Mission Statement

The mission of the Nevada County Behavioral Health Department is to provide high quality, culturally competent mental health and substance abuse treatment services to Nevada County Residents.

Overview

Behavioral Health offers community mental health services and alcohol and drug treatment services in partnership with organizations, individual providers, and other county agencies.  Our integrated system offers a broad range of services. The County clinics provide services including medication services, case management and psychotherapy for those with serious mental illness.  Contracted organizations also provide intensive supportive services, including Assertive Community Treatment, and Crisis Services which are offered 24 hours per day.  A network of community based psychotherapists are available to provide treatment throughout Nevada County.

To find out about our services or other mental health services in the community call us at (530) 265-1437 or 1-888-801-1437, Truckee residents call (530) 582-7803 and ask for intake.
