and/or alcohol from the body, a process that can be lethal if mismanaged. Medical detox is done by licensed medical professionals who monitor vital signs and keep you safe, healthy, and as comfortable as possible as you go through detox and withdrawal.
intensive-outpatient iconIntensive Outpatient
Intensive Outpatient Programs (IOP) are for those who want or need a very structured treatment program but who also wish to live at home and continue with certain responsibilities (such as work or school). IOP substance abuse treatment programs vary in duration and intensity, and certain outpatient rehab centers will offer individualized treatment programs.

Treatments

The goal of treatment for alcoholism is abstinence. Those with poor social support, poor motivation, or psychiatric disorders tend to relapse within a few years of treatment. For these people, success is measured by longer periods of abstinence, reduced use of alcohol, better health, and improved social functioning. Recovery and Maintenance are usually based on 12 step programs and AA meetings.

Effective drug rehab in Washington integrates care for the whole person, offering comprehensive solutions to addiction. Treatment methods address mental, physical, and relational aspects of substance abuse.

Many of those suffering from addiction also suffer from mental or emotional illnesses like schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, depression, or anxiety disorders. Rehab and other substance abuse facilities treating those with a dual diagnosis or co-occurring disorder administer psychiatric treatment to address the person's mental health issue in addition to drug and alcohol rehabilitation.

A combined mental health and substance abuse rehab has the staff and resources available to handle individuals with both mental health and substance abuse issues. It can be challenging to determine where a specific symptom stems from (a mental health issue or an issue related to substance abuse), so mental health and substance abuse professionals are helpful in detangling symptoms and keeping treatment on track.

Opioid rehabs specialize in supporting those recovering from opioid addiction. They treat those suffering from addiction to illegal opioids like heroin, as well as prescription drugs like oxycodone. These centers typically combine both physical as well as mental and emotional support to help stop addiction. Physical support often includes medical detox and subsequent medical support (including medication), and mental support includes in-depth therapy to address the underlying causes of addiction.

Programs

adult-program thumbnail image
Adult Program
Adult rehab programs include therapies tailored to each client's specific needs, goals, and recovery progress. They are tailored to the specific challenges adult clients may face, including family and work pressures and commitments. From inpatient and residential treatment to various levels of outpatient services, there are many options available. Some facilities also help adults work through co-occurring conditions, like anxiety, that can accompany addiction.

Clinical Services

Group therapy is any therapeutic work that happens in a group (not one-on-one). There are a number of different group therapy modalities, including support groups, experiential therapy, psycho-education, and more. Group therapy involves treatment as well as processing interaction between group members.

Trauma therapy addresses traumatic incidents from a client's past that are likely affecting their present-day experience. Trauma is often one of the primary triggers and potential causes of addiction, and can stem from child sexual abuse, domestic violence, having a parent with a mental illness, losing one or both parents at a young age, teenage or adult sexual assault, or any number of other factors. The purpose of trauma therapy is to allow a patient to process trauma and move through and past it, with the help of trained and compassionate mental health professionals.

My experience with KMH, is : I was disrespected, disserved, and ignored . KMH really sucks . They're trying to not help you at all. F KMH, and all of its worthless employees. They're lucky I'm not their supervisor. Wish I could rate them lower than one star, but it did say hated it . After all that occured, they try to demand you do things , such as, go here , go there , when they aren't doing anything for you , at all. Makes me angry thinking about it . Oh funk you, KMH . What do you do?

This facility is not safe for people with dietary allergies. Multiple times i was served food that I was allergic to and if I was really trying to kill myself I could have easily.The staff refuses to let patients look at the ingredients in their food. Their gluten-free options are not actually gluten-free and they kept serving their gluten free options alongside gluten.They do not take allergens seriously, and I would seriously not recommend going to this place or sending someone here if they have allergies or other health issues.This place is not safe for people who can t advocate for themselves about their allergens. Do not send your loved ones here if you actually want them to get better.

KMH is really not very serious about what they do. I understand the economics around mental health care in the US but � would really encourage anyone considering KMH to pursue all other options first.

I stayed at the YIU a couple times when I was 13 and 15 years old. I am 20 years old and keep thinking about how much medication they put me on. I was diagnosed with anxiety and depression and was prescribed 14 different medications including lithium. I was taking 20+ pills a day as a adolescent going through bipolar ( which I was diagnosed at 17 with). I was never able to keep up with those pills and stopped taking them many times which didn t help anything. No CHILD should be taking more than a pill for mental illness. Honestly there s so many more alternatives then just pills. DBT skills are a god send. The peer Councilors were pretty awesome at the time and I did feel safe.

You can't make appointments for intakes, which take several hours, so you have to take an entire day off of work to wait hours and likely not be seen. I've come back on three different days to get evaluated and been asked to come back 5 hours later to finish an evaluation. How is someone supposed to get care this way, especially folks who are trying to get/stay employed or don't have transportation? It's almost like they're trying to deter people from using their services. I get it. The healthcare system is bogged down, but this is just awful
