About Columbia Wellness Wellness and Recovery Center
Columbia Wellness Wellness and Recovery Center is the substance use detox and residential arm of Columbia Wellness, a community behavioral health agency that has served Cowlitz County since 1953. SAMHSA’s findtreatment.gov record for the Longview location confirms medical detox, residential treatment, outpatient, and intensive outpatient (IOP) levels of care, along with cognitive behavioral therapy and acceptance of Medicaid, private insurance, self-pay, and state insurance. The record also flags veterans and the deaf and hard-of-hearing population as served.
Columbia Wellness describes itself as a Certified Community Behavioral Health Clinic (CCBHC) — a designation that signals integrated, sustainably-financed access to mental health and substance use care, expanded crisis response, and partnerships with law enforcement, schools, and hospitals. The organization publishes that it serves more than 10,000 clients annually across five facilities in Cowlitz and Grays Harbor Counties and employs more than 50 master’s-level therapists.
The Wellness and Recovery Center has its own dedicated phone line, (877) 353-9840, separate from the main Cowlitz services number. That single point of contact is the most direct way for prospective clients to reach the detox and residential program, though Columbia Wellness’s mobile crisis team and 24/7 crisis line ((800) 803-8833 or 988) provide alternate paths into care for someone in acute need.
The agency’s CARE framework — Commitment to improving quality of life, Advocacy for overall well-being, Response to community needs, and Effective treatment with measurable outcomes — is paired with an explicit commitment to evidence-based practices. Beyond substance use treatment, Columbia Wellness offers mental health counseling, case management, medication prescribing, and mobile crisis services across its network. The Google business listing for the Longview campus shows the building as 921 14th Avenue with a 2.5 rating across 49 reviews — a useful but mixed reputational signal worth weighing alongside the agency’s clinical credentials.
