Treatment

Alcoholism

Alcoholism is a chronic condition that often includes periods of relapse. A person with his alcohol addiction has become physically and/or psychologically dependent on alcohol. Often, alcohol use disorders occur alongside other mental health disorders. It is important to receive dual diagnosis treatment for both. Alcohol rehab in Washington can address co-occurring disorders through a variety of behavioral therapies and evidence-based approaches.

Dual Diagnosis

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.

Mental Health and Substance Abuse

In Washington, dual-diagnosis rehabs provide comprehensive care for individuals facing both mental health and substance abuse challenges.

Levels of Care

Outpatient

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.

Medically 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.

Intensive 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.

12-Step

12 step programs support participants’ psychological, spiritual, and emotional development as integral to sustained recovery. Though 12 step recovery programs are based on the belief in a non-denominational higher power, religious affiliation is not required. Group meetings are paper-led, anonymous, free, and available daily, including on holidays, in most communities. Peer sponsors selected by the participants provide one-on-one coaching and support. Specialized formats are widely available, including programming for youth, seniors, and families.

Aftercare Support

This group (ASAM Level I.0) assists individuals who have experienced recent relapse and/or have been referred to the group by individuals who recognize the need for more intense relapse prevention skills prior to the relapse experience. It is an eight week program consisting of two groups per week covering relapse prevention and direct reinforcement of the participant’s ongoing recovery program in order to encourage personal growth and support.

Clinical Services

Cognitive Behavioral 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.

Family Therapy

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

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.

Individual Therapy

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

THS vocational staff builds collaborations with business owners and community employers to secure job opportunities for their program participants. The THS vocational curriculum assists participants with skill development in completing job applications, forms, resumes, and interviewing skills. THS Staff provide community support services and encouragement for participants who are placed in jobs. Additionally, their staff assists participants in securing public funding as they progress through THS treatment programs.

Motivational Interviewing

Motivational Interviewing (MI) is a clinical approach to helping people with substance abuse issues and other conditions shift behavior in positive ways. It is more goal-oriented than traditional psychotherapy, as MI counselors directly attempt to get clients to consider making behavioral change (rather than wait for them to come to conclusions themselves). Its primary purpose is to resolve ambivalence and help clients become able to make healthy choices freely.

Nutrition Therapy

Nutrition therapy, aka medical nutrition therapy (MNT), is a way of treating physical, emotional, and medical conditions through diet. Specific dietary plans are designed by professional nutritionists or registered dietitians, and patients follow them in order to positively affect their physical and mental health.

Trauma Therapy

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.
