Sea Mar accepts most insurances including Medicaid and provides services regardless of a patient’s ability to pay. When insurance is not available, Sea Mar offers a sliding fee scale discount, determined by household size and income. Sea Mar has staff available to assist patients and clients with insurance enrollment, as applicable.
Welcome to Sea Mar’s Visions Youth Treatment Center. We have been providing intensive chemical dependency services to youth in Washington state since 1999.
Visions is a unique in-patient treatment facility for female youth ages 14 to 17. We are a state licensed, Level II facility accredited by The Joint Commission, located in Bellingham. We provide six to nine months of mental health and chemical dependency treatment for our clients.
We treat each resident holistically, teaching important life skills, healthy choices, effective communication, and fostering discovery of new hobbies and fun recreational activities. We work in collaboration with medical and dental staff, nutritionists and health educators to ensure that clients receive a “whole person” intervention while at Visions. We focus on cultural diversity, and use multidisciplinary practices to develop and maintain personalized treatment goals for each client.
Our primary goal is to make a positive difference in the lives of young people.
