What does PSRS mean in REGIONAL

PSRS (Puget Sound Regional Services) is a comprehensive behavioral health network serving the five counties of the Puget Sound region in Washington State: King, Kitsap, Pierce, Snohomish, and Thurston. Its mission is to improve the quality of life for people with mental health, substance use, and developmental disabilities by providing a continuum of care and support services.

PSRS offers a wide range of behavioral health services, including:

• Crisis and emergency services
• Mental health assessment and treatment
• Substance use treatment and recovery services
• Developmental disability services
• Case management and support services
• Housing and employment assistance

PSRS services are available to individuals who are residents of King, Kitsap, Pierce, Snohomish, or Thurston counties and who meet the eligibility criteria for the specific services they are seeking. Eligibility criteria vary depending on the service, but generally include factors such as age, income, and the presence of a mental health, substance use, or developmental disability diagnosis.

There are several ways to access PSRS services:

• Self-referral: Individuals can self-refer to PSRS by calling the Crisis and Assessment Line at 1-800-584-3578 or by visiting the PSRS website at www.psrs.org
• Referral from a healthcare provider: Individuals can be referred to PSRS by their doctor, therapist, or other healthcare provider.
• Crisis response: In a crisis situation, individuals can call 911 or the Crisis and Assessment Line at 1-800-584-3578 to access PSRS crisis services.

PSRS services are provided on a sliding fee scale based on income. This means that individuals pay for services based on their ability to pay. PSRS also accepts Medicaid, Medicare, and most private insurance plans.
