The mission of Multnomah County Mental Health and Addiction Services Division (MHASD) is to build and maintain high quality, accessible and culturally competent systems of care for children, youth and adults with a mental illness, emotional or addictive disorder. 

Mental Health Services

MHASD provides mental health services to adults, children and families through an extensive system of care that includes outpatient, inpatient, residential treatment and transitional housing.

MHASD serves Oregon Health Plan members enrolled in Verity, the county's mental health organization, as well as people who have no insurance or resources. To receive mental health treatment:
