Comprehensive Healthcare Crisis Triage Center and Detox Facility
Located in Yakima, Washington, the Comprehensive Healthcare Crisis Triage Center and Sub-Acute Detox Facility offers essential, round-the-clock services for individuals facing behavioral health crises and substance use withdrawal. This facility is licensed as both a non-medical withdrawal management center and a Residential Treatment Facility, providing a safe and structured environment for those in need of immediate care.
Understanding Withdrawal Management and Crisis Stabilization
The facility specializes in two core areas: withdrawal management (also known as sub-acute detox) and crisis stabilization. Withdrawal management is a crucial initial step for individuals overcoming substance use dependency, providing monitoring and support as the body manages withdrawal symptoms. This is a non-medical detox service.
For mental health needs, the center offers 24-hour crisis stabilization. The dedicated staff, composed of mental health and substance use treatment professionals, focuses on attending to immediate client needs, which includes continuous crisis assessment and assisting with urgent appointments or medication refills.
Key Services Offered
The 16-bed facility integrates multiple services to ensure comprehensive care and referral pathways. The goal is to stabilize clients before referring them to appropriate long-term treatment or outpatient services based on their individual needs. Services available include:
- Crisis Stabilization
- Sub-Acute Withdrawal Management (Detox)
- Acute Care Services/Designated Crisis Responders (DCR’s)
- Diversion Services
- Corrections — Jail-based Services
The center operates 24 hours a day, seven days a week for both detox services and crisis services. For those seeking immediate assistance, the facility accepts walk-ins for detox at any time, and for the Crisis Triage Center during walk-in hours, typically Monday through Friday.
Accessing Care and Referrals
Access to the Crisis Triage Center and Detox Facility is designed to be straightforward, recognizing the urgency of these situations. Individuals can self-refer by calling the crisis line or coming directly to the facility’s entrance at 505 S. 4th Ave. Referrals are also welcomed from family members, law enforcement, medical professionals, and social service organizations.
Once stabilization is achieved, staff members facilitate referrals to help clients transition smoothly to the next step in their recovery journey, whether that involves long-term residential care or community-based outpatient programs.
