Top Ranked Drug Rehab Centers In Burien, WA

I tried 2 different 12 step programs that failed. The adverse therapy at Schick Shadel Hospital saved my life. It worked and I'm very grateful! Thanks so much

So upset this treatment center is closing!! Typical corporate decision. I am alive today because of their treatment. Clean & sober for 15 years with no desire to drink, do drugs, and/or binging on both. The comments from the new owners were disrespectful and ignorant about the process. Treatment is not easy in any program, but if it saves lives why end it. Shame on you Universal Healthcare! Many lives will be lost by closing this hospital.

I feel like it needs to be said that no one will kick an addiction in 10 days. Even the traditional 28 days won't end the addiction. There are no shortcuts to the life long journey you are embarking on, if you choose sobriety. What Schick does - is give you the tools, and take away the cravings so you can handle this huge life shift. I have been abusing alcohol for 8 years and finally decided I needed professional help. Schick is working so far for me. I've been 81 days sober as of today. What the treatment is like: There is a daily schedule of meds, vitals, and group. You will spend the mid morning through mid afternoon either completing a sleepy (propofol conscious sedation treatment where they ask you a series of questions related to getting sober, and staying sober) and counseling, or a duffy (ipecac aversion treatment where they give you ipecac and then have you drink alcohol. you quickly become ill to associate drinking with nausea.). Late afternoon are various groups. Pros: -The medical director at the hospital is a true patient advocator. Sabrina is incredible. -The community. I felt safe sharing in group, and gained some friends I imagine will be with me for life. -The counselor John. I've been going to therapy the past ten years, but HE is my favorite person I've talked through my mental health with. Compassionate, empathetic, just a good listener, and has great life advice. He's been there done that, and helped me see some great perspective. His lectures are also my favorite. -The program. Schick gives all of the same literature that any other rehab gives, but also has the aversion therapy, and sedation treatment. -The resources. The media wall, the counselors, the lectures, the movies, the hypnosis videos, the 4 agreements, etc. There are so many resources it was hard to take them all in. But theyre all powerful and have continued to help me outside of Schick. Cons: -The nursing staff. For the most part I didn't have a problem. But some of the staff had no bedside manner whatsoever. Some said misogynistic comments. Some did room checks late at night with little regard to patients sleeping. Some argued with other nurses in front of me. Either the nurse was great or the nurse was pretty unprofessional. And I didn't see much inbetween. -Not a diverse group at all. As a black queer female I felt out of place here. It's mostly white men in their 30s and 40s.

Lakeside is a great recovery center. There really is nowhere else to go when you've hit bottom and realize you can't do it alone for one more day. The staff is very friendly, extremely helpful, and caring like YOU haven't experienced before. If you're ready to take back your life, reach out, Bill, Jennifer, Joyce, and the rest of the Auburn staff will help give you the tools you need to start building and living a healthier life again.

Milam has been an amazing experience. The IOP program and my counselor, Bill, have truly changed my life. The tools I’ve gained to stay sober continue to make a difference every single day. I could not have done this alone. Thank you, Bill, and thank you, Lakeside!

Lakeside milam's outpatient treatment has been the most beneficial, positive experience. I appreciate the empathy, care and understanding I've been show in my most vulnerable moments. Chris as a counselor shines, the knowledge he has of addiction being a complex disease is broken down in easily understandable lectures and the dialog he allows between everybody in group allows for relatibilty between patients. Very grateful for this experience. Thank you to everybody here!

I learned so much from their outpatient program. Dulcinea helped change my view on life and Gwen and Andrew have been great teachers. Marisa is awesome. Thanks yall.

Very great experience, I learned so much about not only addiction but about myself. Very informative and knowledgeable curriculum that gave me a well rounded understanding of alcohol/ drug addiction. Love the group dynamic and I looked forward to coming to class and sharing my life experiences and everything I have been learning. First time undergoing treatment but it has been life changing to say the least, highly recommend.

I’m currently in Phase 3 of my recovery journey at Lake Side Milam, and I couldn’t be more grateful for the support and guidance I’ve received here. I started my journey in Phase 1, feeling uncertain and overwhelmed, but the program has far exceeded my expectations in every way. The staff here, especially my counselor Dulcinea and Mrs. Guwen, have been instrumental in my growth. Dulcinea is compassionate, insightful, and truly understands what I’m going through. She’s provided me with the tools and mindset shifts I needed to start healing. Mrs. Guwen has also been a great support, offering valuable insights and helping me navigate tough moments. I feel safe and heard during every session, and that has made all the difference. The treatment team is incredibly supportive, and I’ve learned so much about myself through the process. Each phase of the program has been a stepping stone in rebuilding my life. The curriculum is thorough, and I’ve gained tools to manage my triggers, cope with emotions, and rebuild healthy relationships. I’m genuinely grateful for the opportunity to be here and would recommend Lake Side Milam to anyone who is ready to take their recovery seriously. It’s not just about stopping drinking; it’s about learning how to live a fulfilling life again, and I feel like I’m finally on the right track thanks to Lake Side Milam and the amazing team here
