Why It Matters
Supporting Mental Health in Clallam and Jefferson Counties
As of December 2021, the State of Washington had 28 freestanding Evaluation and Treatment (E&T) centers – none of which are located in Clallam or Jefferson counties. In both Counties, fatal overdose rates per 100,000 residents are significantly higher than the state average and continue to rise. Notably, Clallam County, home to nearly 75% of the Peninsula’s population, has the third-highest drug overdose death rate in the entire state.
Residents of the Olympic Peninsula are also more likely to require behavioral health evaluation and treatment compared to the average Washingtonian, and suicide rates in the region significantly exceed state averages. The lack of available inpatient or residential behavioral health beds poses a critical challenge. Individuals requiring mental health treatment under the Involuntary Treatment Act (ITA) often remain in acute care hospitals, awaiting transfer to a suitable facility when a bed becomes available. This approach is fragmented, temporary, ineffective, and costly. The high utilization of emergency rooms, hospitalizations, and doctor visits places a substantial strain on the entire healthcare delivery system.
