LCBHS has contracted with RCS, Inc. in the past and has confidence that they will be able to provide quality services in a meaningful and fiscally efficient manner.  The services provided at the Tule House are unique in that this is the only facility providing these services within the county.  As it is the best interest of clients to refer them to services that are provided within the county.
