SERVING THE DOWNTOWN SPOKANE AREA​

COMPASSION + COMMUNITY = HOPE

Welcome!

Community is the heart of Compassionate Addiction Treatment (CAT).  CAT believes that community and connection is key to recovery.  Community members are welcome to come in and visit, relax, have some coffee, or tea, make some art, participate in peer supported meetings, volunteer, and enjoy special events.  

Our Values

Our values are empathy, compassion, respect, inclusivity and relationships.  In our beautiful, living room style space, we come together to create community. We hope you'll become a part of our recovery community; a diverse circle of people, supporting each other through ups and downs, through grief and healing. We celebrate life and recovery together. Surround yourself with people that see you, and see your worth. You matter. You are important. You are a valued member of our community.

Empathy

We are understanding of each others thoughts, feelings and experiences.  We take time to be with each other in our feelings and experiences, supporting each other with compassion.

Compassion

Sharing our stories with each other, and understanding each others humanness, we accept that we are each doing our best in this moment.  Sometimes our best is beautiful; sometimes making it through the day is the best we have.  Both are signs of our incredible resilience and capacity to exist in often challenging circumstances.

Inclusivity

We embrace and value the diversity of our community members.  All are welcome here.

Respect

We care about the well being of our community.  We are considerate of the thoughts, feelings and beliefs of others.

Relationships

Our space welcomes vulnerability and meets it with compassion, empathy, inclusivity and respect. We create friendships and connection through our daily interactions and sharing.
