While in jail

King County offers medical and behavioral health services for adults in jail. People in custody have access to many other programs and services as well. Our goal is to support personal, educational, and vocational development opportunities which help prepare individuals for a return to the community. Other activities include religious services, drug and alcohol counseling, recreation, and more. Specific programs are subject to change based on the availability of volunteers and contractors.


After release

The Department of Community and Human Services (DCHS) offers programs, services, and resources to help adults returning to the community after leaving detention. These include:

  • Veteran services
  • Mental and behavioral health
  • Substance Abuse
  • Housing and homelessness
  • Developmental disability supports
  • Legal aid 

DCHS offers Diversion and Reentry Services to help people with behavioral health issues avoid jail and hospital visits. 

Crisis Connections has more information and resources. Call 1-800-621-4636 or 211, or text 211.

The Emerald City Resource Guide, offered through Real Change, provides an extensive list of other community supports and programs that may benefit people who have been recently released from jail.
