Our Methodology
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.
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 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.
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.
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.
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 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.
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.
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.
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.

If it was possible I would be giving this hospital a 0 out of 10 review because that was exactly how it felt for me to receive treatment here. I don't recommend this place to anyone!
Lt doctor dismissive on 7th floor of mental health.
I’m so happy and glad that there is an Ophthalmology service here nearby. I live at NAS Whidbey Island, and even though the drive was far, the service was worth it. It took me a couple times to work with the right people who can do the perfect work that doesn’t require rework. Had to fill out some paperwork myself too. Not all staff members know the same thing. Certainly there’s a big knowledge gap among members within a bandwith of around 2 to 3 months after I come back for the same service. The galley here was good, offers good tasty food, though if you live on the Barracks and have your news taken out of your paycheck, it wouldn’t work here. In other words, you have to pay out-of-pocket. That’s the downside for living in different command and traveling here for a medical appointment. Meals are out of pocket and you may have to speak with a LPO.
If I could give negative stars I would. Clearly the military only cares about the enlisted. As a provider in Kitsap county, it is disturbing to see the lack of care that this hospital has towards their dependents and VA members. It's adequate if you're active duty though, but barely! This hospital refers you to the appointment line to make appointments for "talk" therapy and psychiatry, and they tell you that you can only make appointments virtually through "Dr on Demand" or "Talk Space". The incredibly honest and respectful psychiatrist that I spoke to at "talk space" let me know that while those services are great for connivence and for people who "ultimately just need a prescription refill" it is not meant for people who have recently been hospitalized for suicidal ideation and intention. So how does one go about getting a referral for in person appointments in Kitsap County? Well goo luck asking them, because they don't even know! I was supposed to have a referral put in for GYNO, that was a month ago. So I check the online patient portal every week leading up to this week and nothing new since 06/23/2205 and it's for "intensive outpatient program" that I have already finished! So then after almost a month I call referral management, yes the 888 number, and they tell me that they don't see any new referrals. So I call the hospital and wait for over an hour for someone to pick up the phone. Finally someone answers and is able to see a referral! So why and how can the same department but one being TriWest and one being at the actual hospital location not have the exact same information? This is GOVERNMENT LEVEL insurance and they can't even be on the same page? That's not alarming at all.... So, here's the question, if I can't access the referrals, and not one provider in Kitsap county can access the referrals, how does one get an appointment? Oh and don't forget, patient advocacy's phone number isn't being monitored during the government shutdown, so pretty much a guarantee you will not be helped unless you physically go into their office annnnnnd with referral management, the 360 number, you are told to leave a message because their office is "closed" even during their business hours of 0700-1500 and they don't give you the option to leave a voicemail! So again, how am I supposed to get the health care that I need as a dependent?
So sad to see what NHB had devolved into. We've been going there since 1999, it was our go to place for our whole family, and we had confidence in the service we received there. Now, it is hit or miss if you can get your issue resolved, and you are likely to wait for hours after your scheduled appointment time before being seen. Gone are the days of hoping to find a parking spot, as now, front row parking is always available and the staff seem to out number the patients. Such a waste of a facility which was full service and now struggles to handle even the most basic needs. It must be a disappointing, frustrating place for medical personnel to work at, it certainly is for a sad shadow of its former glory and unfortunately not a place we can rely on for efficient and effective care.
