Oregon Health Plan and Medicare are accepted for both mental health and substance abuse treatment services. Mental health and substance abuse treatment services are also available for those without insurance.
Commercial insurance is accepted for youth substance abuse treatment only. Commercial insurance benefit plans should always be investigated before deciding on the place of service. Many plans will only pay the maximum benefit for services received from a preferred provider. Many health insurance plans also require preauthorization for services.
Fees are calculated using the household income and the size of the family as determined by the annual federal poverty guidelines.
Visa, MasterCard, debit cards, personal checks, and cash are accepted.

If You Call, Please Let Us Know How it Went:
Were You Able to Make an Appointment?
One quick last question. Who was seeking counseling today?
Do you know the reason they are not accepting clients?
Qualifying for assistance from Oregon's program usually depends on the severity of your condition and financial circumstance. Read our full guide to Oregon's program.
A community counseling agency is a group therapy practice that offers affordable mental health services. Most are independent non-profit agencies, state agencies, or publicly-funded agencies. A few may restrict who is eligible for services, so it is a good idea to check when you call.
Community counseling agencies are generally more affordable than other therapy providers, but how much more affordable they are will depend on whether you qualify for a discount or sliding scale fee (or if they accept your insurance). Many, but not all, have a policy that they won't turn away anyone due to inability to pay. You should ask about their fees when you first call.
Expect to talk to kind people who want to help you find the care you need. Most community agencies strive to connect you with a live person within 24 hours, if not immediately. If you're asked to hold or leave a message, don't give up; just leave a message and wait. You should hear back pretty quickly.
Most agencies try to set up an initial assessment appointment within a week (some do within 24 hours), though the waitlist to start therapy is usually longer—about a few weeks on average. If you're not eligible or if the agency is not right for you, it's usually still worth it to call or drop in, because staff are knowledgeable about local options and can often refer you to one.
