Hotel California by the Sea Bellevue offers addiction treatment services to youth, men and women trying to recover from substance misuse and co-occurring mental health disorders. They are located in Bellevue, Washington. Their levels of care include detox services, residential treatment and multiple outpatient programs. These outpatient programs vary in intensity, and they include partial hospitalization care and intensive outpatient care.
Their detox program, which is the first step to recovery, offers medication assisted treatment (MAT). This service alone can make a grand difference in your recovery because it lowers the chance of dangerous and uncomfortable withdrawal symptoms.
Their residential program is the next step in treatment because it offers 24/7 care from their team of medical professionals. They treat you by applying cognitive behavioral therapy, group therapy, and EMDR. The furnishings here are modern and updated, so you’ll feel right at home.
Their partial hospitalization program is the most intensive outpatient option. You’d be attending daily treatment sessions for several hours, with a big focus on relapse prevention.
Intensive outpatient care includes ongoing therapy, family counseling and career and education planning.
They have a career resources program that helps you regain your educational and professional footing, as well as a voluntary college program to assist you in enrolling in vocational programs.
They also have a life skills program and a job placement program to support you in finding work in the area. The life skills program can teach you valuable skills you can use in the real world. Their distinctive family program helps you connect closer with your loved ones.
Our Methodology
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.
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.
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.
Medicare is a federal program that provides health insurance for those 65 and older. It also serves people under 65 with chronic and disabling health challenges. To use Medicare for addiction treatment you need to find a program that accepts Medicare and is in network with your plan. Out of pocket costs and preauthorization requirements vary, so always check with your provider.

Medically Assisted Detox 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.
Many of those suffering from addiction also suffer from mental or emotional illnesses like schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, depression, or anxiety disorders. Rehab and other substance abuse facilities treating those with a dual diagnosis or co-occurring disorder administer psychiatric treatment to address the person's mental health issue in addition to drug and alcohol rehabilitation.
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.
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.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) is a modified form of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), a treatment designed to help people understand and ultimately affect the relationship between their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. DBT is often used for individuals who struggle with self-harm behaviors, such as self-mutilation (cutting) and suicidal thoughts, urges, or attempts. It has been proven clinically effective for those who struggle with out-of-control emotions and mental health illnesses like Borderline Personality Disorder.
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.
Clinicians who apply motivational interviewing techniques engage with their clients as equal partners. This method avoids warnings and confrontation and instead allows clients to analyze their situation and explore their options. This technique is often used when the client feels unsure about their ability or desire to change.
The goal of trauma therapy is to help you heal from the aftereffects of a traumatic experience. Your therapist will provide you with a safe and supportive space to process these trauma memories and develop better coping strategies that enhance your emotional resilience.
EMDR is a therapeutic modality originally developed to help process trauma. In an EMDR session, a patient is prompted to undergo eye movements that mimic those of REM sleep. This is accomplished by watching a therapist's finger move back and forth across, or following a bar of light. The goal is repetitive sets of eye movements that help the brain reprocess memory, which can significantly reduce the intensity of remembered traumatic incidents. Associated memories can heal simultaneously, leaving patients significantly calmer, more stable, and more emotionally relaxed.
Research clearly demonstrates that recovery is far more successful and sustainable when loved ones like family members participate in rehab and substance abuse treatment. Genetic factors may be at play when it comes to drug and alcohol addiction, as well as mental health issues. Family dynamics often play a critical role in addiction triggers, and if properly educated, family members can be a strong source of support when it comes to rehabilitation.
Participating in creative arts therapy in Washington does not require any skill in the arts. It's not about what you're creating. It is about the creative process. Options include writing, music, art, and dance therapies.
Experiential therapy in Washington is based on Gestalt therapy. This method emphasizes experiences over language and is founded on the philosophy that clients can't just think their way to recovery. They must feel and do. Therefore, experiential therapy supplements talk therapy with experiences, such as equine therapy, art, music, or adventure courses.

