Tamarack Center is a small, coeducational residential psychiatric treatment center founded in 1984, for boys and girls ages 12-17 years old. This short term program is for adolescents struggling with Bi-Polar disorder, Depression, PTSD, ADHD, Oppositional disorder, OCD and/or Reactive Attachment disorders.
Executive Director of Tamarac Center is Tim Davis and Admissions Director is Christopher Dal Pra. Tamarac Center is licensed by Washington State Department of Health as a residential psychiatric treatment center, community mental health service, a non-public school agency and as an evaluation and treatment facility. Accreditation is through the Joint Commission and certification by TRI CARE, in addition to their membership to NATSAP and the American Association of Children's Residential Treatment Centers.
Upon enrollment, each resident receives an individualized treatment plan and treatment issues are addressed in individual, group and recreational therapies, which take place seven days a week. Family therapy occurs once a week and one week-end a month Tamarac provides a group family gathering called "Family Matters" that includes family activities, parent education and parent support groups while their child attends a separate support group with their siblings.
Recreational therapy activities include bike rides, softball games, working out in the gym or simply going out to eat, during which residents learn to work together, communicate appropriately and create healthy relationships.
