My experience at The Center in Edmonds Washington has been amazing. The level of professionalism, skill and caring from the staff was so much higher than I expected. The facilities are very nice, modern and comfortable, and the housing units are all outfitted with new kitchens, living rooms and bedrooms. They are like very nice apartments. The town is small, quiet and I believe an ideal setting for treatment.
The days consist of one-on-one sessions, group sessions, work with a dietitian and sometimes with a fitness coordinator. You are given tasks and assignments to work on in the evenings. A medical doctor provides a checkup weh you arrive and is available throughout for any medical needs. The Cetner can provide prescriptions, but my experience is they actually try to wean you off of them, only prescribing what you need and working to supplement your body with nutritious meals.
You are not supervised in the evenings or weekends. There is ordained staff and The Center offers a faith-based track for those who select it. There is no additional charge for that. If you don't want it, you would not know it is there ,but it is clearly a faith-based facility and I found comfort in that.
You can have a roommate when you are there, or there are private rooms available but I believe they may cost a bit more. The clients that I interacted with were universally pleased with the facilities and their treatment. I cannot say enough about the life-changing care you can receive at The Center.
They have a great reputation for depression and anxiety treatment (and treating eating disorders too) and I have seen why. Just outstanding and highly recommended.
