Who we are |
|
We are the only inpatient unit for behavioral health clients in Whatcom
County that offers acute stabilization, treatment and referral services,
including voluntary admissions, involuntary commitments and lesser
restrictive alternatives.
We are also the only inpatient psychiatric co-occurring model outside of
Seattle. This model of treatment keeps care from becoming fragmented and is
the future of behavioral health and chemical dependency treatment.