This organization is fantastic, they have such passionate and pleasant staff, I would very likely be dead if not been for their help. I can't express with words how grateful I'm for all they did for me. This place does not just change lives it saves them too.
I am truly grateful for my time at this rehab facility. From the moment I arrived, I felt supported and understood. The staff here are not only compassionate, but also highly equipped to help people in the critical early stages of recovery. They provide guidance, structure, and encouragement that makes the process feel possible even on the hardest days. One of the things that stood out most to me was how much emphasis they place on overall wellness, especially nutrition. The meals were thoughtfully prepared to promote healing, restore energy, and support both physical and mental recovery. It made a huge difference to know that what I was eating was part of my treatment and not just an afterthought. The medical team was also incredibly attentive. They addressed my needs promptly and ensured I always felt safe and cared for. Having that level of professional support allowed me to focus fully on my recovery. This rehab is not just a place for treatment—it’s a place where people can begin to rebuild their lives with dignity, care, and the right tools for lasting recovery.
I checked into Hotel California sicker than I realized. My intention was to get through detox and the following 28 days, and that was going to be it. The program, facilities as well as the staff are top notch. I decided to extend my program by another 28 days as I still had more to grasp and they helped me through that process. What’s great is they have an Outpatient program which I am going to continue from home. They helped me get through the entire process and have set me up with a great foundation in sobriety to re enter my life. Bottom line, is if you need help getting sober and setting you up to stay sober, I recommend calling Hotel California.
I went to Hotel California By The Sea in late January of 2025. I had just dealt with a very dysfunctional attempt at another facility out of state and was so scared to try another but I needed help badly. I was drinking heavily to the point that if I didn't drink enough to start my day, I was violently Ill. I can say I truly felt I couldn't be helped. And so I called Hotel. When I called they answered immediately and tried to get me in as soon as possible. Again, being my first stint in treatment I was terrified and nervous as all could be. But with my intake I knew immediately I was in great hands. The moment I said goodbye to my wife, I had no idea the real me would be coming back. They monitored and aided every single step of my withdrawal process, making it as easy as they could. Accomodations were spectacular and the nurses and staff were so friendly. But then it came time for me to decide if I was going to stay with the treatment or just leave after detox. There was absolutely ZERO pressure from the staff and help there, they just insisted I talk to my wife, who bless her soul convinced me I needed it. And so right then I let them know and they got me situated into a house with fellow patients to begin my healing journey. I stayed in the program they provide for 90 days. Everything with my work leave and payed leave Hotel took care of. They made it so that I didn't have to worry about the outside world, and that I could really focus on getting better. I am now 8 months sober and awaiting my first child, all of which I never would have thought possible while I was in my drinking dilemma. The care and attentiveness of the staff and medical professionals at Hotel California was unbelievable. Not only did I better my health, they helped me better every aspect of my life. Making that call to Hotel California By The Sea is hands down the greatest decision I've ever made in my life. Thank you Hotel....
Hotel California by the Sea, bellevue location. Best experience. It my first rehab experience. It’s going to be my first and last treatment. It’s crazy and sad because I wanna come back but that’s not how it works . It felt like summer camp being here in a good way. I’ve met so many wonderful people nothing but kind and sweet. Something I will take out of this experience that I definitely humble myself. Check myself in 06/06/25 been here all summer from detox, residential, PHP and now I’m doing IOP . Everything going in the right direction. Just hit my 80days sober date . Staff off the chain, Case Manager Therapist 10 out of 10. They’ve have help me with getting into sober living . absolutely loving my new home, I’m in a great place right now with the all the knowledge and tools I’ve learned from my experience being here. I’ve gotta say this was a 2nd chance from my higher power to get my life back in order. Definitely taking that chance for granted. It’s a new era of clean and sober. It’s the place to be physically mentally and spiritually.
