About American Behavioral Health Systems – ABHS

American Behavioral Health Systems (ABHS) offers addiction recovery services in various locations throughout Washington state. This location is their Eastern Washington Headquarters in Spokane Valley. Staff at the headquarters facility can refer clients to the appropriate care location depending on their needs.

Treatment locations are in Chehalis, Spokane, and Wenatchee. ABHS recovery services include secure acute withdrawal management and residential treatment. They have crisis stabilization for clients in Wenatchee. The programs accept insurance, including Native American funding sources, Apple Health, and Department of Corrections funding.

Three Tier Inpatient Treatment Programs in Chehalis and Wenatchee

The programs offered through ABHS include a three tier program that starts with detoxification. It includes residential treatment and intensive inpatient programs.

The programs are available to voluntary and involuntary clients. This is a withdrawal program for clients dependent on opioids, alcohol, amphetamines, barbiturates, and other types of substances.

The program includes medication assisted treatment (MAT) to safely manage acute symptoms. Medical staff may prescribe additional medications to reduce your discomfort. Most people are in the acute withdrawal program for 7-10 days.

While in the program, clients receive substance use counseling and individual and group therapy. Case managers help clients navigate treatment.

Customized Residential Treatment Programs in Washington State

There are several residential treatment program locations. Residential treatment may be as short as 15 days or as long as 180 days depending on your unique needs. You’ll have a customized treatment plan and be in a supportive and therapeutic community.

You’ll receive fully integrated treatment so your physical and mental health will be treated simultaneously. The intensive program includes chemical dependency services between 5 and 20 hours per week.

The program provides clients with co occurring disorders the tools they need to manage both their mental and physical health. Treating co occurring disorders simultaneously is crucial because mental health disorders may hinder a successful addiction recovery.

Specialized Supportive Services

American Sign Language and bilingual services are available, and the centers facilitate in-house court hearings if necessary. Additionally, clients have access to personal trainers in a fitness facility to work on their physical health.

Took my 10 year old daughter with me to go see her dad. Visiting was in a hallway. We had a milk crate for a table. There was nothing for a family to do. Thankfully, he brought his own paper and color pencils for them. The hallway was small and very dreary. It's not a family environment at all. Was told I couldn't leave money for him. That I'd have to bring it back on Monday. Which I can not do. I also called a couple of days before and asked about this and made sure we had money for a vending machine for snacks.i handed him money to go to the common room to get snacks for all of usnand got in trouble for it. Apparently, it's only for the residents. Not accesible to visitors. We drove two hours for an hour visit that was extremely uncomfortable and disappointing. The lady supervising us(Mrs. Nicholas) made everyone in there uncomfortable with her hovering. And her I'm better than you attitude. She could have stood at the beginning of the hall and saw everyone and mo stored just fine. Instead, she was so close and staring so much that even my daughter said she didn't want to go back. It was very much not needed. Instead of having a good visit and keeping everyones spirits up, it was miserable. Something needs to be done to make it better. We are in a rehabilitation center, not a prison!! Honestly, visitation at the prison was more family orientated and comfortable than this place was. I would not recommend this center to anyone. If I could give it no stars, I would.

My name is Mikel Therien and I wanted to say thank you to all the Amazing people that work there. I am about to hit 6 years off of drugs and out of the system because of ABHS. I have custody of my children back, and just purchased my own home. It takes time and hard work but you guys made it all possible again. I know for a fact I would be in prison today without your help, and now I'm living my dreams again! Thank you

Other Forms of Payment

Private insurance refers to any kind of healthcare coverage that isn't from the state or federal government. This includes individual and family plans offered by an employer or purchased from the Insurance Marketplace. Every plan will have different requirements and out of pocket costs so be sure to get the full details before you start treatment.

Self-pay involves paying for treatment out of your own pocket. You can use savings or credit, get a personal loan, or receive help from family and friends to fund your treatment. If you don't have insurance or your insurance plan doesn't cover a specific program, self-pay can help ensure you still get the care you need.

Financial aid can take many forms. Centers may have grants or scholarships available to clients who meet eligibility requirements. Programs that receive SAMHSA grants may have financial aid available for those who need treatment as well. Grants and scholarships can help you pai for treatment without having to repay.

Medicaid is a state based program that helps lower-income individuals and families pay for healthcare. Medicaid covers addiction treatment so those enrolled can use their coverage to pay for rehab. When a program accepts Medicaid the client often pays very little or nothing out of their own pocket.

