History
Valley Mental Health was started in 1994 with six staff and has gradually grown in size and the scope of services offered. We have grown to over twenty-five clinicians. Most of us have been working together for years, cooperating to provide our patients and clients with treatment suited to their specific personal needs.
Business Hours
Most of the clinicians in VMH keep their own schedules, offering a range of hours including evenings and Saturdays. After hours, a qualified professional is always on call to handle emergencies.
New Clients
It is sometimes more convenient to call the main office at 503-589-4046 to check on who is taking new patients, but you should also feel free to call the counselor of your choice to discuss becoming a client.
Prescription Refills
Be sure to call your pharmacy at least four days before you need the refill. Even if you have no refills remaining, it is almost always best to call your pharmacy. If a prescriber’s approval is needed for your prescription to be refilled, your pharmacist will call or fax us.
Schedule II Medications
Federal law requires that certain medications need a new, original prescription written by your prescriber each time the medication is dispensed. It is not possible to have a prescription with refills. If you are requesting refill of a prescription for a schedule II medication, the best procedure is to leave your prescriber a voice mail including your name, the name of the medication, whether it is immediate release or timed release, the strength of the tablets or capsules and how many you take per day. Unless you need to come in for an evaluation, you can expect a call back within a day or two telling you your prescription is ready to pick up.
