About Valley Cities Kent
Known for its diverse landscape, Kent, Washington, is home to Valley Cities Kent. As one of 12 comprehensive outpatient clinics serving the King County area, adults can access addiction and dual diagnosis treatment that includes medication assisted treatment (MAT). Walk-ins are accepted on Mondays. Detox is also available a short drive away at Recovery Place Seattle.
Mobile Clinic
Their mobile clinic really caught my eye. They extend their services to rural King County, offering similar therapeutic interventions you’d find at their brick and mortar locations. You can access comprehensive, person centered harm reduction approaches to start or continue recovery. Screenings, assessments, information, referrals, linkages to MAT, support and advocacy are available.
Supported Employment Services
Another great feature I noticed was their supported employment services. They help you improve other essential life aspects to sustain recovery, such as employment. You’ll benefit from ongoing guidance and support to find and secure a job. They provide job development and placement, vocational counseling, and more to help you create a solid financial foundation.
Trauma Informed Care
I also think their emphasis on trauma informed care is wonderful. Past traumatic experiences can influence addiction and your responsiveness to treatment. You can access a safe and trustworthy environment that accounts for your unique challenges. They integrate these principles into every aspect of their philosophy.
Homeless Service Enhancement
Their housing and homelessness services also really stood out. Of these programs, the homeless service enhancement seems fantastic. You can access housing search and application assistance for homes with private landlords.
Instead of being screened out because of substance abuse, criminal justice involvement or mental health challenges, you get a fair chance at all their services. Case management and rental subsidies are also available to help you secure and maintain a permanent home.
Levels of Care
-
Inpatient
Inpatient and residential programs provide round-the-clock medical and emotional support as you live at the treatment facility. This level of care may be recommended if you have severe addictions or mental health conditions since it removes outside distractions and allows you to focus solely on therapy.
-
Outpatient
In outpatient therapy, you’ll attend therapy sessions several times each week while living at home. This is ideal if you have a strong support system and a lower risk of relapse. Outpatient treatment offers flexibility to maintain work, school or family obligations.

Inpatient detox occurs in a dedicated treatment facility. You’ll live there around the clock and receive intensive medical support and supervision to help manage your withdrawal symptoms. It is suitable for individuals with moderate to severe addictions as it ensures a stable detox environment.
