About Sea Mar Community Health Centers – Bellingham
Known for its vibrant outdoor recreation scene, Bellingham, Washington is home to Sea Mar Community Health Centers. Established in 1978, this Joint Commission accredited clinic provides primary and behavioral health care for individuals in underserved areas in Western Washington, particularly members of the Latino community. You’ll benefit from culturally competent, targeted approaches to reach your recovery goals.
Quality Care, Regardless of Income
They strive to break treatment barriers by offering affordable services. They accept most major insurance companies, as well as Medicaid. If you don’t have insurance, their dedicated team will work with you to enroll. Even if you’re not eligible for insurance or Medicaid, you can still get the help you need. They provide sliding scale discounts based on your financial situation.
What stands out most to me is their emphasis on culturally appropriate care. You can access proven therapeutic interventions in English and Spanish, including drug and alcohol evaluations. You’ll benefit from tailored care so that you can easily understand and communicate your needs. They ensure you have an inviting space to focus on recovery.
I also think it’s great that they offer deferred prosecution programs. If you are involved in the criminal justice system, you may have access to treatment as an alternative to incarceration. These programs are often available for nonviolent, low level offenses. You’ll benefit from a second chance to reach recovery and prevent future charges.
Another great feature I noticed was their DUI assessments. They help you understand if you have a substance use disorder and how much it affects your life. That way, you’ll have clear guidance on the next steps for your situation and you can meet assessment requirements for your court case.
