At Yakima Neighborhood Health Services, we believe that behavioral health (mental health and substance abuse) should be integrated into overall health with good communication between behavioral health providers and primary care providers. They share information such as treatment plans and medication lists.

We offer behavioral health services to all patients regardless of ability to pay or health insurance status.

We screen for major depression, post-partum depression, substance abuse and other conditions and refer patients to the appropriate treatment options. In many cases, brief therapy, more often called counseling, is provided in all our clinics by trained professionals.

For patients of Comprehensive Healthcare, we offer primary care on site at the clinic at 402 South 4 Ave. in Yakima.

Locations: Behavioral health services are offered at all Neighborhood Health clinics, Yakima, Sunnyside and Granger.

Do you have a concern about your mental health or the mental health of someone you love? We offer safe, private help from trained professionals. Please call any of our clinic locations for assistance.

"At first, coming to Rod's House I felt very nervous, not knowing anyone or what to expect. After some time, I began to feel more comfortable making healthy relationships with the staff and others.

"I needed education. I'm getting help for that. I needed housing assistance. I'm getting help for that. A lot of my needs are either met by Rod's House or they point me in the right direction."

"Following their suggestions throughout my time at Rod's House, I'm volunteering my time, reading NA literature, and attending daily meetings."

"I always thought family were the people who couldn't push you away, but my family was the one who did push me away. I soon grew tired of gang banging and sleeping on the streets. That's why I come to Rod's House - it's a family of your friends. It taught me that homelessness can teach you many things, but most importantly it can teach you love."

"Through sobriety, I've obtained my license, graduated high school, as well as a treatment program. I am also working on my emotional discontent and assisting others in their road to recovery."

"Rod's House helped me with applying for jobs, emotional support, clothing, shoes, and so much more!"

"If it wasn't for the resources Rod's House provided me in my time of need, I would have no hope of creating or obtaining goals in my life."

"I have gone through a lot and to be able to sit down with the staff and be able to work out a safe plan was the best thing that could have happened. I never had a connection with people who took time out of their day to help me."

"When I first came to Rod's House I was scared, but as soon as I entered that door I felt safe. I felt welcomed and relieved. Rod's House has helped me grow in so many ways."

"I connected with a Case Manager at Rod's House. They helped me look at different career opportunities and guided me through the application process to Yakima Valley College. I can dream of owning my own boutique now thanks to Rod's House."

"Meeting with a Case Manager helped me get a full time job. They helped me learn the necessary skills to ace the interview and get hired on the spot. Now I can support myself, but more importantly I can provide for my two kids and fiancé."
