Find an Evaluator or Treatment Provider
WHPS allows health professionals to obtain substance use disorder and mental health evaluations from any Washington State certified service. The Department of Health maintains a directory of all state certified services.
In addition, WHPS will accept evaluations from qualified practitioners, for example psychiatrists, psychologists, and advanced nurse practitioners.
Obtain approval from your case manager before getting an evaluation. Evaluations from unapproved evaluators may not be accepted.
