About Mid Columbia Center for Living

Mid Columbia Center for Living provides outpatient addiction treatment and intensive outpatient programs in The Dalles, Oregon. This certified community behavioral health clinic specializes in dual diagnosis care and serves the broader recovery community across Hood River, Wasco, and Sherman Counties.

Mid Columbia Center for Living operates as a certified community behavioral health clinic serving The Dalles and the surrounding Columbia River Gorge region. Located on Webber Street, this outpatient addiction treatment facility has earned recognition as a Certified Community Behavioral Health Clinic (CCBHC), positioning it as a cornerstone of the regional recovery community. The center provides comprehensive behavioral health services under the leadership of Medical Director Dr. Kim Humann and Executive Director Al Barton, MS, LPC.

The facility offers structured outpatient programs and intensive outpatient treatment designed for individuals seeking ongoing recovery support. Their outpatient program allows participants to maintain work, family, and community connections while receiving professional addiction treatment. The intensive outpatient component provides more frequent therapeutic contact for those requiring additional structure during early recovery or as a step-down from residential treatment. Both programs integrate seamlessly into longer-term recovery planning and aftercare coordination.

Treatment at Mid Columbia Center emphasizes Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) delivered by licensed clinical staff. The center's approach focuses particularly on co-occurring disorders, recognizing that many individuals in recovery face both substance abuse and mental health challenges. Clinical supervision comes from experienced professionals including Adult Clinical Services Manager Fred Williams, LCSW, and Quality & Compliance Director Gaby Swisher, LCSW, MPH, ensuring consistent therapeutic standards.

The center specifically serves adolescents, young adults aged 18-25, women, and individuals who are deaf or hard of hearing. Their dual diagnosis specialization makes them particularly valuable for recovery community members dealing with complex mental health presentations. Operating Monday through Friday with dedicated hours, Mid Columbia Center accepts Medicare, Medicaid, TRICARE, and private insurance, plus offers sliding scale payment options to ensure accessibility across Hood River, Wasco, and Sherman Counties.

Outpatient Programs and Recovery Community Integration

Mid Columbia Center for Living structures its outpatient addiction treatment to support individuals at various stages of their recovery process. The standard outpatient program provides regular therapeutic sessions while allowing participants to maintain employment, housing, and family responsibilities in The Dalles and surrounding communities. This flexibility proves essential for those transitioning from residential treatment or sober living arrangements.

The intensive outpatient program offers increased contact hours for individuals requiring more structured support during early recovery phases. Both programs utilize Cognitive Behavioral Therapy as a core therapeutic method, helping participants develop practical coping strategies and address underlying thought patterns contributing to substance abuse. The clinical team coordinates closely with other recovery resources throughout the Columbia River Gorge region.

Dual Diagnosis Specialization and Clinical Excellence

As a certified community behavioral health clinic, Mid Columbia Center maintains particular expertise in treating co-occurring disorders. Many individuals seeking outpatient addiction treatment also manage depression, anxiety, trauma, or other mental health conditions that require integrated care approaches. The facility's dual diagnosis specialization ensures that both substance abuse and mental health concerns receive appropriate clinical attention.

The clinical leadership includes Medical Director Dr. Kim Humann and Adult Clinical Services Manager Fred Williams, LCSW, who oversee treatment protocols and staff supervision. Quality & Compliance Director Gaby Swisher, LCSW, MPH, ensures that all services meet CCBHC standards while maintaining focus on recovery outcomes and community integration.
