BHC Fairfax Behavioral Health Kirkland

Fairfax Behavioral Health is a drug and alcohol rehab and psychiatric hospital in Kirkland, Washington that treats adolescents and adults with substance use and dual disorders.

Its offers medically managed inpatient detox and outpatient programs.

Outpatient services include PHP and IOP with counseling as well as buprenorphine for opioid use disorder and a dedicated Military & First Responders program that is built around DoD guidelines.

These services are paired with 24 hour walk-in assessments.

Military & First Responders Program

Fairfax Behavioral Health in Kirkland operates a Military & First Responders program for active duty service members and veterans which is one of the few such tracks at a Puget Sound area hospital.

Department of Defense guidelines are followed for medication management.

The clinical team coordinates directly with military facilities and commands that have referred clients which which ensures a patient's treatment aligns with a command's requirements or a return to duty timeline.

This presents as a perfect fit for those scenarios. The track is structured around that population from the start instead of adapting a general program to military culture and the facility accepts TRICARE and TriWest alongside other military insurance.

Those without a military connection are better served by one of the hospital's other specialized units.

Free Walk-In Assessments

Fairfax's Kirkland campus accepts walk-ins for a free level of care assessment at any hour on any day of the year and takes an hour and a half where a determination of which services a patient needs results.

A patient who is assessed at 2 a.m. can be placed into the level of care needed.

This occurs within the same campus which serves King County and the greater Seattle metro area or it can lead to a referral to a sister location.

They accept most major commercial plans and Medicare as well as Medicaid and military insurance. Financial assistance is available.
