What the SAMHSA Record Shows About Lake Whatcom Residential and Trt Ctr

Lake Whatcom Residential and Trt Ctr is a substance use & mental health operated by Private non-profit organization in Bellingham, Washington. The facility's N-SUMHSS record lists 3 primary care modalities (residential, outpatient, telehealth), which shapes both how treatment is delivered and how intake is scheduled. MAT is not listed in the current record; callers seeking medication-assisted options should verify directly or check the rankings pages for nearby providers that do offer MAT. The full postal address on file is 3400 Agate Heights Road, Bellingham, WA 98226.

On the services side, the facility self-reports 7 distinct service lines (Co-occurring disorder treatment, Mental health treatment, Outpatient, Residential, Substance use treatment, Suicide prevention services, Telehealth), 1 substance or condition category treated (General substance use disorders), and 2 clinical treatment approaches (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing therapy, Telemedicine/telehealth therapy). It serves 14 specific population groups (Active duty military, Justice-involved individuals, Military families, Persons affected by intimate partner violence, Persons experiencing first-episode psychosis, Persons who have experienced trauma, Persons with DUI/DWI, Persons with HIV/AIDS, Persons with PTSD, Persons with co-occurring disorders, Persons with serious mental illness, Seniors, Veterans, and 1 more) with 5 languages of care (German, Japanese, Other languages (excluding Spanish), Sign language services for the deaf and hard of hearing, Spanish). Those figures 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, Medicare, private insurance, plus 10 specific payment methods enumerated in the survey (Cash or self-payment, County or local government funds, Federal military insurance (e.g., TRICARE), IHS/Tribal/Urban (ITU) funds, Medicaid, Medicare, Other State funds, Private health insurance, and 2 more).

This record is one of the more thoroughly documented substance use & mental health listings in Washington: it reports 40 distinct service, population, payment, and language attributes, placing it in the top 13% of 407 facilities statewide (state median: 31). More attributes reported generally means more of your specific questions (payment type, language, care setting) are answered before you call.
