Youth Eastside Services (YES)

They provide outpatient and telemedicine. Whichever one you start at the usual pattern is to step down through the levels rather than stop at once, and Bothell is the closest place to carry that on if you move.

No. The nearest place that does offer one is in Kirkland, under a mile away.

They do video appointments, which matters if Kirkland is a drive for you.

No medication assisted treatment here. Some programs are abstinence based by design, which is a real difference rather than an oversight, and Kirkland has 8 other centers to compare.

Yes. They treat people in Spanish. Confirm it for the first appointment specifically, because in Kirkland that can depend on who is rostered that day.

Yes. They treat ages 12 to 17, which only a minority of centers do. Kirkland has 8 other centers, and an age range is the first thing to confirm on the call.

The spread is enormous, from state funded care at no cost to private residential rates that need financing. Some centers hold a small number of funded places and do not advertise them, so the question is worth asking out loud. It is worth asking about a sliding scale even where nothing is advertised.

Much of what people pack gets held at the door. The paperwork and the medication are what you genuinely need. Medications normally have to arrive in the original labeled container, so a pill organizer can be refused at the door. Write the medication list before you pack anything, with the doses and who prescribed them.
