Welcome To Triumph Treatment Services

Triumph Treatment Services is a nonprofit organization dedicated to helping families and individuals overcome chemical dependency and regain and maintain control of their lives. We offer a wide range of services including assessment, out patient treatment, Women's programs, housing programs, education and counseling.

Our goal is to help peolple triumph over addiction and achieve and maintain funcational and successful lives.

The first step usually occurs in the outpatient center.

Assessment is the beginning of the process. Everone is an individual and we attempt to match services to individual needs. With a wide range of treatment options, we can design the most appropriate and effective treatment to accomplish a long range solution.

After assessment, the client is routed to the appropriate next step which could be treatment, group and individual counseling, supervised or case managed housing, or referral to residential servives.

We link services throughout the process to provide a path from initial diagnosis and treatment through return to normal life. We provide people with a toolbox of skills to not only succeed but to maintain their success.

A Letter from our Executive Director, Beth Dannhardt

We are an old agency, established in 1961, and have grown to our present configuration in response to the needs of the individuals in Yakima County with the disease of chemical dependency. Triumph has a staff of over 100, and a yearly budget of approximately $3 million. Please see explore this site to learn more about our outpatient program at CDAC (Community Drug & Alcohol Center) and our two specialized residential programs, James Oldham Treatment Center & Riel House.

Because we feel affordable, safe, and clean and sober housing is essential to ensure success in the chemical dependent individual's recovery, we have, over the years, developed a significant housing component. We have added, through a generous donation, a small apartment building (My Brother's House) to enhance the services of our 20-unit transitional housing building (Parkway Place). Additionally, we purchased (with the help of HUD) the 49-unit TraveLodge which we converted to single and double units of permanent supported housing for recovering individuals and couples, including individuals with co-occurring disorders (chemical dependency and mental health issues). It is called Connections. Our housing program is case-managed.

Our Riel House has recently moved to the EPIC Place Campus. It has allowed us to add two more beds. The construction was funded through Washington State Community Trade & Economic Development, Housing Finance Unit, and we are pleased with our partnership with EPIC.

United Way funds two programs at Triumph Treatment Services for families called How to Cope and Out From Under. These programs are free to the participants. United Way also funds an education/prevention program for kids in 4th and 5th grade called Straight Talk. It tells kids about the dangers of the Gateway Drugs of alcohol, tobacco, inhalants, and marijuana.

Triumph Treatment Services provides chemical dependency assessments and treatment at the Yakima County Restitution Center. We want to support the concept of a therapeutic community at the Center. Studies show the prevalence of substance abuse issues in the criminal justice population run about 80%. Therefore, addressing (treating) this population is essential to reduce recidivism.

The National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA) has a large national project called the Clinical Trials Network. The Washington node is at the University of Washington Alcohol and Drug Institute. Triumph Treatment Services is one of seven community treatment programs chosen to participate in the Washington node. We were chosen because of our comprehensive programming, our past experience with research, and our interest in transfer of research to practice. This is a very exciting opportunity for the field of chemical dependency treatment.

We are a busy, dynamic agency and we continually look at our community for unmet needs of the chemically dependent individual as well as others impacted by substance abuse.
