About Skagit Community Detox
Skagit Community Detox is a 16-bed sub-acute detoxification facility located at 201 Lila Lane in Burlington, Washington, operated by Pioneer Human Services — one of Washington state’s largest nonprofit human-services organizations. Pioneer’s broader mission centers on reentry services for justice-involved individuals and dismantling mass incarceration through treatment, housing, and workforce programming. Skagit Community Detox plays a focused role within that mission: providing safe, medically supervised withdrawal management as the first step in a longer recovery journey.
The facility serves adults navigating alcohol use disorder, drug use disorder, and polysubstance withdrawal. Sub-acute detox is designed for clients whose withdrawal can be safely managed outside of a hospital but still requires medical oversight, observation, and pharmacological support. Brief intervention, motivational interviewing, relapse prevention counseling, and substance use disorder counseling are integrated into the detox stay, helping clients begin clinical work before discharge. SAMHSA records confirm American Sign Language services for deaf and hard-of-hearing clients — a meaningful access feature that few detox programs offer.
Because Skagit Community Detox is part of Pioneer Human Services, clients have access to a much broader continuum after stabilization. Pioneer operates housing, training, employment services, and reentry support across Washington, with 75% of diversion clients receiving treatment instead of jail time and 90% of federal reentry clients transitioning into stable housing in 2025. That ecosystem matters: clients leaving detox typically need much more than a referral list to maintain progress, and Pioneer’s integrated structure provides housing, vocational, and clinical pathways forward.
The facility accepts Medicaid (Washington Apple Health), Medicare, private insurance, state insurance, and offers financial assistance. As a nonprofit, Pioneer Human Services keeps cost barriers low and prioritizes serving justice-involved individuals, those returning from incarceration, and people experiencing homelessness alongside the broader community. Admissions can be reached at (360) 757-7738, and Pioneer’s statewide network handles referrals across treatment, housing, and reentry programs.
