What the SAMHSA Record Shows About Downtown Emergency Service Center

Downtown Emergency Service Center is a substance use treatment operated by a private non-profit organization entity in Seattle, Washington. The facility's N-SUMHSS record lists 1 primary care modality (outpatient), which shapes both how treatment is delivered and how intake is scheduled. Medication-Assisted Treatment (MAT) is reported as available, meaning FDA-approved medications such as methadone, buprenorphine, or naltrexone may be combined with counseling for opioid or alcohol use disorder. The full postal address on file is 515 3rd Avenue, Seattle, WA 98104.

On the services side, the facility self-reports 8 distinct service lines, 3 substance or condition categories treated, 5 clinical treatment approaches, and serves 2 specific population groups with 1 language of care. Those counts give a rough signal of programmatic breadth — a higher number of approaches and populations usually indicates more structured clinical programming rather than a single-modality operation. Payment-wise, the record confirms Medicaid, plus 2 specific payment methods enumerated in the survey.

SAMHSA fields are self-reported by the facility and refreshed on a rolling basis, so wait times, bed availability, current insurance contracts, and staff credentials are best confirmed on a direct intake call to (206) 682-2371. This page is a factual directory summary, not medical advice, clinical endorsement, or a guarantee of admission. For any acute crisis or active substance-use emergency, call the SAMHSA National Helpline at 1-800-662-4357 or the 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline before visiting any facility.