Military members, veterans, and eligible dependents have access to specific insurance programs that help them get the care they need. TRICARE and VA insurance can help you access low cost or no cost addiction and mental health treatment. Programs that accept military insurance often have targeted treatment focused on the unique challenges military members, veterans, and their families face.

Addiction Treatments

Levels of Care

inpatient iconInpatient
Residential treatment programs are those that offer housing and meals in addition to substance abuse treatment. Rehab facilities that offer residential treatment allow patients to focus solely on recovery, in an environment totally separate from their lives. Some rehab centers specialize in short-term residential treatment (a few days to a week or two), while others solely provide treatment on a long-term basis (several weeks to months). Some offer both, and tailor treatment to the patient's individual requirements.
outpatient iconOutpatient
Outpatient Programs (OP) are for those seeking mental rehab or drug rehab, but who also stay at home every night. The main difference between outpatient treatment (OP) and intensive outpatient treatment (IOP) lies in the amount of hours the patient spends at the facility. Most of the time an outpatient program is designed for someone who has completed an inpatient stay and is looking to continue their growth in recovery. Outpatient is not meant to be the starting point, it is commonly referred to as aftercare.
intensive-outpatient iconIntensive Outpatient
Intensive Outpatient Programs (IOP) are for those who want or need a very structured treatment program but who also wish to live at home and continue with certain responsibilities (such as work or school). IOP substance abuse treatment programs vary in duration and intensity, and certain outpatient rehab centers will offer individualized treatment programs.
medically-assisted-detox iconMedically Assisted Detox
Drug and alcohol addiction often takes a heavy toll on one's body. Over time, a physical dependence can develop, meaning the body physiologically needs the substance to function. Detox is the process of removing drugs and/or alcohol from the body, a process that can be lethal if mismanaged. Medical detox is done by licensed medical professionals who monitor vital signs and keep you safe, healthy, and as comfortable as possible as you go through detox and withdrawal.
12-step icon12-Step
12-step programs are addiction recovery models based on Alcoholics Anonymous (AA). A number of substance abuse programs (including some drug and alcohol rehab centers) use the 12 steps as a basis for treatment. Beginning steps involve admitting powerlessness over the addiction and creating a spiritual basis for recovery. Middle steps including making direct amends to those who've been hurt by the addiction, and the final step is to assist others in addiction recovery in the same way. 12-Step offshoots including Narcotics Anonymous (NA), Cocaine Anonymous (CA), Dual Recovery Anonymous (DRA), Sex and Love Addicts Anonymous (SLAA) and Gamblers Anonymous (GA).
aftercare iconAftercare Support
Completing a drug or alcohol rehab program shouldn't spell the end of substance abuse treatment. Aftercare involves making a sustainable plan for recovery, including ongoing support. This can include sober living arrangements like halfway houses, career counseling, and setting a patient up with community programs like Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) or Narcotics Anonymous (NA).

Treatments

The goal of treatment for alcoholism is abstinence. Those with poor social support, poor motivation, or psychiatric disorders tend to relapse within a few years of treatment. For these people, success is measured by longer periods of abstinence, reduced use of alcohol, better health, and improved social functioning. Recovery and Maintenance are usually based on 12 step programs and AA meetings.

Effective drug rehab in Washington integrates care for the whole person, offering comprehensive solutions to addiction. Treatment methods address mental, physical, and relational aspects of substance abuse.

A combined mental health and substance abuse rehab has the staff and resources available to handle individuals with both mental health and substance abuse issues. It can be challenging to determine where a specific symptom stems from (a mental health issue or an issue related to substance abuse), so mental health and substance abuse professionals are helpful in detangling symptoms and keeping treatment on track.

Opioid rehabs specialize in supporting those recovering from opioid addiction. They treat those suffering from addiction to illegal opioids like heroin, as well as prescription drugs like oxycodone. These centers typically combine both physical as well as mental and emotional support to help stop addiction. Physical support often includes medical detox and subsequent medical support (including medication), and mental support includes in-depth therapy to address the underlying causes of addiction.

