HarborCrest Behavioral Health

They provide inpatient hospital, outpatient and detox. Whichever one you start at the usual pattern is to step down through the levels rather than stop at once, and Hoquiam is the closest place to carry that on if you move.

They detox from alcohol, benzodiazepines, cocaine, methamphetamines and opioids, so the first stage and the treatment after it can happen in one place rather than across two trips to Aberdeen.

They offer a program for people who are pregnant or just postpartum, which not every center around Aberdeen does.

They treat adults up to and past 65. Ask whether the group sessions are mixed age, because in Aberdeen that often means one room rather than two.

They prescribe 2 medications: buprenorphine and naltrexone. What a provider actually stocks changes, so ask for the one you need by name before driving to Aberdeen.

Both can be treated at once, and programs that do are described as integrated or co-occurring. Trauma focused therapy is offered by some programs and not others, and it is a specific skill rather than a general one. Ask whether both conditions are handled by one team or passed between two.

Detox is days, residential care is weeks, and outpatient care is months. Partial hospitalization and intensive outpatient sit between residential and standard outpatient care, at a few hours a day. Ask how many hours of treatment a day the length actually contains.

Legally it is private, including from family, and including from an employer who is paying. A release of information is how that changes, it is signed by you, and it can name one person and one purpose. Ask how long the record is kept and what would have to happen for anyone to see it later.
