Overview

Mission

It is the center's mission to treat individuals and their families who suffer from the disease of chemical dependency. Treatment includes: individual assessment, alcohol & drug information school, intensive outpatient, outpatient, recovery house and sub-acute detoxification.

What it reported doing in 2013

Outpatient services provides assessments, individual and group therapy to approximately 2,000 patients per year. About 60% are court referred. Patients who are assessed as being chemically dependent generally go through a course of treatment that varies from 6-24 months. The organization uses several modalities of treatment which are evidenced based. Skagit recovery center is the counties adult felony drug court treatment provider, provides an in-house treatment program in the skagit county jail, and provides a one day offenders program for the sheriff department. We encourage our patients to attend self-help recovery groups.

Operating model

Revenue model
Earned-program. 74% of the money available for current operations came from fees and other program revenue.
Distribution model
Direct operator. The filing allocates 100% of reported program-service expenses outside its grant, affiliate-payment, and member-benefit lines. This expense classification does not rule out separately announced grant awards.

The verdict

SUPPORTED - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Revenue has declined or grown slowly and expenses are high relative to revenue.
