About ACTS Behavioral Health Services, Tacoma

ACTS Behavioral Health Services is an outpatient substance use treatment program in Lakewood, Washington offering integrated care for substance use and gambling addiction as well as mental health.

I was impressed by their emphasis on culturally informed care tailored to identity and culture with lived experience and multilingual support for diverse and immigrant communities.

Multilingual and Diverse Addiction Treatment

Care often begins with an assessment including substance use disorder, DUI/deferred prosecution, mental health, or problem gambling evaluations.

From there, clients may enter a Level I Outpatient Program or a Level II Intensive Outpatient Program depending on their needs. Clients can expect counseling, integrated behavioral health, and case management.

I found they use evidence-based approaches such as cognitive behavioral therapy and motivational interviewing using the Matrix Model, and trauma-related counseling, with support for co-occurring mental health and substance use disorders.
