About A Positive Alternative
A Positive Alternative, located in Seattle, Washington, provides alcohol and drug rehab services, dual diagnosis treatment, and mental health treatment in a gender-specific format. Their levels of care include an intensive outpatient program (IOP) and traditional outpatient care. A Positive Alternative does not utilize the 12 Step model of recovery.
The intensive outpatient program allows individuals to attend more frequent treatment sessions than the traditional outpatient program offers. Clients learn how to incorporate tools into their lives that support a sober lifestyle. Identifying and managing triggers, regulating emotions, mindfulness-based approaches to recovery, relapse-prevention services, and peer connection are a part of this program. Most intensive outpatient programs meet three times per week for three hours at a time. Upon completion of the program, clients can participate in the aftercare program.
A Positive Alternative provides outpatient services through multiple programs. These programs include wellness programs, a mindfulness-based prevention program, a polyvagal theory class, and specialty classes on motivation to help people stay motivated in their recovery.
A Positive Alternative does not accept insurance but can help with out of network benefits. Coverage may be available through providers such as Aetna, Cigna, Wellmark, Blue Cross Blue Shield, Beacon, and TRICARE. It is important to contact the facility prior to starting treatment if learning more about the costs of their programs is important. Those who want to use insurance should contact their insurance carrier to learn more about their coverage because out of network benefits may vary.

Levels of Care
at A Positive Alternative
Outpatient
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.
Intensive Outpatient
Intensive Outpatient programs 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. The Intensive Outpatient Program gives patients the chance to participate in a structured treatment plan part-time while they transition back to home and work or other responsibilities.
Aftercare
Rehab aftercare programs support clients as they focus on maintaining their sobriety after intensive (often inpatient) treatment. These programs adhere to a model of life-long recovery, addressing addiction disease as a chronic, relapsing condition. Rehab aftercare services vary widely based on the specific and evolving needs of the client, but often include peer coaching, relapse prevention support, and 12 step program induction. Clients, case managers, and care teams typically collaborate on long-term care plans.
Clinical Services
at A Positive Alternative
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy
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
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.
Group Therapy
Group therapy is a safe space that offers you a confidential environment to openly discuss your challenges with addiction and the progress you're making without fear of judgment. Group therapy participants share responsibility for recovery, which fosters a collective commitment to sobriety.
Individual Therapy
Individual therapy sessions for drug and alcohol addiction treatment emphasize the importance of personalized care. Your therapist works with you to understand your unique life experiences and develop effective coping mechanisms to address your underlying issues. This comprehensive approach to recovery is the foundation of drug rehab.
Motivational Interviewing
Clinicians who apply motivational interviewing techniques engage with their clients as equal partners. This method avoids warnings and confrontation and instead allows clients to analyze their situation and explore their options. This technique is often used when the client feels unsure about their ability or desire to change.
Trauma Therapy
The goal of trauma therapy is to help you heal from the aftereffects of a traumatic experience. Your therapist will provide you with a safe and supportive space to process these trauma memories and develop better coping strategies that enhance your emotional resilience.
Couples Therapy
Couples therapy can help a couple navigate their differences. By learning powerful interpersonal skills in therapy, the couple can work together to overcome challenges and change the direction of their relationship.
Family Therapy
One goal of family therapy is to provide a platform where members have a safe place to talk about the challenges that addiction has created in their lives. Using guided sessions, therapists help individual family members develop healthy communication skills and address unresolved issues between themselves to support their loved one's sobriety.
Life Skills
Life skills training in Washington involves relearning how to manage daily living. It boosts your abilities and confidence so you can overcome challenges both big and small, without returning to substance use.
