Assessment & Treatment Associates-Mountlake Terrace

Assessment and Treatment Associates is a mental health clinic in Mountlake Terrace, Washington. They provide a variety of outpatient services including an intensive outpatient program, a relapse prevention program, and early intervention services.

The intensive outpatient program will provide you with three group sessions per week. You can expect structure and support for early recovery. These groups focus on relapse and skills for prevention. I particularly like that they communicate an understanding of your substance use disorder and offer positive effective coping strategies.

Another treatment option they provide is an outpatient program that meets in a group weekly. These groups focus on improving coping skills and developing a sober support network.

The relapse prevention program is for you if you have accepted your substance use disorder, but have recently experienced relapse. To be admitted to this program, you must have full awareness of your substance use disorder and take responsibility for your relapse.

Early intervention services are for people who are showing signs of problematic drug and alcohol use. This program focuses on improving decision-making and coping skills while learning about the consequences of substance misuse.

Former clients said they didn’t feel like they were provided a proper assessment and mentioned that communication with the staff was hard to come by. Some former clients mentioned that they believe the business is about money instead of helping people.
