The staff is the most annoying and most unethical people on the planet. They make you waste your time and theirs in one useless call that will not help you at all. They judge you and makes you feel terrible!!! Don't recommend it!
About CCS—Pendleton
Community Counseling Services took over the substance use disorder treatment programs from Lifeways in 2021. This includes the location at Pendleton, Oregon. The facility still features many of the same services, including outpatient care and medication-assisted treatment (MAT) via buprenorphine.
Community Counseling also assists those who have gambling disorders or have thoughts about suicide. Services are also available in Spanish.
Deflection, Not Incarceration
One program that really impressed me is the deflection program. First responders and police officers assist in interventions and help enroll substance users in programs rather than them. This way, these individuals do not face charges and might have an easier time finding work and getting by in their communities.
The Behavioral Health Resource Network
Community Counseling Services is also part of the Behavioral Health Resource Network. This community engagement program promotes harm reduction methods and connects enrollees to housing and other social programs. They can assist with employment and aftercare for graduates to smoothly re-integrate into their neighborhoods.
They’re also proactive in helping kids and other at-risk community members from slipping through the cracks. This can include education and awareness initiatives to help people understand how the environment shapes their actions and behavior.
Pendleton Attractions
Speaking of environments, being outdoors or in the surrounding metropolis can really enhance your recovery. Get to know the community through shared cultural spaces like the Heritage Station Museum or unwind near the Umatilla River that snakes through the city. There are plenty of parks and shopping centers nearby as well.

For those of you looking for emotional support animals, CCS doesn't provide help with that. This community wants ESAs but despite being a couseling center for mental disorders, they do not help with paperwork. CCS was so highly recommended for Umatilla County after they took over Lifeways, but they barely provide any service that's meant to actually be worth your time. At least Lifeways had the policies to help with ESAs.
Without sharing details, it’s not my story to tell, I cannot say enough good about CCS in Pendleton and what they have done for our family and our loved one. They gave hope when there was none. They went above and beyond. Thank you Leeann, Chris and to Ryan, you’ve been this mamas lifeline. With all of our gratitude, The Amsberrys.
all these people do is live off some kind of sick power trip. never returned my voicemail, my fiance went in asking if they had any resources and the 3 women in there on Tuesday, March 28th don't deserve a job in a counseling facility. Rolling eyes, horrible service. "mhm mhm yeah we don't know anything"

Accepted Insurance
Other Forms of Payment
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.
Financial aid can take many forms. Centers may have grants or scholarships available to clients who meet eligibility requirements. Programs that receive SAMHSA grants may have financial aid available for those who need treatment as well. Grants and scholarships can help you pai for treatment without having to repay.
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.
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.
Military members, veterans, and eligible dependents have access to specific insurance programs that help them get the care they need. TRICARE and VA insurance can help you access low cost or no cost addiction and mental health treatment. Programs that accept military insurance often have targeted treatment focused on the unique challenges military members, veterans, and their families face.
Addiction Treatments
Levels of Care
Outpatient
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.
Treatments
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.
Programs
Adult Program
Adult rehab programs include therapies tailored to each client's specific needs, goals, and recovery progress. They are tailored to the specific challenges adult clients may face, including family and work pressures and commitments. From inpatient and residential treatment to various levels of outpatient services, there are many options available. Some facilities also help adults work through co-occurring conditions, like anxiety, that can accompany addiction.
Young Adult Program
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.
Clinical Services
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.
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.
Viewed as a method of communication rather than an intervention, motivational interviewing is an evidence based approach to rehab treatment in Oregon. The principles of this method have a common sense appeal and are readily applied to many therapeutic programs. Core strategies include acceptance, listening, and summarizing.
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.
Whether a marriage or other committed relationship, an intimate partnership is one of the most important aspects of a person's life. Drug and alcohol addiction affects both members of a couple in deep and meaningful ways, as does rehab and recovery. Couples therapy and other couples-focused treatment programs are significant parts of exploring triggers of addiction, as well as learning how to build healthy patterns to support ongoing sobriety.
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.
