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.

Blue Cross Blue Shield

Oxford Health Plans

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.

Addiction Treatments

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.

Programs

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

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

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.

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

This is a dangerous place to go if you are seeking help. I was admitted to the upstairs rehab and immediately knew I had made a mistake. My first day the assigned me to a counselor who during our first “group” was not aware that I a new patient was assigned to her group and then shuffled me to the other counselor. The next day the second counselor didn’t remember who I was and insisted I was supposed with be with the other group. For the first week this happened. They give you a packet of inane repetitive questions and 90% of the day is spent working on these packets, never any guidance. In the two weeks I was there I NEVER once spoke to an individual/counselor/staff member one on one to discuss why I was there. Just more packet work. The staff there are apathetic, Sue the night manager would berate us as a group each night over certain individuals behavior, yet she was providing contraband like takis, hot sauce and candy to one of the patients there who roomed next door and would come through the shared bathroom and show what Sue brought him. The food is inedible, and often under cooked…even hotdogs are served cold. We were allowed outside for 10 minutes exactly twice in my two weeks there. When it was my weekly turn to clean the facilities again, the other patients who were the night staff favorites were allowed to skip it, overheard them saying “don’t wake them up they’ve had a long day.” So of the four people assigned to clean on my day I was the only one. In short, do not go here. The staff is apathetic. The counselors are apathetic and don’t want a case load that would have to make them exert any effort. The place is run on favoritism, rules are broken by staff. The overnight staff is extremely unprofessional and unkind, Sue would berate the entire group then dive into her personal problems at home and tell everyone about her son being in legal problems for killing someone and that she didn’t want to be there. The only saving grace is Allan, who is a kind soul and was the only person who apologized to me on my way out. The director was Kai, and he was defeated and said he understood. He didn’t even try to rationalize it or defend it. He just signed my papers so I could leave. It is a disgrace and does a disservice to those in actual need of help. Do yourself an favor and do deep research into a place your entrust with your care, this place is not it. I am angry because they wasted my time when all I needed was help.

Wouldn't recommend this place to my worst enemy. When I checked in I told them in no uncertain terms that I was prone to stomach bleeding, so no Tylenol. I told them I could not take benzos because I was over prescribed them as a kid. For the 30 hours I was there, all they did was feed me Valium and Tylenol till I was too messed up to stand and in so much stomach pain I couldn't sleep. Checked out and then had to deal with Benson withdrawal and internal bleeding for days. This place is NOT SAFE.

Came in to detox for 6 days .. . I didn't like the environment the moment I walked into the facility ...the admissions person (Steve )was VERY rude and uncompassionate towards me .. acted like he hated his job and was incompetent with answering my questions about the facility and the overall care that I was going to receive for this would have been my first time at this facility. After I got admitted I was just thrown into a dirty cold room with 2 other women that were detoxing. ..and who ended up eventually leaving the same day due to poor structure and lack of care in the facility... Although they addressed these concerns with me ..I was still willing to stay to see for myself because I wanted to stay clean .... overtime I seen that MOST staff are extremely rude ... Lack proper communication skills and compassion...for not just myself but for other patients ....the nurses will just give you meds to keep you sleep and out of it for a few days ...then send you on your way ... Most of the time I had to keep asking what my medications were and what side effects did they pertain ...and of course none of nurses or doctors I had were able to address those questions .......I won't be returning . Upper management has some extreme work to do when it comes to the staff here and the facility overall .
