About Burien Lakeside Milam Recovery Center
Located in Seattle, Washington, Burien Lakeside Milam Recovery Center was a residential inpatient facility that provided addiction treatment for adolescents. Now closed, the center was just 20 minutes away from Downtown Seattle. Clients at this center would receive an assessment to determine if the inpatient program was appropriate for their needs. If an individual needed medical detoxification, they could be treated at the Kirkland Facility before proceeding with residential treatment.
Positive Influence of a New Peer Group
Burien Lakeside Milam Recovery Center understood that peers often influence adolescent clients to use substances. The facility believed that an important part of treatment was exposing a client to a peer group that believed in a better way of thinking and acting. They designed the milieu at the adolescent unit to promote better living and influence patients in the facility to choose to do the same.
A Structured Routine to Instill Discipline
The facility recognized that similar to adults, adolescents could be less self disciplined as a result of their addiction. That’s why they created a structured routine to help their clients return to a more disciplined and substance free lifestyle. The schedule would include group counseling, education, recreation and exposure to 12 Step programs.
Maintaining Academic Success
While clients were receiving their treatment, tutoring provided by a local school district was available to continue the client’s involvement with school work. The tutor would also help make the client’s transition back into their grade level as smooth as possible.

Addiction Treatments
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.

Clinical Services
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.
