Residential Programs

Residential services provided by Lane County Mental Health (LCMH) are primarily available for consumers who are actively engaged in treatment with LCMH as a service provider.  In-house residential specialists work closely with the Adult Outpatient clinical staff to assess consumer housing needs and explore placement options.  Residential placement options include adult foster care homes, group homes and crisis respite care. Lane County Mental Health residential specialists serve as gatekeeper for these community resources.

Demand for community housing is high and most residential programs have wait lists.  Method of payment and costs to consumers vary for each living situation.
