At Belair Clinic, we use the latest technology and the most up to date therapeutic models to help our clients gain stability in their lives. We understand that treatment goals should be tailored to the individual and that a single system of treatment, no matter how effective, will never be able to address everyone.

Using the latest research in neuroscience, we help our clients gain awareness of this complex brain disorder and give them tools to replace old compulsive mechanisms for coping with the difficult ups and downs of life, with more effective practices that allow for well-being and happiness without the use of alcohol or drugs.

Please feel free to give us a call if you have questions about our treatment program or want to schedule a free consultation for yourself or a loved one.

Belair Clinic is Whatcom County's premier drug and alcohol recovery center. We offer outpatient services for both adults and youth in Whatcom County, with a treatment approach that is outside the box that teaches new skills and perspectives to help our clients be successful.

The question for most addicts is: What can I do differently? What Havn't I tried? What's Missing? Our hope is that we can instill motivation, willingness and new perspective to help people live the lives they want to lead.

The staff at Belair Clinic is versatile and use a myriad of therapy models that include mindfulness based cognitive therapy (MBCT), dialectical behavioral therapy (DBT), motivational interviewing, neurotherapy, attachment models, and family systems.

Our philosophy is one that honors growth instead of abstinence, with an understanding that people enter treatment at different levels of readiness and commitment.  Treatment should instill growth while being exciting and fun, not punitive and shameful.

Recovery is a process that requires behavioral change and at Belair Clinic we will assist you to discover the tools and insight to do just that. Our staff is dedicated to the philosophy of giving you and your loved ones the very best opportunity to recover and find a more fulfilling and rewarding life through understanding your own behavior.
