Intensive outpatient care allows you to live at home and stay committed to daily responsibilities while honing in on recovery. They provide expert backed approaches to help you recognize and achieve your recovery goals. Individual and group counseling, medication assisted treatment (MAT), life skills workshops, case management and customized ongoing care plans are available.
What stands out most to me is their court ordered services. You can access several programs for DUIs, misdemeanors and felony charges. Of these programs, the deferred prosecution one really stood out. This process postpones criminal charges so you can complete treatment. You can access individual counseling, case management and court advocacy. Once completing the program, your charges will often be dismissed. You’ll benefit from a second chance to improve your life and sustain recovery.
Another great feature that caught my eye was their Alcohol and Drug Information School. This program is for voluntary or court-ordered adults whose substance use isn’t considered addiction. You’ll benefit from early intervention services, like addiction education and assistance to make essential life changes. You can also participate in this program to reinstate your license after a DUI offense.
Lastly, I think their family programs are wonderful. Addiction is a familial disease that affects your loved ones as well. They provide a whole-family approach with educational lectures and support to rebuild your family unit. Virtual groups and in-person sessions are available at outpatient locations close by. You and your loved ones will benefit from learning to support and hold each other accountable throughout this journey.
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.

12-Step 
Aftercare Support 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.
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.
Substance rehabs focus on helping individuals recover from substance abuse, including alcohol and drug addiction (both illegal and prescription drugs). They often include the opportunity to engage in both individual as well as group therapy.
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.
Addiction research has determined that successful treatment of an addicted person ideally includes the education of family members. Just as the disease of addiction causes dysfunctional behaviors in the addict, so too does it have psychological, emotional, and spiritual effects on family members. Family education is a unique program that helps family members understand how they been affected by the disease of addiction and how they can participate in the recovery of their loved one.
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.

This center is being destroyed due to lack of communication, nothing is ever clear, everything is disorganized, they don't care about patients and they always give them wrong information, I won't be surprised that they will close soon if they continue operating in the same w ...
The staff here are compassionate and caring. They’ve provided the education, tools and resources that I needed to help me achieve my goals and sustain a successful career and to maintain my sobriety. I would never have imagined such a treatment center as wonderful as they have developed. Amazing people and an amazing organization
Great place to learn how deal with what problems and or addictions you have. And they’re willing to help you as much as YOU would like to be helped as well as going over and beyond. I’ve had a Great experience and would HIGHLY recommend this treatment center to anyone that is in need.l and would want a change.
Horrible absolutely horrible. Treated me like I was the worst thing to ever enter planet Earth made me feel like the most disgusting burden I’ve ever felt honestly the whole situation has had me suicidal much more since leaving then before I admitted myself there.
I found the IOP program exactly what I needed. Great Counselors that addressed my personal issues. All the Staff was very helpful and professional. The schedule allowed me flexibility in my personal life. Highly recommend this program for those needing an effective IOP.
Overall a great program that really has helped me get life together and focus on what’s important in my life and future. Slight downside is a particular individual staff member should really change his attitude towards patients he speaks with. Alcoholics/Addicts need compassion and help, not arrogance, attitude and indifference. Besides that my journey has my spirituality at an all time high compared to when I arrived.
I learned so much from their outpatient program. Dulcinea helped change my view on life and Gwen and Andrew have been great teachers. Marisa is awesome. Thanks yall.
Very great experience, I learned so much about not only addiction but about myself. Very informative and knowledgeable curriculum that gave me a well rounded understanding of alcohol/ drug addiction. Love the group dynamic and I looked forward to coming to class and sharing my life experiences and everything I have been learning. First time undergoing treatment but it has been life changing to say the least, highly recommend.
I’m currently in Phase 3 of my recovery journey at Lake Side Milam, and I couldn’t be more grateful for the support and guidance I’ve received here. I started my journey in Phase 1, feeling uncertain and overwhelmed, but the program has far exceeded my expectations in every way. The staff here, especially my counselor Dulcinea and Mrs. Guwen, have been instrumental in my growth. Dulcinea is compassionate, insightful, and truly understands what I’m going through. She’s provided me with the tools and mindset shifts I needed to start healing. Mrs. Guwen has also been a great support, offering valuable insights and helping me navigate tough moments. I feel safe and heard during every session, and that has made all the difference. The treatment team is incredibly supportive, and I’ve learned so much about myself through the process. Each phase of the program has been a stepping stone in rebuilding my life. The curriculum is thorough, and I’ve gained tools to manage my triggers, cope with emotions, and rebuild healthy relationships. I’m genuinely grateful for the opportunity to be here and would recommend Lake Side Milam to anyone who is ready to take their recovery seriously. It’s not just about stopping drinking; it’s about learning how to live a fulfilling life again, and I feel like I’m finally on the right track thanks to Lake Side Milam and the amazing team here
Everyone has been supportive at Lakeside Milam. Ms. Gwen has been terrific
Life changing!
Would recommend to anyone!
