About American Behavioral Health Systems Cozza
American Behavioral Health Systems’ Cozza facility is a residential addiction treatment program at 44 East Cozza Drive in Spokane, Washington. Operating since 1997, American Behavioral Health Systems (ABHS) was founded to serve people in need of behavioral health intervention so they can regain effective control of their lives. The Cozza program is one of several ABHS sites across Washington State, all built around a clear access-first commitment: the organization explicitly accepts clients regardless of ability to pay, type of insurance, disadvantaged status, or confined status.
Programming begins with assessment services performed inside the program to determine the appropriate level of care and to track progress over time. Clients requiring detox enter the on-site withdrawal management program, where staff provide a comfortable, supervised environment to safely manage acute withdrawal from alcohol, opioids, and other substances. After withdrawal management, clients step into the residential treatment program, where the focus shifts to building new skills and coping mechanisms for life without substances. Stays are individualized rather than fixed.
Medical and psychiatric care are integrated into the residential model. Clients can see a family nurse practitioner and a psychiatric nurse practitioner each week as needed for screening of common medical and behavioral health issues. This is particularly important for clients with co-occurring disorders, which ABHS explicitly identifies as common among the populations it serves. The mental health track is integrated with substance use treatment rather than treated as a separate add-on.
Case managers play a central role at ABHS, working to provide the least restrictive level of care necessary so that life is disrupted as little as possible. They coordinate insurance verification, discharge planning, and transitions to next levels of care. Because the program accepts justice-involved clients, the facility maintains PREA compliance for safety. With nearly three decades of continuous operation and a focus on access, ABHS Cozza serves as a long-running residential resource for Spokane and eastern Washington.
