Compass Health – Child and Family Outpatient Services – South 2nd Street Office provides an intensive outpatient program (IOP) and adult outpatient services. This Mount Vernon, Washington, clinic also offers mobile crisis outreach teams that can come to you in a time of urgent need.
You can self refer using an online form, so there’s no need to get a referral from a doctor and no paperwork. They accept referrals from anyone, and you can fill one out online, too which is super easy. Once you submit the form, a team member will call you to schedule an assessment.
Both of their outpatient programs allow you to live at home without staying in a residential facility. They are both community based, day programs. The difference is simply the level of support and services each offers, as well as the needs of the patients. The intensive outpatient program (IOP) provides a high level of support during treatment, with more frequent groups and therapy. The non intensive outpatient program is made to assist individuals who may not need as much support during their recovery. Patients will likely step down from the IOP to general outpatient care as they grow stronger in their recovery. Included in both programs are group therapy, family therapy and individual therapy.
The center usually serves individuals who have frequent hospitalizations and are frequently in crisis. Staff provide treatment and intervention to help prevent the need for hospital stays. The treatment center provides services for individuals of all ages.
They accept Apple Managed Health Care. They also accept payment plans. If you don’t have insurance you may qualify for a sliding fee scale. This means service fees would be based on income, making care more accessible.
Our Methodology
Private insurance refers to any kind of healthcare coverage that isn't from the state or federal government. This includes individual and family plans offered by an employer or purchased from the Insurance Marketplace. Every plan will have different requirements and out of pocket costs so be sure to get the full details before you start treatment.
Self-pay involves paying for treatment out of your own pocket. You can use savings or credit, get a personal loan, or receive help from family and friends to fund your treatment. If you don't have insurance or your insurance plan doesn't cover a specific program, self-pay can help ensure you still get the care you need.
Medicaid is a state based program that helps lower-income individuals and families pay for healthcare. Medicaid covers addiction treatment so those enrolled can use their coverage to pay for rehab. When a program accepts Medicaid the client often pays very little or nothing out of their own pocket.
Sliding scale payments are based on a client's income and family size. The goal is to make treatment affordable to everyone. By taking these factors into account, addiction recovery care providers help ensure that your treatment does not become a financial burden to you or your family, eliminating one barrier to care.
Medicare is a federal program that provides health insurance for those 65 and older. It also serves people under 65 with chronic and disabling health challenges. To use Medicare for addiction treatment you need to find a program that accepts Medicare and is in network with your plan. Out of pocket costs and preauthorization requirements vary, so always check with your provider.
Outpatient Programs (OP) are for those seeking mental rehab or drug rehab, but who also stay at home every night. The main difference between outpatient treatment (OP) and intensive outpatient treatment (IOP) lies in the amount of hours the patient spends at the facility. Most of the time an outpatient program is designed for someone who has completed an inpatient stay and is looking to continue their growth in recovery. Outpatient is not meant to be the starting point, it is commonly referred to as aftercare.
Mental health rehabs focus on helping individuals recover from mental illnesses like bipolar disorder, clinical depression, anxiety disorders, schizophrenia, and more. Mental health professionals at these facilities are trained to understand and treat mental health issues, both in individual and group settings.
Young adulthood can be an exciting, yet difficult, time of transition. Individuals in their late teens to mid-20s face unique stressors related to school, jobs, families, and social circles, which can lead to a rise in substance use. Rehab centers with dedicated young adult programs will include activities and amenities that cater to this age group, with an emphasis on specialized counseling, peer socialization, and ongoing aftercare.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a therapy modality that focuses on the relationship between one's thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. It is used to establish and allow for healthy responses to thoughts and feelings (instead of unhealthy responses, like using drugs or alcohol). CBT has been proven effective for recovering addicts of all kinds, and is used to strengthen a patient's own self-awareness and ability to self-regulate. CBT allows individuals to monitor their own emotional state, become more adept at communicating with others, and manage stress without needing to engage in substance abuse.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) is a modified form of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), a treatment designed to help people understand and ultimately affect the relationship between their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. DBT is often used for individuals who struggle with self-harm behaviors, such as self-mutilation (cutting) and suicidal thoughts, urges, or attempts. It has been proven clinically effective for those who struggle with out-of-control emotions and mental health illnesses like Borderline Personality Disorder.
