About CAT Spokane
Compassionate Addiction Treatment of Spokane (CAT Spokane), Washington, provides outpatient treatment to homeless individuals with co-occurring substance use and mental health disorders. Services are available to those without insurance. Committed to reducing barriers to care, they work with clients toward their goals of housing and healing.
Harm Reduction and the Seeking Safety Model
Emphasizing a nonreligious, stigma free environment, treatment prioritizes harm reduction and the Seeking Safety model. Individual, group and family counseling is offered through their outpatient and intensive outpatient programs. Medication assisted treatment (MAT) is available for opioid dependence, using FDA cleared medications such as suboxone. No appointment is necessary and pregnant women are welcome.
Community Outreach Programs
Services are led by Certified Peer Counselors, all of whom are in recovery and many of whom have experienced homelessness themselves. Their Recovery Community Day Program delivers therapy in a safe, homelike space, as well as holistic practices like group meditation, art, music and community celebrations. I appreciate that they provide comprehensive assessments, life skills classes and employment and housing case management. Community outreach is a focus.
Accepted With Open Arms
One former client wrote they felt “accepted with open arms.” They appreciate the sense of community and people that care. The staff is described as patient, compassionate, friendly and supportive.

Levels of Care
Intensive outpatient programs (IOP) are frequently used to facilitate clients' transition from inpatient to outpatient care. Clients who are more stable may also choose to enter IOP rather than a residential rehab following detox. Intensive outpatient treatment typically consists of nine to 20 therapeutic hours per week, with services ranging from psychotherapy to recovery education to holistic care. Many programs offer medication assisted treatment (MAT) for opioid and/or alcohol addiction.
Clients enrolled in an outpatient rehab program typically engage in multiple therapeutic sessions each week, but reside in their own homes and communities while receiving care. Outpatient treatment typically involves extensive addiction counseling, including family and group therapy. Most programs also emphasize recovery-focused life skills training and medical, mental health, and social support services to promote clients' sustained sobriety. Evening, night, weekend, and virtual services are widely available to accommodate the schedules of working professionals, students, and caregivers.
Treatments
Inpatient and outpatient drug and alcohol rehabs are typically the best option if you're looking for substance abuse treatment in Washington. These programs employ evidence-based therapies such as cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), and holistic approaches to help you overcome addiction, enhance your coping skills, and promote your mental health. Together, you'll learn the vital skills to support long-term sobriety and overall well-being.
Clinical Services
Individual therapy sessions for drug and alcohol addiction treatment emphasize the importance of personalized care. Your therapist works with you to understand your unique life experiences and develop effective coping mechanisms to address your underlying issues. This comprehensive approach to recovery is the foundation of drug rehab.
Group therapy is a safe space that offers you a confidential environment to openly discuss your challenges with addiction and the progress you're making without fear of judgment. Group therapy participants share responsibility for recovery, which fosters a collective commitment to sobriety.
One goal of family therapy is to provide a platform where members have a safe place to talk about the challenges that addiction has created in their lives. Using guided sessions, therapists help individual family members develop healthy communication skills and address unresolved issues between themselves to support their loved one's sobriety.
Accreditations
State Licenses are permits issued by government agencies that allow rehab organizations to conduct business legally within a certain geographical area. Typically, the kind of program a rehab facility offers, along with its physical location, determines which licenses are required to operate legally.
