Eastern Washington's provider shortage

Spokane is Eastern Washington's largest city and medical hub — but even here, the gap between demand for behavioral health services and available provider capacity is significant. Washington State's Health Professional Shortage Area designations cover substantial portions of Eastern Washington for mental health, and the practical experience of Spokane residents seeking psychiatric care mirrors what these designations suggest: long waits, limited providers, and a system that is not built for the pace at which people need help.

For addiction medicine specifically, Eastern Washington faces challenges that are partly geographic and partly systemic. The distance from Puget Sound — where most of the state's healthcare concentration sits — means that specialty providers are fewer, waitlists are longer, and patients who cannot get timely care go without it.

Rezolv Health is a practice that serves Eastern Washington by telehealth. For a Spokane patient, this means access to the same level of care as a patient in Seattle — without the five-hour drive. Same-week appointments, commercial insurance billing, and evidence-based medication treatment.

The telehealth advantage in Spokane

Telehealth is not a lesser version of in-person care for addiction medicine and psychiatric medication management — it is a different delivery format with real advantages. Research consistently shows that telehealth-delivered MAT and psychiatric medication management produce outcomes equivalent to in-person care. For patients in Spokane — where the in-person alternative may involve long waitlists and limited options — telehealth is often better in practice, because it is what is actually available quickly.

A Spokane patient who needs buprenorphine for opioid use disorder does not have to wait six weeks for a face-to-face appointment. They fill out an intake form, schedule a video visit within days, and have a prescription in hand by the end of the week. That speed has clinical consequences — it meets patients when they are ready to act, rather than after weeks of waiting during which readiness can erode.

Frequently asked questions

Why is there such a long wait for psychiatric care in Spokane? Eastern Washington has a documented shortage of psychiatric and mental health providers relative to its population. Many providers are operating at capacity and not accepting new patients, or have wait times of several months. Telehealth providers licensed in Washington can serve Spokane patients without being physically located in Spokane — which significantly expands the effective provider pool available to Eastern Washington residents.

Does Rezolv Health serve rural communities in Eastern Washington? Yes. Telehealth serves any Washington State resident with commercial insurance and access to a phone or computer with a camera. Patients in Cheney, Colville, Pullman, Colfax, Dayton, and other Eastern Washington communities are eligible.

What insurance does Rezolv Health accept in Spokane? Commercial insurance (employer-sponsored plans and private marketplace plans) and Washington Apple Health (Medicaid). We do not currently accept Medicare in Washington State.

Do you treat Kratom addiction in Spokane? Yes. Rezolv Health Washington offers physician-supervised Kratom addiction treatment for Spokane and Eastern Washington patients. Kratom dependence is undertreated across the region — we provide medical withdrawal management and a structured cessation plan by telehealth.

Can I see Rezolv Health while also seeing a local therapist in Spokane? Yes. Rezolv Health manages medication. If you are seeing a local counselor or therapist in Spokane for talk therapy, we can coordinate with them if you wish, or operate independently. You do not need to choose one or the other.

Is Eastern Washington different from Western Washington for telehealth eligibility? No. Telehealth eligibility in Washington State is the same regardless of which side of the Cascades you are on. The provider is licensed in Washington State, and that license covers the entire state.