I was wary about going but I knew I needed help. I was expecting jail but with bedrooms instead of cells, bad canned food and violent patients. That couldn’t be farther from the truth. Hotel California was great. I had medication assisted treatment and detox for a few days where I laid around, drew, played video games and watched tv. I was very dizzy and didn’t feel great but the nurses were very helpful for the most part. Then I transferred to residential treatment upstairs. I lost the en suite tv and the MAT, but gained about a dozen new housemates, who were really kind, intelligent and beautiful souls. There’s class every day, or group therapy - it could be described as either. The food was really good sometimes and I liked the sports drinks and apples juice always in the fridge for us. You get your phone back after detox. I got on the medications I needed for my untreated mental health condition. I haven’t wanted to use since I left. Having a therapist, psychiatrist and a case manager on my care team allowed for personalization of treatment. I made friends and stopped my addictive behavior. If you have the right insurance, it’s top notch.
Stop advertising urself as 24Hr care when u don’t reply to messages or calls. I’m in desperate need and this is who I called for help late at night and received nothing. I hate places like this and they will never ever contact me again. I just needed help, even with good insurance provided by my job… this is my absolute last straw to end it
This program, the welcoming and comforting and safe environment and compassionate care I received are worth all the stars in the sky. I can not say enough good things about my experience, but I will say if you are struggling and need help in a setting where your safety and comfort is priority and where you'll be treated with top notch care and dignity this is it. Everyone was/is amazing, accessible and so supportive during and after my stay. And Ginger was so much fun to have around over night and took such good care of me. Thank you, Ginger. Thank you also Adam for checking in on me! I feel better than I have in a long time thanks to you all and this program. Much love and gratitude!
Wonderful staff - felt particularly good when I left and would highly recommend it to anyone who needs a detox plan
My time at Hotel California was awesome!!! I learned so much about my disease from the counselors and techs and was treated for my disease with genuine care and concern. The facilities were top notch and groups were amazing!!! I would recommend Hotel California to anyone who wants to quit using and stay clean 100%!!!
Incredible Experience and incredible people. I checked myself into Hotel California By The Sea December 2024 due to my severe alcohol addiction. Enrolling in this program was like coming up for air after white knuckling my addiction and mental struggles for many years. From the moment you begin the in-take process, you are greeted with love and compassion. A foundational building block Hotel California By The Sea relies upon is that each individual is going through their own personal journey and it is to be respected. The care provided by Techs, Case Managers, Therapists and all who serve at the houses, - all work together to create a short and long-term goal plan. These goals help me re-establish my self worth, understand the "How's & Why's of my addition, and lay a foundation for post treatment living. One thing that really helped ease my anxiety was being able to work with my own case manager. We navigated through insurance issues, work related stressors and much more. Having someone I could work one on one with for things like these kept me calm during times of anxiety. They served as a steady person in my life that I could count on regardless of the issues. This incredible culture helped me create life long friendships with like minded friends who are enjoying their sobriety journey. I am proud to be a member of their alumni network, and always look forward to hearing from the best client Advocate in the business, Adam A. Would recommend to a friends - 5 Stars - Sam A.
I went to Hotel California by the Sea April-May 2025 in Costa Mesa,Cali. I appreciate the experience and learned a lot in the time I was there. I am 63 days sober. I am disappointed that staff that I worked with stated they would reach out to check on me when I got back to Washington, all I hear crickets. When they talk about caring and being honest, though I feel lied too on that aspect. I have faced many challenges since coming home and I have chosen not to use, though use the tools in my tool box to face those challenges. Big Dave stated I will call, nothing not one word from him. The case manager I had stated “great, hope you follow through” which wasn’t encouraging it feel very negative. Despite the staff, I am a successful case. When you say you care, you need to show that care after someone leaves treatment. I will do a shout to Chuck the therapist, amazing. Susan one of the techs, amazing. When it was my turn to leave, I felt very brushed off! Is it about the money that they want??? Starting to see why people keep bring that up! Shout out to Travis who I talked on the phone with, thank you for your kindness & encouragement.
I can't express how excellent my experience was at Hotel. I have been at other treatment facilities. I wish I would have been at Hotel first. They changed my life for the much better. Jeremy is their superstar!!! I can't thank them enough.