Research clearly demonstrates that recovery is far more successful and sustainable when loved ones like family members participate in rehab and substance abuse treatment. Genetic factors may be at play when it comes to drug and alcohol addiction, as well as mental health issues. Family dynamics often play a critical role in addiction triggers, and if properly educated, family members can be a strong source of support when it comes to rehabilitation.
Group therapy is any therapeutic work that happens in a group (not one-on-one). There are a number of different group therapy modalities, including support groups, experiential therapy, psycho-education, and more. Group therapy involves treatment as well as processing interaction between group members.
In individual therapy, a patient meets one-on-one with a trained psychologist or counselor. Therapy is a pivotal part of effective substance abuse treatment, as it often covers root causes of addiction, including challenges faced by the patient in their social, family, and work/school life.
Trauma therapy addresses traumatic incidents from a client's past that are likely affecting their present-day experience. Trauma is often one of the primary triggers and potential causes of addiction, and can stem from child sexual abuse, domestic violence, having a parent with a mental illness, losing one or both parents at a young age, teenage or adult sexual assault, or any number of other factors. The purpose of trauma therapy is to allow a patient to process trauma and move through and past it, with the help of trained and compassionate mental health professionals.

Not a healthy atmosphere I think. You are treated as if you had the plague. Note that I came here for help but instead was treated very poorly. These people don't focus enough on the attention that goes in ensuring patients are also improving their mental health
Avoid this company at all costs. Horrible horrible company. The designated crisis responders have lied through their teeth about me and take my rights away. If I was able to sue them for slander I would. If I could give zero stars I would.
The counselours here made my trust issues and my life way worse than it even was before, now that i have a counselor that's decent who has actually helped, I am just now starting to trust getting help in this kind of setting again (6 years later!!!!! That's how long it took for me to even think about seeing a counselor again after coming here) DO NOT come here, ever. They will leave you with more issues than when you came in. I can't even explain everything that happened and what they did to me, just take my word for it, please.
The receptionists are very kind ladies, no doubt. However, I recently quit seeing my therapist because I wasn't getting the help I needed, after seeing him for four years. Therefore, I am changing my rating. Over the course of four years, I requested to be put on a housing list, I requested help getting a disability job, I requested my support animals be re-registered, I requested in-home assistance, I even made the incredibly simple request of joining Compass's art group, so I could meet new people while doing something I enjoy. The only request he was able to follow through on was getting me on antidepressants, and putting me in an anger management group that I struggled to get to because it meant I had to wake up 3 hours earlier than normal just to get on the bus. Over these four years, I was told multiple times that I, a severely depressed aspie with diagnosed severe anxiety, had to do things like a normal adult. I have autism. I was told to make phone calls to big important companies by myself, because "I can get you the numbers, but it's not my job to do it for you". In the last year or so of seeing him, I was told REPEATEDLY that my online friends either weren't real or didn't matter (mind you, these are my only friends because I'm autistic with diagnosed severe anxiety and depression, so in-person socialization is exceptionally draining and bad for my stress levels.), and that "at the end of the day, when you shut off the internet, these people aren't there, you're completely alone. During the appointment before my last, my therapist literally told me I "was right to be paranoid" that my SO in Illinois could be cheating on me, and "for all anyone knows", she's seeing a dozen other people behind my back, and all my friends are lying to me (even the man I've known for 14 years). This was after I told him I didn't appreciate him demeaning the only relationships I've been able to make in the past 12 years, and making me feel more insignificant and insecure about my long-distance relationship. He spent a year asking me the same question about my depression, even after I told him I hadn't felt suicidal in years, and hadn't had any urges to self-harm since taking the meds he gave me. The rest of the hour with him would also usually be spent talking about "what depression looks like" to me. He got the same answers every time, and would always end the session with "Alright, and next time we'll talk about something else". He didn't care about anything other than my depression, even though we were there to help with my autism and anxiety. If I told him something he did or said made me upset or uncomfortable (such as roleplaying stressful interactions), he pushed me and kept doing it. The fact he could never remember my name should have been a huge red flag. What's been bugging me the most, and the main reason I'm rewriting my review is what happened on the day I told him I was leaving. He asked me, and I quote, "Do you feel like we accomplished anything here, or did you just enjoy coming in and lying to me every other week?". You, sir, are an example of why all my friends are "virtual". What you said both about myself, and my girlfriend have been burned into my memory, and I will never forget how worthless you made me feel. I sincerely wish I had the confidence to quit ages ago.
