Description
Therapeutic Health Services (THS) operates on the belief that chemical dependency and mental illness are chronic, progressive diseases that respond to appropriate intervention, treatment and prevention. By effectively employing all three, individuals and families are better able to lead healthy and productive lives in their communities.
At Therapeutic Health Services (THS), we believe in treatment that deals with the whole person and every aspect of his or her life. Our approach includes mental health and family services, plus a wide range of chemical dependency treatments such as methadone and counseling. Years of working with the diverse community of Puget Sound has taught our staff the value of providing services that are culturally relevant and in line with each individual’s needs.
In our internship program, we create an environment that is supportive and clinically challenging, with continuous instruction, hands-on experience, and weekly supervision with regular multi-disciplinary team consultations. Additional learning is achieved through participation in intern seminars focusing on an array of clinical topics and consultations. Branch staff serve as mentors and models for interns by providing on-site support and feedback as needed. We seek to ensure our internships are given the opportunity to pursue excellent behavioral health careers.
