Cowlitz Family Health Center

Family Health Center is a federally qualified health center established in 1970, serving Cowlitz County and surrounding areas in Washington State. In 2015, the organization merged with the Drug Abuse Prevention Center (DAPC, established 1971), expanding services to include substance use disorder treatment. The center provides primary care, dental services, family planning, WIC nutritional services, and maternal support programs across multiple clinic locations in Longview, Kelso, Castle Rock, Cathlamet, Ocean Park, and Woodland. In addition to outpatient treatment for substance use disorders, DAPC offers residential treatment and support services designed specifically for pregnant, postpartum, and parenting women and their children. The organization partners with local housing authorities to provide supportive housing for homeless families struggling with addiction. Services include translation and interpretation services, improved access for veterans, and care coordination for homeless populations.
