Founded in 1930, Fairfax has served the behavioral health needs to the Greater Puget Sound for more than 89 years. As a result, we are continuously building a reputation for providing the best and most compassionate patient-centered care. Fairfax Health operates a 157-bed, standalone psychiatric hospital, located in Kirkland, WA. Six units provide specialized treatment for behavioral health and co-occurring disorders (mental illness and substance abuse) at the Kirkland behavioral hospital. Detoxification services are offered for both adolescents and adults. Fairfax operates a 30-bed adult general psychiatric hospital, located in Everett, WA. This psychiatric hospital is located on the seventh floor of the Providence Medical Center’s Pacific campus. Fairfax also operates a 34-bed behavioral hospital on the campus of Evergreen Health Monroe. Voluntarily and involuntarily admitted patients are cared for at all Fairfax locations. We have helped serve our community for nearly 90 years. We have expanded our facilities and services over time and are able to serve our entire community by meeting each patient’s needs. Patient recovery is a top priority to the staff at Fairfax. We are committed to a supportive environment, an ongoing plan for long-term sobriety and improved mental health. We are dedicated to educating the public the value of mental health by identifying and treating behavioral illnesses, addictions and their impact on people’s lives. Treatment services include screening, orientation, assessment and referral, detoxification, treatment planning, crisis intervention, consultation, voluntary hospitalization, involuntary hospitalization, outpatient day treatment, intensive outpatient programs, and education. We also offer individual, family and group counseling for those engaged in our programs.
