About Hotel California by the Sea

Hotel California by the Sea, located in Bellevue, Washington, offers medical detox, residential alcohol and drug rehab, partial hospitalization programs (PHPs), and intensive outpatient programs (IOPs) for men, women, and young adults. Services include dual-diagnosis treatment, education and career support, medication-assisted treatment (MAT), and aftercare support.

Medical detox allows Hotel California by the Sea patients to be monitored 24/7 and receive medical care to help manage withdrawal symptoms. Sometimes this care includes FDA-approved medication that helps reduce cravings. These medications can be continued throughout residential care to manage cravings and lower the chance of relapse.

Residential treatment services include individual, group, and family therapy; education on the impact of addiction; life-skills training; medication management; and relapse prevention. Approaches include cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavioral therapy (DBT), and other evidence-based techniques.

The PHP is a full-time day program, and the IOP meets for several hours per session, several days per week. In both cases, participants live at home outside of treatment. Services are the same as residential treatment. When treatment is complete, Hotel California by the Sea offers aftercare services such as referrals to sober housing, connections to 12 Step and SMART recovery programs, and alumni programs.

Hotel California by the Sea accepts most insurance plans, such as Humana, Cigna, Blue Cross Blue Shield, United Healthcare, Beacon, Magellan Health, and Ambetter. Each insurance plan is unique, so be sure to contact your insurer to verify out-of-network benefits and other coverage information.

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.

It’s hard to put into words the gratitude I have for Hotel California and its staff and treatment programs. It took me a couple tries, but I finally decided to participate and take the help I was being offered and in a month I will celebrate 4 years clean. The combination of substance abuse education, mental physical and emotional health therapy they provide is top tier. My life has changed in ways I never imagined and it all started with the love, personal care and faith that the staff at Hotel California so graciously offered to me. I never felt like a client or number, my wellbeing was clearly a priority to all my counselors, health care team and staff. I will forever be indebted to Hotel.

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.

Addiction Treatments

Levels of Care

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.
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. As one of the first steps in the recovery process, the idea of detox can feel intimidating and even unsurmountable. Many patients fear discomfort of the detox process, especially after abusing substances for perceived comfort for so long. That is why they make the detoxification process from alcohol, prescription drugs, and opiates as comfortable as possible for their women. Although detoxification is a necessary process in the road to recovery, they understand the importance of making this step to recovery as controlled and comfortable as possible.
heart-hands iconIntervention Services
Intervention services helps family or friends of addicts stage an intervention, which is a meeting in which loved ones share their concerns and attempt to get an addict into treatment. Professional intervention specialists can help loved ones organize, gather, and communicate with an addict. They can guide intervention participants in describing the damage the addict's behavior is causing and that outside help is necessary to address the addiction. The ideal outcome of an intervention is for the addict to go to rehab and get the help they need.
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.
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).

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.

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.

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.
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

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.

Trauma therapy addresses traumatic incidents from a client's past that are likely affecting their present-day experience. Trauma is often one of the primary triggers and potential causes of addiction, and can stem from child sexual abuse, domestic violence, having a parent with a mental illness, losing one or both parents at a young age, teenage or adult sexual assault, or any number of other factors. The purpose of trauma therapy is to allow a patient to process trauma and move through and past it, with the help of trained and compassionate mental health professionals.

When I came to hotel California all I could see for my future was death and dispare. I was in the most horrific state I’d even been in through my addiction. Hotel California saved my life and I’m still sober to this day. Inpatient PHP and iop for 4 months changed my life. I now picture a beautiful future with my family. Also huge shout out to mark my case manager for all he did for me.

Hotel California is a god send. No rehab is perfect, but they come pretty close. Google reviews are what made me give them a chance in 2019, when perusing the endless options for chemical dependency treatment. Making the decision is a very tough one to make. Glad I chose Hotel California.

Hotel California in Bellevue saved me from myself. They are by far the best treatment facility I have been to! (Believe me, I did the research 4 times, but this was the last) From the moment they pick you up, you are treated with kindness and respect! The staff went above and beyond to support and help me! It's hard work and takes more than treatment to recover! This is the place to start. If not for this place I would not have 4 1/2 years in recovery. I would give it 10 stars!

I checked myself in to Hotel California by the Sea in Bellevue, WA on July 1st 2024 for the 90 day rehabilitation program for alcoholism. It was one of the toughest decisions I've ever had to make, but I'm so glad I did! The intake process was smooth and easy, they walk you through the process and keep your mind at ease! Everyone was so kind and incredibly happy to help people get their lives back on track! The accommodations were very nice, although a bit cramped at times, but overall had everything one would need. The food was fantastic throughout the entire program! I really liked the fact that that, aside from the detox period, you were able to have access to your phone, computer, TV, electronics in general and have the ability to stay in contact with loved ones outside of the program! At first there are quite a few restrictions but that was necessary for ones sobriety to truly take hold. Over time, those restrictions became more lenient! The fellow clients I lived with during my time there were awesome! I made quite a few friends and HCBTS does a great job bring clients together with various gatherings and events, pizza parties, fun outings like bowling, movies, going to the park, etc. Plus they were always open to suggestions for other fun things to do! The educational side of the program was tremendous! They have so many knowledgable specialists from therapists to doctors, rehab technicians to program directors! I learned so much about my mind and body with how addiction affects us over time! The coping mechanisms they teach you are so valuable and can be taken with you and used throughout your lifelong sobriety journey! The meetings they take you to are very good! CA, NA, AA and any other 12-step programs one might suggest. I even attended CODA, SA and GA meetings from time to time to get different prespectives on addiction! As I write this review I am 211 days sober and going strong! I will be forever greatful for everything HCBTS has done for me! Would highly recommend!!! Special shout out to Aaron for continuing to check in on me even after I had graduated the program, thank you!!

This is a great program. I cannot stress that enough. My personal journey towards lasting sobriety has been a long one. This is the only program that I have ever attended that has equipped me in such a way that I feel wholly prepared to face, not just sobriety, but life as a whole. For those on the fence let me just say that this program... 1. Has well trained staff and support staff. From the people who pick you up and cook your meals to the highest levels of admin. 2. The therapists and case managers CARE about you and what they do. Very professional, yet they have real empathy and understanding of the addict's situation. That is not a balancing act I have seen done as well anywhere else. 3. This is a dual diagnosis facility. You WILL receive the most holistic care for your body, mind, and soul. 4. This is a safe and friendly facility. ALL are welcome here. 5. The staff here will not give up on you (special shout out to Jani), but like anywhere or any aspect of recovery, you have to want to get better. 6. The food. Of course, not every meal is your favorite thing. That is too big of a feat to accomplish when cooking for any group of people. But you can rest assured the food is healthy and I was personally very happy. 7. This is not a program that leaves you abandoned once you complete. They have a robust alumni community, and you will be supported if you are willing to stay in contact. 8. The living spaces and accommodations are really, really, great. Don't take my word on it. Take a tour. I could go on and on and I am sure there are aspects that I forgot to touch on. All this to say you have found the program you or your loved one needs and will have the best chance of success at.

Response from the ownerInvalid relative date format:
Thank you so much for sharing your experience! We're beyond grateful to have been part of your journey to lasting sobriety, and it's wonderful to hear that our staff, support, and holistic approach have made such an impact. Your thoughtful words truly capture the essence of what we strive for in every aspect of our program. We're so proud of all the progress you've made and are excited to continue supporting you through the next steps of your recovery. Wishing you continued strength and success!
