Detoxification and Addiction Treatment in Whatcom County
Bellingham is in Whatcom County, and the facility is conveniently located near I-5. This is a scenic coastal city with views of the North Cascade mountains and the San Juan Islands.
Residents enjoy coastal parks and trails, waterfront activities and scenic drives. This is a beautiful place to start your sober journey.
The staff welcomes a diverse clientele. Despite being a Catholic organization, they’ll treat anyone, regardless of their religious affiliation, gender, sexual orientation, ethnic background or any other defining trait. Detox is on an outpatient basis, and the program includes comprehensive SUD treatment for clients with co-occurring mental health disorders.
A Holistic Addiction Treatment Approach
Clients include teens (13-17), young adults (18-24), and adults (25-64). Treatment includes a holistic approach that incorporates recreational and social activities, educational and vocational services, and life skills training.
Clients also receive several types of evidence based treatment modalities, including cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), and trauma related counseling. They offer rational emotive behavioral therapy (REBT) to help you challenge your irrational beliefs that cause maladaptive behaviors and emotional distress.
One of the exceptional aspects of this center is the supportive services. Clients in need of supportive housing, essential needs, immigration services, and more can get the referrals they need to other CCS locations for additional assistance. Those who’ve reviewed the organization appreciate the staff’s helpfulness and commitment, and mentioned the role the programs played in their life transformation and recovery.
