Mental Health Services for Adults

Our mental health programs serve seriously ill adults age 18 and older throughout Sonoma County. Services are provided by County staff, community health centers, and a network of contracted staff:

• Community-based Services
• Forensic Services
• Transitional Recovery Services
• Supportive Services

Our Access Team is the first contact to request mental health services, and can be reached at (707) 565-6900.

We provide services to adults with serious and persistent mental illness and co-occurring substance use disorders, who currently do not receive comprehensive services.

We provide these services to people with severe and persistent mental illness:

• Assessment

Our multidisciplinary teams provide the services:

• Older Adult Team - for adults ages 60 and older
• Community Mental Health Centers - regionally-based outpatient specialty mental health services

Our Full Service Partnerships (FSPs) are multidisciplinary teams that provide intensive field-based specialty mental health services targeted at specific populations with a service commitment of doing “whatever it takes":

• Transition Age Youth Team - for adults ages 18-25
• Integrated Recovery Team - for adults who have co-occurring substance use and mental health disorders
• Older Adult Intensive Team - for older adults who are at risk of being placed out of their home

Assertive Community Treatment is contracted through Telecare Sonoma ACT and provides intensive specialty mental health services similar to a full service partnership, targeting mental health clients with serious mental illness who are at risk for placement at an extended care facility.
