Frequently Asked Questions
Updated October 2026
What is the facility being built behind Costco next to the Healing Clinic?
The legal name is Jamestown S’Klallam Tribe dba Jamestown Salish Seasons, but it will be known publicly and internally as Jamestown Salish Seasons (JSS). This name reflects our commitment to culturally grounded healing and will appear on all signage and marketing materials.
What type of facility is JSS and what services are provided?
Jamestown Salish Seasons is licensed to provide Behavioral Health Residential Treatment (RTF) and voluntary Evaluation and Treatment (E&T) services.
Core aspects of our care environment and treatment include:
- Private Accommodations: Individual guest rooms featuring private en-suite bathrooms to support rest, privacy, and personal dignity.
- Nutritional Support: Nutritious, home-cooked meals provided daily to support physical well-being during recovery.
- 24/7 Clinical Care: Acute crisis stabilization, psychiatric evaluation, and medication management.
- Therapeutic Services: Individual and group therapeutic support, trauma-informed care, and culturally integrated healing practices.
- Care Coordination: Comprehensive discharge planning and community care connections.
Unlike many regional E&T facilities designed primarily for court-ordered stays under Washington’s Involuntary Treatment Act (RCW 71.05), JSS focuses exclusively on voluntary care, offering a safe, comfortable, and dignity-centered environment for individuals who choose to participate in their recovery.
Is JSS only for Native Americans or Jamestown Tribal citizens?
No. Jamestown Salish Seasons serves all adults (18 and older) who are experiencing acute behavioral health needs and voluntarily seek care, regardless of race, ethnicity, or tribal affiliation.
While JSS is owned and operated by the Jamestown S’Klallam Tribe and incorporates culturally grounded healing practices, our services are open to both Native and non-Native community members who meet admission criteria. You do not need to be a Tribal citizen or Native American to receive care at JSS.
Who is eligible to receive care at JSS, and how is insurance handled?
JSS serves adults (ages 18 and older) experiencing acute behavioral health needs who voluntarily seek care.
Services are available to everyone, including both Tribal and non-Tribal community members. As part of the admission process, JSS will evaluate a guest’s insurance coverage alongside their referral packet.
Is JSS a walk-in facility? What are the admission requirements?
No. JSS is not a walk-in facility.
All admissions require prior medical clearance and a complete referral packet provided by an Emergency Department (ED) or another medical facility with the capacity to provide full medical clearance.
Please refer to the Provider Referral Guide on our Get Started page for detailed admission criteria and referral requirements.
Does JSS offer medical detox or substance use disorder (SUD) services?

How long do guests stay at JSS?
Length of stay is based on each guest’s individual clinical needs. Some guests require only a few days of stabilization, while others may benefit from treatment lasting several weeks.
How do admissions and referrals work?
Admissions are entirely voluntary and must meet medical clearance requirements.

How is JSS different from other E&T centers?
JSS is a voluntary-only facility where guests choose to participate in their recovery journey while maintaining personal autonomy.
By pairing expert clinical care with dignified amenities, including private rooms, private bathrooms, and wholesome home-cooked meals, we strive to ensure every guest feels safe, respected, and supported throughout their stay.
How are JSS cultural values integrated into care?
JSS integrates Salish cultural principles into both the healing environment and clinical practice through:
- Native artwork, architecture, and soothing interior spaces that promote peace and healing.
- Optional access to traditional practices, ceremonies, and cultural support resources.
- Staff training in Tribal history, cultural humility, and trauma-informed care.

- Filling a critical gap in local voluntary behavioral health care.
- Providing services to both Native and non-Native individuals throughout the Olympic Peninsula and surrounding communities.
- Reducing unnecessary emergency department visits and law enforcement involvement during behavioral health crises.
