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.
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.
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.
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.
A partial hospitalization program (PHP) is a short-term form of intensive rehab, usually for those with acute symptoms that are hard to manage but don’t require 24-hour care. PHPs have structured programming (i.e. individual and/or group therapy), and usually meet 3-5 days a week for around 6 hours (i.e. 9am-3m). Some PHPs are residential (patients sleep on site) and some are not, so patients sleep at home. PHPs can last from 1-6 months, and some offer transportation and meals.
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.
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. The length of stay at the detoxification program is determined according to the specific needs of the patient.
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.
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.
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.
Creativity is inherently healing, and can help those in recovery express thoughts or feelings they might not otherwise be able to. Creative arts therapy can include music, poetry/writing, painting, sculpting, dance, theater, sandplay, and more. Unlike traditional art, the final product matters far less than the experience of creation and expression itself.
Equine therapy, aka equine-assisted therapy (EAT), is a form of experiential therapy that involves interactions and activities with horses. It does not necessarily involve riding horses, but all activities related to horses, such as feeding, grooming, haltering and leading them. A mental health professional frequently oversees the activities (often in conjunction with a horse professional), and helps patients process their thoughts, feelings, and behavior patterns during and/or after the interaction.
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.

Came in real guarded, but ended up opening up more than I thought. The trauma care was solid, EMDR helped me unpack some deep stuff. Rooms were fine, food just okay, but the clinical team? Top notch. I’d recommend it to other vets.
Leaving was hard but coming here was the first time I felt safe in years. The staff actually listened, didn’t rush me or push too hard. Some days felt long and the food could be better, but the women I met gave me strength. I’m learning how to be a mom again, and more im ...
Royal Life at Sound Recovery helped me reset. I was deep into party culture at school and honestly lost track of who I was. Their IOP was short and intense which worked great with my college schedule. Group therapy felt real and not judgy. I wish they had more young adult-fo ...
After trying to get sober for years, I can genuinely say this is the only treatment center that helped me stay clean. The staff is wonderful. They will teach you how to transition into your new life in recovery!! This is the best treatment center in Washington, and it isn’t even close!
sweet set up ty for everything
Royal was very attentive to my needs through out my entire stay.
Thank you for finally getting me sober. So while in a moment of darkness, I dug around in the car seat and put a white speck under my tongue, I still am going on 60 days sober. I understand protocal and a relapse = detox, but the way the strip search was handled was dehumanizing. So much so that I didn't feel comfortable staying in your care. When I left the 12 week program, I was basically blacklisted and when I expressed my concerns to Yolene, she gaslit me and said I was "high and not remembering things correctly". I still have not been shown proof of a positive test result despite asking repeatedly. I've done a lot of processing of this situation since I've left and while I'm able to just be at peace with many things, I simply can't seem to find peace when I think about two things: The day before I AMA'd (at around 11pm) I had spent 250$ on groceries, none of which was able to be returned to me for reasons which I still dont understand. I was a star student there, took care of the house and my fellow clients. I was told by other clients that they saw staff bringing in my citrus fruits into the office and it being a spectacle because yeah, I had just spent like 30 bucks on citrus tryna get my immune system right. The staff I guess needed the vitamin c more than I? And ya know what, I can even come to terms with that despite it being just all around hurtful and dehumanizing. But what I CANT be ok with ... Is my 65 dollar vibrator being confiscated. Who is using that? Yolene? Good god, give me my stuff back woman. Anyway. Thanks for getting me sober guys.
