Washington County greeted a significant addition to its healthcare infrastructure with the unveiling of the new Hillsboro Recovery Center (HRC), a hub that consolidates diverse community services for individuals grappling with substance use disorders and other behavioral health issues. Located at 5250 NE Elam Young Parkway, the center was celebrated by county officials, service partners, and community collaborators, as reported by Washington County's official website.
The site, instrumental in hosting the Center for Addictions Triage and Treatment (CATT)'s array of services, is set to open on June 2, along with the Hawthorn Walk-In Center and Washington County Behavioral Health services. "Having these community supports all in one place will make it much easier for people to get holistic care for their mental health and substance use concerns," explained Project Manager Kristin Burke with Washington County Behavioral Health, as noted by the county's official website.
During July, the HRC will expand its service offerings with the inclusion of Solutions Group NW, Project Homeless Connect, and the Mental Health & Addiction Association of Oregon. These organizations aim to facilitate access for individuals in need and foster an encompassing support system. For the Latinx community, Solutions Group NW will offer outpatient services primarily in Spanish, including peer support, medication management, and counseling. As fall approaches, the Virginia Garcia Memorial Health Center intends to augment the center with health-related supports, addressing healthcare needs that often accompany substance use problems.
Designed by Holst Architecture and constructed by R&H Construction, with additional contributions from Advanced Tribal LLC, the $29 million project was financed through various sources, including opioid settlement funds, healthcare grants, and Measure 110 funding. The Beaverton Recovery Center (BRC) was mentioned as a forthcoming counterpart of HRC, slated for completion in late fall and located at 17911 NW Evergreen Place. The BRC anticipates providing intensive inpatient services, further broadening the county's commitment to addressing addiction and behavioral health.
