The Challenge
To create an effective, sustainable, and locally led response to the opioid crisis in King County, WA.
The Solution
Through collaboration, an opioid treatment clinic was designed, built, and opened to the public in under 18 months. The construction of We Care Daily Clinics was overseen by Indigenous Pact and is now operated by Indigenous Pact Collaboratives under the guidance of the Muckleshoot Indian Tribe and their established Behavioral Health Program.
The Results
We Care Daily Clinics is helping place more individuals (both Native and non-Native) on pathways to recovery by offering patient-centered treatments in a modern, welcoming facility. The Muckleshoot Indian Tribe has been recognized as a regional leader for affecting change in addressing the opioid crisis.
Clinic Differentiators
A Patient Centered Care Continuum
Addressing patient needs with Medication Assisted Treatment, Behavioral Health Counseling, Family & Social Supports, Transportation, and Drop In Child Care.
A Tribal Wraparound System of Care
Sustainable federal funding without grants sets up tribes as an optimal partner to address the opioid crisis.
Twin Benefits of Economic Development & Social Impact
A tribally led opioid treatment center not only improves lives of patients but enables reinvestment into the tribal community.
Key Insights
Indigenous Pact coordinated construction, policy, program design and staffing efforts for We Care Daily Clinics. Indigenous Pact also utilized the Muckleshoot Indian Tribe’s connections to conduct stakeholder outreach and stimulate positive support among the public.
