<p><strong>ABOUT TULARE COUNTY HEALTH & HUMAN SERVICES AGENCY- VISALIA, CA</strong></p> <p>Tulare County Health & Human Services Agency (HHSA) offers <strong>outpatient treatment</strong> to adults and <a href="https://www.recovery.org/pro/articles/is-my-child-just-experimenting/" target="_blank">adolescents</a> struggling with mental illness. The agency also offers <strong>coordinated treatment for co-occurring substance use disorder (SUD)</strong> via its Alcohol & Other Drug Prevention (AOD) program. Its clinic in Visalia, which is about 43 miles south of Fresno, works with community-based providers to make services available throughout the area. It's <a href="https://wwwdasis.samhsa.gov/webt/state_data/CA16.pdf" target="_blank">one of just 117</a> (about 8%) county-run substance abuse treatment facilities in California. </p> <p><strong>TREATMENT & ASSESSMENT</strong></p> <p>HHSA's clinic offers an array of mental health treatment services, including <strong>psychiatric evaluation</strong> and consultation, medication support, and <strong>crisis emergency assistance</strong>, along with one-on-one counseling, group therapy, family counseling, and health care referrals.</p> <p>Referrals to inpatient or outpatient SUD programs can be made via the AOD program, which also provides <strong>addiction education</strong>, family interventions, and outreach services to pregnant women and mothers in recovery. There's also a <strong>drug court program for adults</strong>, which helps clients charged with minor drug offenses to enroll in a treatment program as a sentencing alternative.</p> <p>In addition, the county has two large vehicles that serve as <strong>mobile clinics</strong> to bring care to the rural population. The mobile clinics provide easier access to therapy, education, peer support, medication assistance, and health screenings. </p> <p><strong>STAFF CREDENTIALS</strong></p> <p>Although there is no information available regarding staff credentials, nearly <a href="https://www.samhsa.gov/data/sites/default/files/report_3059/ShortReport-3059.pdf" target="_blank">all substance abuse treatment facilities in California</a> have continuing education requirements for staff. Patricia, the one alumni surveyed by Rehabs.com to date, gave HHSA staff five out of five stars for their experience and training.

Heartless individuals sitting behind a desk waiting for the money to arrive to their hands. Absolutely no consideration for the hard working class."</p> <p><strong>FINANCING</strong></p> <p>There is currently no information provided by the facility regarding its costs, however according to its website, Tulare County is able to link residents with assistance to cover medical services and other benefits for those who qualify.
