MEDICAL SERVICES AND MEDICATION AT JUVENILE DETENTION

 

YOUTH MEDICATION MANAGEMENT

Wellpath is the main medical provider for the juvenile detention center. They handle all regular and emergency medical care, as well as medication for youth in custody.
Wellpath and Clark County Juvenile Detention work together to make sure medications are ordered correctly, stored safely, and given properly. They follow all state and federal laws when managing medications.
To prevent mistakes, all medication must come through Wellpath. We cannot accept medication from outside the facility. In rare cases, a Wellpath provider may approve an exception for a specific medication.

 

Medication Transfer Process

Nurse receives medication information
2nd
Medication will be verified with the pharmacy/ medical provider

*The process may take up to 48 hours to dispense the medication to youth.

 

How To Transfer Youth’s Medication Information:
  1. Complete the Medication Verification form and submit it to a Juvenile Detention staff member.
  2. Wellpath medical providers will review the medications listed on the form for verification, and a provider will then order them. Once Wellpath receives the medications, they will be administered to the youth.
  3. The form is also available in the detention center lobby.

YOUTH PRESCRIPTION MEDICATION AFTER RELEASE

 
Due to recent updates in our medical provider's prescription process, we want to make sure families are informed about how to access medications after a youth is released from detention.

            Walgreens Pharmacy
            2521 Main Street, Vancouver, WA 98660
          📞 (360) 693-2524
  • Prescriptions are typically available for pickup within 1 to 3 days after release.
