<p><strong>ABOUT EVERGREEN RECOVERY CENTERS – EVERETT</strong></p> <p>Evergreen Recovery Centers, founded in 1973 as Evergreen Manor, operates several addiction treatment facilities in Washington’s Puget Sound region. Among the state’s 396 rehab facilities, the Evergreen campus in Everett is one of <a href="https://wwwdasis.samhsa.gov/webt/state_data/WA17.pdf" target="_blank">18 (4.5 percent) to provide residential detox</a> services, 73 (18.4 percent) with <strong>specialized programming for pregnant and postpartum women</strong>, and <a href="https://wwwdasis.samhsa.gov/webt/state_data/WA17.pdf" target="_blank">nine (2.3 percent) allowing children</a> (five and under at this facility) to live with their mothers during treatment. </p> <p>In addition to the nonprofit agency’s <strong>co-ed detox and women’s residential programs</strong>, Evergreen also offers outpatient treatment elsewhere in Everett, and a men’s-only residential program is located in Mount Vernon.</p> <p><strong>TREATMENT & ASSESSMENT</strong></p> <p>The Evergreen Recovery Centers' medical detox program typically takes five to six days to complete. Most women then admitted to the longer-term residential program will receive <a href="https://www.recovery.org/topics/dual-diagnosis-recovery/" target="_blank">dual diagnosis treatment</a> for <strong>co-occurring substance use and psychiatric disorders</strong>. Clients already participating in <a href="https://www.recovery.org/topics/medication-assisted-treatment/" target="_blank">medication-assisted treatment</a> for opiate dependency are accepted.</p> <p>Residential programming in Everett combines <strong>on-site 12-step facilitation</strong>, dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), drug and alcohol education, and life skills training. Clients’ children participate in <a href="https://americanaddictioncenters.org/rehab-guide/with-children" target="_blank">play therapy</a>, and mothers receive family planning and <strong>domestic violence support</strong>. Additionally, the facility offers a weekend family program including education and counseling.</p> <p>Evergreen also offers an array of outpatient treatment options, including a 12-week anger management class, an <strong>eight-hour DUI-related course</strong>, and Department of Transportation (DOT) <a href="https://www.transportation.gov/odapc/sap" target="_blank">substance abuse professional (SAP)</a> evaluations.</p> <p><strong>STAFF CREDENTIALS</strong></p> <p>According to the Evergreen Recovery Centers website, the treatment team includes nurses with a variety of licensing and chemical dependency and mental health counselors. The women’s residential program boasts a <strong>3:1 staff-to-client ratio</strong>. Evergreen also maintains CARF (Commission on Accreditation of Rehabilitation Facilities) accreditation, which fewer than one-third (<a href="https://wwwdasis.samhsa.gov/dasis2/nssats/2017_nssats_rpt.pdf" target="_blank">29 percent</a>) of facilities nationwide hold.</p> <p>Of the 13 individuals polled by Rehabs.com to date, the five survey respondents polled on the matter praised the facility's staff.</p> <blockquote> <p>Staff Experience and Training: 4.4./5</p> </blockquote> <p><strong>ACCOMMODATIONS & AMENITIES</strong></p> <p>Clients of the Evergreen Recovery Centers Everett residential program typically share rooms. <strong>An on-site daycare center provides licensed child care</strong>; in Washington state, only 31 (7.8 percent) of facilities provide this service. The facility is tobacco-free.

Former clients tended to represent the staff as supportive and to <strong>highlight the recovery tools developed during treatment</strong>, including communication skills. "Evergreen Recovery Centers is extremely helpful and thorough. I was so nervous to begin treatment but the staff at ERC was so polite, welcoming, and kind," one alum wrote.</p> <p>Three alumni polled more extensively each rated the staff’s level of training and experience five out of five stars, and the two asked to assess co-occurring treatment also awarded maximum five-star ratings. Opinions were split on counseling options and family participation, and two dissatisfied alumni characterized the program as “a joke.” </p> <p>Elsewhere on third-party review sites, alumni offered polarized feedback for Evergreen. Most of 13 Google reviews were for the center’s detox program, with seven positive and six negative.