Programs

adult-program thumbnail image
Adult Program
Adult rehab programs include therapies tailored to each client's specific needs, goals, and recovery progress. They are tailored to the specific challenges adult clients may face, including family and work pressures and commitments. From inpatient and residential treatment to various levels of outpatient services, there are many options available. Some facilities also help adults work through co-occurring conditions, like anxiety, that can accompany addiction.
military-program thumbnail image
Military Program
Serving in the military is both mentally and physically challenging, and can result in trauma that persists even after combat ends. Military programs are tailored to the specific and often complex needs of active duty personnel, veterans, and military families. Clients often access these programs through the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA).
young-adult-program thumbnail image
Young Adult Program
Young adulthood can be an exciting, yet difficult, time of transition. Individuals in their late teens to mid-20s face unique stressors related to school, jobs, families, and social circles, which can lead to a rise in substance use. Rehab centers with dedicated young adult programs will include activities and amenities that cater to this age group, with an emphasis on specialized counseling, peer socialization, and ongoing aftercare.

Clinical Services

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a therapy modality that focuses on the relationship between one's thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. It is used to establish and allow for healthy responses to thoughts and feelings (instead of unhealthy responses, like using drugs or alcohol). CBT has been proven effective for recovering addicts of all kinds, and is used to strengthen a patient's own self-awareness and ability to self-regulate. CBT allows individuals to monitor their own emotional state, become more adept at communicating with others, and manage stress without needing to engage in substance abuse.

Group therapy is any therapeutic work that happens in a group (not one-on-one). There are a number of different group therapy modalities, including support groups, experiential therapy, psycho-education, and more. Group therapy involves treatment as well as processing interaction between group members.

In individual therapy, a patient meets one-on-one with a trained psychologist or counselor. Therapy is a pivotal part of effective substance abuse treatment, as it often covers root causes of addiction, including challenges faced by the patient in their social, family, and work/school life.

Life skills trainings involve all the skills a person must have in order to function successfully in the world. These include time management, career guidance, money management, and effective communication. Truly successful addiction recovery is based on the ability to not only live substance-free, but to thrive. Life skills teaches the practical necessities of functioning in society, which sets clients up for success in life, and therefore sobriety.

Moral Reconation Therapy (MRT) is a modality based on strengthening moral reasoning, that can be used in substance abuse treatment. Originally created to help criminal offenders stop committing crimes, it is a structured approach that includes both group and individual counseling, as well as homework exercises. The MRT workbook is structured around 16 steps (units) focusing on 7 treatment issues, including building a healthy, positive identity; developing a higher frustration tolerance; and forming a strong moral belief structure. Participants meet 1-2 times weekly in groups, and can complete all steps of the MRT program in 3-6 months.

Motivational Interviewing (MI) is a clinical approach to helping people with substance abuse issues and other conditions shift behavior in positive ways. It is more goal-oriented than traditional psychotherapy, as MI counselors directly attempt to get clients to consider making behavioral change (rather than wait for them to come to conclusions themselves). Its primary purpose is to resolve ambivalence and help clients become able to make healthy choices freely.

Staff are very helpful and caring. They are very quick about doing things here. The food is decent, they should feed more but it's enough. They will work with patients/clients if they are struggling with being in treatment here. Don't come here if you're not willing to dig within yourself and get the pain out, as in "get it off your chest". My counselor was hard working, understanding and very helpful during my treatment here

Staff was nice, however understaffed majority of the time. Mr. Preston the administrative director will threaten to send you back to prison if you are court ordered and talk to you like your a real piece of ****. They pack you in small rooms and make grown adults climb up bunk beds to maximize profits unconcerned about comfortability. Lack of a thorough search when coming into facility makes risk and probability of street drugs entering facility highly probable and certain. When you see the director you really can tell all he cares about is money. If able to go anywhere else for treatment take it.

I just attended this place for over two weeks to get better from my multiple addictions. They treated me and many, many other amazing clients (inmates more like it) like absolute trash, and both me and a friend I met while we were both getting kicked out were basically screwed over… he was kicked out for simply getting into an argument with staff, whereas I had just bummed a few cigarettes to my friends basically, as well as having had a few completely non-aggressive emotional outbursts the beginning half of my stay, mostly because of the poor treatment and prison-like atmosphere. We were both doing really great otherwise and were well on our way to full recovery, and then they literally screwed us both over and made us homeless… lol Gonna miss all of the amazing friends I met in there… :,( plus, I’m positive this place got me sick… I honestly hope this place gets shut down. Also, Mrs. Brown is one of the most narcissistic, emotionally abusive and all-around despicable human pieces of garbage I have ever met… Don’t go here. lol
