Families in our area have searched far and wide to find appropriate drug and alcohol treatment for loved ones. According to the Recovery Coalition's website, a resident of Benton or Franklin Counties dies of Substance Use Disorder (SUD -addiction) every 5.2 days. The Tri-Cities is the only metro area in Washington State that has no detoxification or inpatient residential treatment for addiction.
 
It has been a long time coming and the reality is upon us: The Columbia Valley Center for Recovery, a state-of-the-art recovery center will open soon in the old Kennewick General Hospital building on Auburn Street in Kennewick. 
 
Join us Thursday, September 18 on Zoom to learn more about how--and why--it came to be after many roadblocks and difficulties.
