Beaverton, OR – Earlier today, Washington County unveiled its new Beaverton Recovery Center (BRC) with a ceremonial ribbon cutting followed by a facility tour. The BRC is one of two locations for the County’s new Center for Addictions Triage and Treatment (CATT).
“Until now, the county has lacked critical capacity for substance use treatment services with no sobering beds, few residential beds, and no publicly funded detox beds,” said Kathryn Harrington, chair of the Washington County Board of Commissioners. “That all changes with the opening of the Beaverton Recovery Center. This is a monumental day for our community.”
The County’s vision for the CATT began to take shape in 2019. From the beginning, it was a community-driven project, with more than 250 people providing input to ensure the CATT would work for the community. People who identify as having lived experience with substance use were involved in nearly every aspect of the project.
All services at the BRC, which is located at 17911 NW Evergreen Place, will be provided by longtime County partner and well-established addictions provider CODA, Inc. When all services are operational, 86 treatment beds will be available. This includes:
- Residential treatment: A facility-based treatment program where a person lives for 30-90 days in a supportive environment, learning the skills to prevent relapse. The BRC has 48 residential beds split across two units.
- Sobering: Designed to support an individual who is acutely intoxicated. Services include monitoring vital signs, providing fluids and nutrients, and offering a safe and supportive environment. Length of stay is typically very short, ranging from 4-12 hours. The BRC will have 16 sobering beds when this service starts in 2026.
- Withdrawal management (also known as detox or detoxification): Provides medical monitoring and support to individuals who have developed a physical dependence on alcohol or opiates. This is typically a short-term service, often with transition to residential services upon discharge. The average length of stay is 3-5 days. The BRC has 16 detox beds.
- Transitional services: This program will provide short-term support for individuals as they transition out of residential treatment care and move to their next residence. Most individuals will stay 2-4 days. There will be six beds for this service.
“CODA is beyond honored to be delivering comprehensive, integrated addiction care at the Beaverton Recovery Center,” said Alison Noice, executive director of CODA, Inc. “This innovative program will impact thousands of individuals and families each year and should be a source of great pride for the Washington County community. Our deepest gratitude to everyone who has been a part of this tremendous accomplishment.”
The BRC is slated to officially open on November 17. It will serve adults ages 18 and older. Most referrals will come from hospitals and other service providers; however, individuals can request services themselves by contacting CODA directly. All services are voluntary, meaning that nobody will be held there against their will.
The CATT has two locations and service spectrums. The Hillsboro Recovery Center opened in June and is located at 5250 NE Elam Young Parkway. It offers a variety of outpatient behavioral health services provided by Solutions Group NW, Lifeworks NW, The Peer Company, Project Homeless Connect, and soon Virginia Garcia Memorial Health Center. Washington County Behavioral Health is also located there.
For both CATT locations, Washington County contracted with Holst Architecture on the building design and with R&H Construction for renovation and construction. Advanced Tribal, a Native American-owned general contracting business, partnered with R&H on this project.
The total capital and start-up costs across both sites is approximately $62.3 million. The CATT was funded through multiple sources, including health care grants, funds provided through legislative sessions, opioid settlement dollars and behavioral health reserves.
“The CATT was developed by our community, for our community,” said Washington County Behavioral Health’s Kristin Burke, project manager for the CATT. “We are excited to see how this program will change lives for the better in Washington County.”
