It features a state-of-the-art style, paired with anti-ligature furniture to ensure safety without compromising comfort and design. The choice of materials and furnishings reflects a deep understanding of the needs of individuals in crisis, providing a secure and supportive setting that promotes well-being. The center’s layout is thoughtfully planned to minimize stress and maximize tranquility, addressing both the practical and emotional needs of its users.

One of the most striking elements of the center is its incorporation of anti-ligature design. This approach ensures that all furnishings and fixtures are designed to prevent self-harm while maintaining a comfortable and inviting aesthetic.

The use of rounded edges, secure attachments, and tamper-resistant materials reflects a commitment to creating a secure environment where patients can focus on their recovery. The Kirkland center is more than just a place of treatment; it is a hub of support and healing.
