About Community Counseling Solutions
Community Counseling Solutions in Arlington, Oregon offers outpatient substance abuse treatment for a wide range of people, including adolescents, veterans, and adults managing co-occurring disorders. Accredited by both COA and NCQA, the program uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to support lasting recovery in a community-based setting.
Community Counseling Solutions is an outpatient substance use treatment program located at 120 Arlington Mall in Arlington, Oregon. Serving Gilliam County and operating Monday through Friday, 8 a.m. to 5 p.m., the center brings structured, professionally accredited addiction treatment to a rural Oregon community where access to ongoing recovery support can be difficult to find. Dual accreditation from the Council on Accreditation (COA) and NCQA sets it apart from many local providers.
The center delivers outpatient program services, the level of care that forms the backbone of long-term recovery for people who are stepping down from a higher level of care or who need structured support while maintaining their daily lives. Outpatient treatment allows clients to stay connected to their families, employment, and local community while actively working on their recovery — a key advantage for those invested in building a sustainable sober life rather than simply completing a short-term program.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is the confirmed clinical foundation of care at Community Counseling Solutions. CBT is a structured, skills-based approach that helps people identify and change the thought patterns driving substance use and related behaviors. The program also addresses trauma and PTSD alongside substance use disorders, and is equipped to treat co-occurring disorders, recognizing that mental health and addiction recovery are often inseparable parts of the same process.
Community Counseling Solutions serves an unusually broad range of populations, including adolescents, young adults (18–25), seniors, men, women, veterans, pregnant women, individuals with HIV/AIDS, those who are deaf or hard of hearing, and court-ordered clients. This breadth reflects a program built to meet people where they are. Financial access is a priority as well — the center accepts Medicaid, Medicare, TRICARE, private insurance, state insurance, self-pay, and offers a sliding scale fee structure, removing common barriers that can prevent people from beginning or continuing their recovery.
Outpatient Recovery Support Rooted in the Community
For people in Arlington and the surrounding Gilliam County area, access to consistent, professionally accredited addiction treatment has historically meant traveling long distances. Community Counseling Solutions addresses that gap directly, offering an outpatient program that brings structured substance abuse treatment into the local community five days a week.
Outpatient programming is often the most practical and sustainable model for people committed to long-term recovery — it allows individuals to maintain family relationships, employment, and community ties while actively engaging in treatment. The center's weekday schedule, running 8 a.m. to 5 p.m., is designed to accommodate the realities of everyday life in a working community.
Treating the Whole Picture: Co-Occurring Disorders and Trauma
Community Counseling Solutions is equipped to address co-occurring disorders — situations where a mental health condition such as depression, anxiety, or PTSD exists alongside a substance use disorder. For many people seeking recovery, unaddressed trauma or mental health challenges are central to why substance use escalated in the first place. Treating both together, rather than in isolation, gives recovery a stronger foundation.
The center's confirmed focus on Trauma and PTSD alongside dual diagnosis treatment reflects an understanding that the recovery journey is rarely just about the substance itself. Using Cognitive Behavioral Therapy as its clinical method, the program helps clients develop concrete skills for managing both the psychological and behavioral dimensions of their experience.
Who Community Counseling Solutions Serves
Few outpatient recovery centers serve as wide a population as Community Counseling Solutions. The program is open to adolescents, young adults between 18 and 25, adults, and seniors — spanning the full arc of life experience. Veterans and active-duty military families can access care through TRICARE, and the center also serves pregnant women, individuals with HIV/AIDS, and those who are deaf or hard of hearing, groups that can face real barriers to finding appropriate addiction treatment.
Court-ordered clients are also accepted, meaning the program supports people entering recovery through the legal system alongside those who have chosen to seek help independently. This mix of pathways into care reflects a program that approaches recovery without judgment about how or why someone arrives at its door.
Accreditation and Payment Options
Community Counseling Solutions holds dual accreditation from the Council on Accreditation (COA) and the National Committee for Quality Assurance (NCQA). These credentials signal that the program meets independently verified standards for quality of care — something that matters when choosing a long-term recovery partner rather than a short-term fix.
The center accepts a wide range of payment options, including Medicaid, Medicare, TRICARE, private insurance, state insurance, and self-pay. A sliding scale fee structure is also available, which can make outpatient treatment accessible for people whose financial situations might otherwise put professional recovery support out of reach. Prospective clients can reach the center directly at (541) 454-2223 or via the website at communitycounselingsolutions.org.
