Sedro-Woolley Behavioral Health Facilities
Background & History
In 2022, Skagit County opened its new Evaluation and Treatment Center—completing Phase 1 of the Skagit County Stabilization Campus. Funded by a Washington State Department of Commerce grant and local dollars, this 16-bed facility operated by Telecare provides inpatient mental health services to adults experiencing acute psychiatric symptoms, providing 24-hour support, and preparing individuals to return home, or to other community-based programs as appropriate.
Skagit County and the North Sound Behavioral Health Organization worked with consultants Denna Vandersloot and Slalom Consulting to help plan for the transition of Evaluation & Treatment services, as well as substance use disorder treatment services, from the North Cascades campus. For additional background information please review their reports:
Next Phase of CampusSkagit County is currently planning the next phase of the stabilization campus, which will include 48 inpatient beds and associated support in three units. The goal of the expanded services is to divert people experiencing mental health or substance use disorder crisis away from jail or emergency rooms, allowing these individuals to be treated in a more appropriate setting.
