Availability of Behavioral Health Providers in Rural Areas
This indicator is archived and is no longer being updated. Click to learn more
This indicator focuses specifically on La Pine, Madras, and Redmond. These are the areas with the highest unmet behavioral health provider needs in Central Oregon. Mental health providers include psychiatrists, psychiatric nurse practitioners, marriage and family therapists, psychologists, and clinical social workers.
Why is this important?
Mental health and substance use treatments are ways of providing specialty behavioral health care. Treatments can include counseling services, specialized psychotherapy services, as well as psychiatric medication management services. Medications for substance use and/or mental illness disorders can provide relief for many individuals, however, for most individuals, effective treatment and service approaches involve a combination of counseling and medication. Additionally, research has shown that earlier treatment is better for individuals living with mental health or substance use disorder. Trained professionals provide assessments, evaluations, treatment planning, and counseling services. Yet, no single treatment is standardized and works across all populations. This is why care is individualized (SAMHSA, 2019). Identifying the quantity of mental health and substance abuse service organizations as well as their availability for accepting new clients helps identify the gaps in care for the community.
