MultiCare Behavioral Health Foundation<\/a>.<\/p>\n\u201cI started working here when we opened up in 2010 \u2014 we had one client in one hallway,\u201d says Pam Cole, certified peer specialist and team lead. \u201cIt was neat to see the transition of starting a new program.\u201d<\/p>\n
The Recovery Center has grown to include 16 beds, with most individuals entering by court order. The majority of clients do convert to voluntary status at discharge. During their stay, adults work with a multidisciplinary team, which includes psych providers, medical providers, mental health professionals, mental health technicians, peer specialists and registered nurses.<\/p>\n
\u201cAt the center, we offer an array of services, medications, groups and individual counseling. We help clients learn more about mental illness, coping skills and why meds are important,\u201d says Darlene Davies, director of clinical services. \u201cWe include collaboration with folks from the community, other partners and family members. We encourage wellness meetings in person with family members, support systems and natural supports. Now, we do that all virtually.\u201d<\/p>\n
Davies and her team aim to deliver trauma-informed, recovery-focused care.<\/p>\n
\u201cMost everybody coming in here has been traumatized in some way. When they\u2019re in crisis, we\u2019re able to help them manage that crisis,\u201d she explains. \u201cWe try to partner with the person as soon as they get here, providing quick and effective care to bring them hopefully back to their baseline. We bring them along with us to see the benefit of treatment. (And we) look less like a hospital. We try to have folks dressed in their clothes and make it more inviting, more welcoming.\u201d<\/p>\n
The Recovery Center also has peer specialists on staff like Cole to share their lived experiences and offer hope for clients.<\/p>\n
\u201cI work directly with clients, basically taking care of their immediate needs. I share a lot of my story when it’s something that I think they can relate to,\u201d Cole says. \u201cMy biggest goal here is to provide that hope. I was in the mental health system for many, many years, and I’m not anymore. And they could also experience that.\u201d<\/p>\n
Through her work, Cole enjoys seeing people realize their true, authentic selves.<\/p>\n
\u201cI can see the growth that people experience in the short time that they have been at the Recovery Center,\u201d she says. \u201cIt’s amazing. You’ll see somebody who will come in with one personality, and they’re totally different when they leave. It’s like, that’s the real you \u2014 I knew it was there.\u201d<\/p>\n
Davies also finds joy in the potential for transformation and in hearing from clients\u2019 families about the difference she and her team have made.<\/p>\n
\u201cThank you from the bottom of my heart for giving my daughter back to me as I knew her in the past,\u201d writes one family member. \u201cI appreciate everyone at the Recovery Center for having cared for her. I know that her recovery is not complete, but your center has given her a tremendous start to continuing her recovery.\u201d<\/p>\n
