The Providence St. Peter Chemical Dependency Center has been a chemical dependency provider since 1986. Substance abuse is a chronic, progressive, relapsing disease, resulting in physical and psychological dependence on chemical substances. Much like other health concerns, it can also be treated successfully. The staff is committed to helping individuals whose lives have been affected by the harmful use of alcohol and other drugs.
The center offers a complete continuum of treatment options to diagnose, treat, and provide ongoing recovery support. Medically supervised programs offer excellence in clinical counseling, comprehensive education, and a safe environment for recovery.
The facility is licensed by the State of Washington and is approved by The Joint Commission. Programs are based on the principle that each person’s needs are unique, and must be addressed specifically. The treatment model incorporates the nationally recognized American Society of Addiction Medicine (ASAM) placement criteria, family involvement, and community-based recovery support groups.
