This place was horrible! Here's a list why: 1. DIRTY DIRTY DIRTY! 2. they said my UA didn't have fentanyl in it lol when I was going there to detox from fentanyl. 3. They never asked me for ID like other places. 4. The medical staff are rude and very uneducated and loud when it trying to sleep 5. You can't wear ur own clothes or have ur own toiletries. They make u wear a nail uniform and jail shoes 6. I had a roommate vomit everywhere and they sent her to the hospital and never cleaned it up and told me to clean it up if I wanted my room clean. This place is soooooo u professional and disgusting. Jail is cleaner than this place. 8. They don't give u proper meds for detoxing. And they never check on you. The best thing about this place was the counselor that did my assessment. She was a black lady and I loved her. I wish I could remember her name.

Detoxing here is horrible. It's dirty.... They NEVER clean. Loud. Nurses are judgy and rude, get an attitude if you ask for hygiene products... I tried going here twice to detox off alcohol and left each time before my time was up, so disappointed and defeated.

Accepted Insurance

Recovery Center of King County works with several private insurance providers and also accepts private payments when possible, please contact to verify your specific insurance provider.

Other Forms of Payment

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.

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

medically-assisted-detox iconMedically Assisted Detox

Medical detox is often the first step in addiction recovery and involves ridding the body of drugs and/or alcohol in a supervised inpatient setting. If you've become physically dependent on substances like alcohol, benzodiazepines (like Xanax), or opioids, quitting abruptly may cause uncomfortable or even dangerous side effects. In medically assisted detox, a team of medical professionals will help manage any potential withdrawal symptoms with the aim of keeping you as safe and comfortable as possible.

inpatient iconInpatient

Inpatient rehab enables clients who are exiting detox or who are at an increased risk of relapse to focus on their recovery in a highly structured and supportive environment. Inpatient rehabs provide intensive clinical supervision and high-level treatment. Clients remain at the facility through the length of their program and typically receive multiple addiction counseling and education sessions per day. Holistic therapies, such as yoga, message, and meditation, may be used to relieve stress and ease discomfort.

partial-hospitalization iconPartial Hospitalization Program

With a partial hospitalization program (PHP), individuals can receive intensive rehab with the ability to return home each day. PHP treatment is often an alternative to inpatient hospitalization or a step-down option. PHP treatment typically requires at least 20 hours per week for approximately 90 days. Common components of PHP treatment plans include relapse prevention, medication management, and behavioral therapy services. Insurance coverage for PHP treatment is typically available, though coverage specifics depend on your insurance provider.

intensive-outpatient iconIntensive Outpatient

Intensive outpatient programs (IOP) are frequently used to facilitate clients' transition from inpatient to outpatient care. Clients who are more stable may also choose to enter IOP rather than a residential rehab following detox. Intensive outpatient treatment typically consists of nine to 20 therapeutic hours per week, with services ranging from psychotherapy to recovery education to holistic care. Many programs offer medication assisted treatment (MAT) for opioid and/or alcohol addiction.

outpatient iconOutpatient

Clients enrolled in an outpatient rehab program typically engage in multiple therapeutic sessions each week, but reside in their own homes and communities while receiving care. Outpatient treatment typically involves extensive addiction counseling, including family and group therapy. Most programs also emphasize recovery-focused life skills training and medical, mental health, and social support services to promote clients' sustained sobriety. Evening, night, weekend, and virtual services are widely available to accommodate the schedules of working professionals, students, and caregivers.

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.

Inpatient and outpatient drug and alcohol rehabs are typically the best option if you're looking for substance abuse treatment in Washington. These programs employ evidence-based therapies such as cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), and holistic approaches to help you overcome addiction, enhance your coping skills, and promote your mental health. Together, you'll learn the vital skills to support long-term sobriety and overall well-being.

Washington's specialized dual-diagnosis addiction treatment programs provide inpatient and intensive outpatient care for individuals with co-occurring substance use disorders and mental health conditions. Treatment generally includes psychiatric evaluations and individualized treatment planning, evidence-based therapies, mindfulness-based programming, and group therapy address both disorders and promote mental health. Treating both disorders simultaneously can improve long-term outcomes and sustain sobriety.

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.
program-for-men thumbnail image

Program For Men

Men face specific challenges and concerns when seeking addiction treatment. Gender-specific recovery programs help them tackle these issues head-on in an environment that's focused, targeted, and distraction-free. It also gives them the opportunity to connect with and learn from other men who have been through a similar journey and can offer support for the next step.
program-for-women thumbnail image

Program For Women

Rehabs for women provide a safe, nurturing space for female clients to heal. These treatment programs consider the specific obstacles that women can face during recovery and place a special emphasis on mental, social, physical, and reproductive health. They explore how each woman's experience has shaped the trajectory of their substance use, addressing issues such as sexual abuse and past trauma.

