BMRC's physicians, nurses, therapists and other staff are committed to providing high-quality psychiatric and medical care that includes:

• Personalized recovery services for all clients;
• Client participation in individualized treatment planning;
• Promoting family involvement as appropriate to enhance recovery; and
• Partnering with community members to provide vocational, educational, social, recreational and spiritual opportunities.

Blue Mountain Recovery Center embraces the recovery model. The recovery model's aim is to enable clients to take charge of their lives and to live well with the least amount of professional intervention. Clients learn to manage their emotions in various settings, to avoid conflicts, use medications wisely, and avoid illicit drugs and alcohol.

About Blue Mountain Recovery Center

Located in the admission and treatment building of the former Eastern Oregon State Hospital, Blue Mountain Recovery Center was built in 1948. BMRC admits clients from all areas of the state and is the primary state hospital resource for Eastern Oregon. BMRC serves civilly committed individuals with severe and persistent mental illness who have been found to be a danger to themselves or others, or are unable to care for their basic needs due to a mental illness. In addition, BMRC provides care and treatment for a small number of forensic clients who have close family ties in Eastern Oregon.

Blue Mountain Recovery Center, a tobacco-free facility, has two residential units of 30 beds each. Sunrise has men and women, and Sunset is a men's unit.
