About Starting Point

The program offers outpatient treatment, Intensive Outpatient, evaluations and the Alcohol and Drug Information School with a strong focus on supporting clients who need to meet court, probation or Department of Licensing requirements.
Addiction Treatment with Alcohol and Drug Information School
Clients typically begin with a substance use or DUI evaluation, which Starting Point submits to the required parties.
From there, individuals can enroll in weekly outpatient treatment that includes group sessions and counseling or step into Intensive Outpatient care as part of Washington's multiphase Deferred Prosecution program.
Throughout treatment, clients receive relapse prevention support, individual and group counseling and urine analysis monitoring when needed.
Starting Point also offers the Alcohol and Drug Information School in person and via live telehealth making it accessible for clients completing Washington legal requirements from out of state or managing Oregon Diversion programming.
