Crisis Recovery Center

Crisis Recovery Center at Parkland-Spanaway

The Crisis Recovery Center (CRC) is officially open as of August 16, 2021. The CRC is operated by RI International, who also operates the Recovery Response Center in Fife. The CRC provides a safe alternative for individuals in need of support when faced with a mental health and or substance use crisis. The support staff consists of a team of psychiatrists, nurses, mental health professionals, individuals that specialize in resources management and peer support specialists. Referrals to the CRC must be made by law enforcement, Emergency Medical Services, First Responders, or community providers.
