Daybreak Sues State Over Facility Shutdown | Spokane News

Daybreak Youth Services, a vital provider for teens battling addiction, is suing Washington’s Department of Health after being forced to shut down in 2023 — claiming they followed federal privacy laws and were unfairly targeted. Seeking $80–100 million to cover legal fees and rebuild, they aim to reopen a center for vulnerable youth, especially Medicaid patients, whose care was left in chaos. Once operating two specialized clinics serving 92 beds, Daybreak now fights to restore their mission — as the state’s own legal cases against them have collapsed, including a death ruling and dismissed criminal charges. They call it a travesty that a facility helping kids was shut down when the evidence against them crumbled. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
