What is The Olalla Center?

We are a nonprofit psychiatric day treatment program that has contracted with the State of Oregon since 1978. Psychiatric Day Treatment combines several well known and helpful services which are all overseen by two doctors who specialize in unusual situations.

Where can you go?

When your young child exhibits unusual, aggressive and problematic behavior? What can you do when you've tried everything? Who can you ask when your family doctor isn't sure or the local school says the problem is beyond their services.

The Olalla Center of Toledo, Oregon has been dealing with these kinds of problems for 30 years. One parent said "you're the best kept secret in Lincoln County." And it certainly is true that some people in our own community know nothing about us. But to parents, teachers and doctors who regularly use the Olalla Center we are known as a place where people work hard to find the combination of medical, educational and psychological strategies that help families. One parent who had used our services for three years asked: "why aren't there more places like this?" You can find the answer to this question in our "history."
