SERVICES

DETOXIFICATION AND STABILIZATION PROGRAM

When a patient arrives at HarborCrest, they are greeted by our registered nurses who specialize in Substance Use Disorder treatment. The admission process includes a full evaluation and is conducted to determine the level of medical care that is needed.

Our goal is to keep every patient comfortable and safe during their stay in medical detox (Withdrawal Management). During the detox phase, they are monitored closely; alarms and fall-prevention beds are used when necessary. Once a patient is medically cleared by our physicians, the stabilization phase begins. The length of treatment is determined by medical necessity.

During the stabilization phase, patients participate in the intensive treatment program, which serves to raise awareness and engage them in their own recovery process. Through group therapy and evidence-based approaches including 12-step approaches, patients can begin to gain a sense of the ongoing work needed in order to continue in their recovery process. Your stay is based on medical necessity, which is evaluated daily to assess your individual needs.

We use evidence-based approaches covering a variety of relevant  relapse prevention topics. The program includes lectures and presentations by experts in specialized subject areas, as well as guest speakers from alumni of our program.

Substance Using Pregnant People (SUPP)

HarborCrest is contracted with the Health Care Authority to provide specialized care and quality treatment to pregnant women in need of substance use disorder treatment. The staff assists patients with developing a lifestyle compatible with sobriety and motherhood. There is no cost to pregnant women in the state of Washington for the Substance Using Pregnant People (SUPP). For those who need it, we can arrange transportation to our facility from anywhere in Washington State.

Treatment for SUPP patients consists of a 26-day residential program, focusing on restoring health, personal discovery and long-term recovery. The benefits to the mother and her unborn child are immeasurable.

MEDICATION ASSISTED TREATMENT (MAT)

Our physicians are federally waived to be able to provide Suboxone® and Subutex® as a detox protocol as well as an ongoing Medication Assisted Treatment modality. These types of pharmacological interventions and treatment can mean hope and freedom for patients suffering from Primary Opiate Dependence. Buprenorphine (Suboxone®) is an modality for long-term opiate dependence and known for its long term efficacy.

By directly affecting the opiate sites in the brain, Buprenorphine (Suboxone®) suppresses opiate withdrawal symptoms, decreases intense cravings and improves patients ability to sustain long-term recovery from their opiate dependence.

Beth first was employed as an LPN in HarborCrest from 2009-2010.  Upon earning her RN license she completed the HRH RN Residency and worked on Med/Surg from August 2010 to January 2011. She then transferred back to HarborCrest where she worked as staff RN and Charge RN until January 2020.

Most recently she has been at Summit Pacific where she established and led the Medication Assisted Treatment Clinic. Under her leadership the clinic received the WSHA Rural Quality Excellence award. Beth notes that she values finding new and innovative ways to improve our community and it is this community she has called home her entire life. She is looking forward to returning “home” at HRH and the new opportunities to move HarborCrest forward. 

Cristen Rogers joined HRH in 2006 as a Chemical Dependency Professional Trainee. In 2008 she completed internship requirements and earned her Substance Use Disorder Professional license, working with and counseling patients both in group and independently. She next moved into the Intake and Admissions Coordinator role where she has been responsible for working with numerous agencies to obtain referrals to bring patients into treatment at HarborCrest. Additionally, Cristen facilitated moving patients into ongoing treatment once they have concluded the program at HarborCrest in order to provide them the best tools for success.

Cristen began her role as Clinical Supervisor in January 2023, and earning her MA in Organizational Leadership from the University of Massachusetts Global in November of that year. Having experienced her own journey to long-term recovery, Cristen is passionate about extending empathy, understanding, and support to individuals seeking help; and firmly believes that every patient deserves a judgment-free space where they can find hope, healing, and renewed purpose.

“With each passing day, I am inspired by the resilience of our patients and the unwavering dedication of our team. Together, we work tirelessly to provide an environment where healing and transformation can take place. As a Clinical Supervisor at HarborCrest, my purpose is clear - to continue making a positive impact, advocating for change, and helping patients with Substance Use Disorder find the strength and courage to embark on their own journey of recovery.”
