Who is eligible for these services?

  • Patients who are receiving DSHS/DBHR-funded chemical dependency treatment are eligible for interpreter services. 
  • Parents of minors receiving DBHR- funded services, when the treatment plan requires them to be present.
  • People who attend DBHR-funded or sponsored events, such as statewide conferences and public meetings.

The Division of Behavioral Health and Recovery (DBHR) pays for interpreter services for patients participating in DBHR-funded treatment services provided on-site at a certified treatment facility.  DBHR also pays for interpreter services for people who attend DBHR-funded or sponsored events, such as major statewide conferences and public meetings.
