They wanted to ensure that connecting to services was as easy as possible.īenton County will now have their legal team take a look at the details to determine what needs to be done to make the change happen. They also wanted to avoid using a number of rivers because of the prevalence of businesses in the area also using similar naming.Īnother selling point was that the name could be shortened to an acronym for the website, C3RC. That name was picked because it includes “regional” in the title to highlight the broader effort. Several new names were proposed, but the one the committee liked most was Columbia River Regional Recovery Center. There is also a Twin Rivers Community Facility in Richland that specializes in Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT). That business, which is on Clearwater Avenue in Kennewick, was registered with the state in 2015. They’re looking for a new name because the one they had been using, Two Rivers Behavioral Health Center, was too similar to an existing mental health business, Three Rivers Therapy. New facility nameĪs they got closer to work beginning, it became apparent to the committee that they were going to need to decide on a new name before signs are created for the facilities. The committee is made up of local elected officials and county employees, mental health and addiction professionals, first responders and citizens. The committee also is looking at the feasibility of a sobering center, which could open by the end of the year, but a location and provider hasn’t been decided for that yet.

Benton County Deputy Administrator Matt Rasmussen told the Herald that they expect to hit that point around August. The facility will use a design-build process, which means once designs reach a certain threshold they can begin building the facilities. The Benton Franklin Behavioral Health Advisory Committee recently discussed the need for a new name, which will eventually go on the building, and a proposed joint agreement by local municipalities to help fund the facility with settlement money from opioid lawsuits.
The breakthroughs keep coming for the Tri-City area’s soon-to-be-realized mental health and recovery facility, with construction set to begin by fall.