Clinical Services

Whether a marriage or other committed relationship, an intimate partnership is one of the most important aspects of a person's life. Drug and alcohol addiction affects both members of a couple in deep and meaningful ways, as does rehab and recovery. Couples therapy and other couples-focused treatment programs are significant parts of exploring triggers of addiction, as well as learning how to build healthy patterns to support ongoing sobriety.

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.

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.

Often, substance use disorder originates with negative thinking patterns. Cognitive behavioral therapy in Washington is designed to help individuals change these patterns of thought, which leads to changes in behavior and freedom from addiction.

Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) is a highly structured form of therapy that teaches skills to help participants change negative thoughts and behaviors. Applying a philosophy of acceptance and change, you'll learn and practice these skills to break unhealthy patterns and establish healthy ones.

Entering there is like intake at a jail. No personal clothes or belongings, or meds. The worst was that there's no one-on-one counseling during the severe anxiety of detox. I was expected to share my negative feelings with a staff person at the main desk where the world could listen. No staff offered to speak with me while I was clearly agitated. As a former counselor myself, I was angry and disappointed by this. Not even 15 minutes of one-on-one during the most physically and emotionally painful parts of recovery!

My fiance was there for detox. All was well except the medical side. Doctors need better training on taking away meds that need tapering off which sent her to the ER. Nurses need better training and slow down on the intake process and make sure they understand medical issues and allergies. They dont do well with letting loved ones know on request of statuses. They need an over haul on how they do things.

I wish I could give less stars. I’m an addict. I’ve been an addict for some time. I know what I am, who I am and most importantly, I know my own value. Yes even as an addict, I still have personal and social value. So, when I was admitted, it was training day for staff in their new positions. As an employee and past employer, I know the need for proper training. And as an addict I know that having to sit through a training situation, while in complete withdrawal, listening to one employee tell the other employee how to do, what to do and when to do it even though on a normal day it surely doesn’t get done like that, is the worst way for an addict to get started with treatment. I was the first client (sucker) to be admitted on that day. My time with the ladies at the front desk (Jo, Joyce and the one other young lady who’s name I forgot) was absolutely the only time that I felt like someone actually cared about me and what I might be going through. Dr. Than was nice as well as being very informative and seemed genuinely concerned about the course of action I was taking. In the end we came to an agreement and he had some notes listed in my file so that I could be properly medicated when the time came. Even with his forward thinking and planning it needed up just being wasted time. The nurses told me straight up that they do not do what the doctor said can be done for me. Comfort meds are given if you ask for them. If you ask more than once you get talked to like you’re a third grader. And if you try to explain anything, you are immediately cut off mid sentence and berated by the very people who are supposed to be showing compassion and guidance through this tough situation that we voluntarily put ourselves in. I was repeatedly called a childish grown man by a man (the SUDP) with terrible communication skills, lacking empathy all while acting like it was his way or the highway. And the assessments only take 5-10mins. What the???? The best part about it was that I wasn’t even trying to talk to him. I wanted to talk to my nurse but he just kept butting in every time my nurse or myself tried to speak. Oh dear lord I was interrupting the 10 minute staff meeting where care directives are discussed for the patients. There were 20 of us that day so that is literally only 30 seconds per patient. I started asking about meds before they even came on shift. The first time I was stiffed and didn’t get anything. The second time I was given meds that didn’t even put a dent in my withdrawals so the third time I figured I would try to make my case known because I was trying to come off of over a 100mgs of methadone and get totally clean and sober and Dr Than had given special directives for my care and if I could just finish what I was trying to say then maybe it would have gone different. I stayed almost 48hrs and in that time I was only given comfort meds twice. When I attempted to try and get the medicine that Dr. Than said I could have in the amount of time that was told to me I was told that they don’t do things that way and that I was going to have to wait. I mean I get it, I came to their facility, asking for help and knowingly gave control of myself to other people, who are supposed to be professionals and all I got was more sick. All I got was a lack of compassion when it was pretty clear that I was having a very difficult time. All I got were rude looks and even more rude communication by a group of people who are supposed to be there to help not hinder. Our mission is to empower and enrich our communities through comprehensive mental health and substance use treatment, one individual at a time. Valley Cities vision is to set the standard for behavioral healthcare through our commitment to inclusion, pursuing excellence, and fostering innovation. We aspire to be the beacon of hope, offering access to care and aiming to be the employer of choice committed to making a meaningful difference in the lives of others. They are so far from the mark oh and LPN Deqa was compassionate and nice also
