KC Services began in 1975 as the vision of an immigrant church in Los Angeles to provide social services and community outreach. Over the next three decades KC Services' focus widened as the agency began to service the general population with behavioral health services, as well as expanding locations to Orange County.
Today, KC Services continues to offer comprehensive substance abuse and family violence treatment programs to the linguistically and culturally underserved populations of Los Angeles and Orange County.
DRUG MEDI-CAL - One of our newest programs, Drug Medi-Cal Counseling, is a volunteer program that serves Medi-Cal eligible individuals. Clients receive professional medical assessments, treatment planning, group and individual counseling, community referrals, and case management to help patients achieve not only recovery from drug and alcohol abuse, but also to improve their overall quality of life. Involvement in the Drug Med-Cal Program is completely voluntarily so the client's commitment to participate in the services provided by the Drug Medi-Cal program is necessary for successful recovery.

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?
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.
