Washington care-setting mix

How Washington's 407 listings split by care setting

Exclusive outpatient / residential partition for this listing's state peers. Orthogonal to the inventory≠MAT dual above and to this facility's own service list (service rows can overlap; these buckets cannot).

Sparse-record desk: Downtown Emergency Service Center - Crisis Solutions Center (CSC)

Signature: MAT flagged. Downtown Emergency Service Center - Crisis Solutions Center (CSC) is a sparse N-SUMHSS sheet (22 attrs; below 30). Treat missing MAT/Medicaid/modality rows as unreported, not proven absent; confirm by phone before travel.

What is present: outpatient; Medicaid. What is thin: many SAMHSA fields blank on this vintage. Downtown Emergency Service Center's SAMHSA record documents fewer attributes (22) than the typical Washington facility (state median: 31, out of 407 listed statewide). That is common for smaller or newly-surveyed programs and does not mean fewer services are actually offered, it means fewer were self-reported to SAMHSA. Call the facility directly to confirm services not shown here.
