Our History
Asian Counseling Treatment Services (ACTS) has established its treatment foundation on February 1, 2003 as a non-profit organization in Kent, Washington. The purpose of the establishment is to educate, prevent, and treat people who have issues and problems with drugs and alcohol abuse and dependency. ACTS has initiated its culturally competent counseling program for recent immigrants with passion, humility, obligation, and even the spirit of brotherhood. Two years later, ACTS opened a new branch office in Lynnwood, Washington. Not long after, in 2009 ACTS decided to move the main office from Kent to Tacoma. In 2015 ACTS received a contract with Pierce County Optum BHO for Substance Use Disorder and Mental Health Outpatient Programs. In 2019 we contracted with Medicaid, WA Apple Health Plans. Our treatment agency has been fully approved by Washington State for the Substance Abuse Treatment, Mental Health, Problem Gambling and Domestic Violence Perpetrator Program. Currently ACTS staff members provide excellent treatment programs in chemical dependency counseling for our Korean, Vietnamese, and English-speaking clients. With our on-going relationship with the community networks, ACTS will continue to provide education and treatment for substance abuse and family issues/problems.
