As a neighbor of this facility( I live in the large apartment complex behind the facility I am awakened at 6:00AM every morning by loud patients who are outside for what I presume is the first cigarette of the day. This morning a woman was screaming at the top of her lungs for more than 5 minutes and could be heard a block away. This was allowed to go on for long enough that it was obvious that these patients are not accompanied by a staff member. We also notice people walking through our parking lot and carports slipping bags of what I presume are drugs through the fence dividing our property. I would suggest a thick hedge to prevent this and a staff member present during early morning smoke breaks in consideration of the seniors living in the other side of the fence!, Be good neighbors!

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.

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.

Financial aid can take many forms. Centers may have grants or scholarships available to clients who meet eligibility requirements. Programs that receive SAMHSA grants may have financial aid available for those who need treatment as well. Grants and scholarships can help you pai for treatment without having to repay.

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.

Addiction Treatments

Levels of Care

outpatient iconOutpatient
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.
inpatient iconInpatient
Inpatient rehab enables clients who are exiting detox or who are at an increased risk of relapse to focus on their recovery in a highly structured and supportive environment. Inpatient rehabs provide intensive clinical supervision and high-level treatment. Clients remain at the facility through the length of their program and typically receive multiple addiction counseling and education sessions per day. Holistic therapies, such as yoga, message, and meditation, may be used to relieve stress and ease discomfort.
intensive-outpatient iconIntensive 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.
aftercare iconAftercare Support
Completing a drug or alcohol rehab program shouldn't spell the end of substance abuse treatment. Aftercare involves making a sustainable plan for recovery, including ongoing support. This can include sober living arrangements like halfway houses, career counseling, and setting a patient up with community programs like Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) or Narcotics Anonymous (NA).
12-step icon12-Step
12-step programs are addiction recovery models based on Alcoholics Anonymous (AA). A number of substance abuse programs (including some drug and alcohol rehab centers) use the 12 steps as a basis for treatment. Beginning steps involve admitting powerlessness over the addiction and creating a spiritual basis for recovery. Middle steps including making direct amends to those who've been hurt by the addiction, and the final step is to assist others in addiction recovery in the same way. 12-Step offshoots including Narcotics Anonymous (NA), Cocaine Anonymous (CA), Dual Recovery Anonymous (DRA), Sex and Love Addicts Anonymous (SLAA) and Gamblers Anonymous (GA).
medically-assisted-detox iconMedically Assisted Detox
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.

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.

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.

Substance rehabs focus on helping individuals recover from substance abuse, including alcohol and drug addiction (both illegal and prescription drugs). They often include the opportunity to engage in both individual as well as group therapy.

Programs

adult-program thumbnail image
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.
hearing-impaired-program thumbnail image
Hearing Impaired Program
A sensory disability, such as hearing impairment, can compound the challenges of addiction recovery. Drug rehabs that are specially designed to accommodate the needs of persons with hearing impairments will include special accessibility features and accommodations to make treatment as comfortable and effective as possible. This may include access to American Sign Language interpreters.
program-for-men thumbnail image
Program For Men
Men face specific challenges and concerns when seeking addiction treatment. Gender-specific recovery programs help them tackle these issues head-on in an environment that's focused, targeted, and distraction-free. It also gives them the opportunity to connect with and learn from other men who have been through a similar journey and can offer support for the next step.
program-for-women thumbnail image
Program For Women
Rehabs for women provide a safe, nurturing space for female clients to heal. These treatment programs consider the specific obstacles that women can face during recovery and place a special emphasis on mental, social, physical, and reproductive health. They explore how each woman's experience has shaped the trajectory of their substance use, addressing issues such as sexual abuse and past trauma.
young-adult-program thumbnail image
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

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.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) is a modified form of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), a treatment designed to help people understand and ultimately affect the relationship between their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. DBT is often used for individuals who struggle with self-harm behaviors, such as self-mutilation (cutting) and suicidal thoughts, urges, or attempts. It has been proven clinically effective for those who struggle with out-of-control emotions and mental health illnesses like Borderline Personality Disorder.

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.

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.

I have a family member currently in ABHS Spokane. The first few phone calls were rough. She was crying she hated it there and wanted to leave, but then there was a major turn around. The first week she was in there there was a lot of stealing going on but now that seems to have settled down. She said the food is all homemade and great! She says she is learning so much in there. And really seems to be making the most of it. 3 weeks of her being in she seems happy and ready to make a new life for herself.

I called for some information because my loved one is coming here and the receptionist was rude, she was annoyed with my questions and ended up hanging up on me. Nice to know people like that are there to "help" our loved ones! Bad vibes all around.EDIT AFTER BUSINESS REPLY:My questions were NOT about my husband's care plan or anything confidential! He's not even there yet! It was about the company rules, things he can bring, how intake works, etc. None of my questions were about a specific plan or care. It was general questions.

I'm sorry to hear that you had a negative experience. As a healthcare organization, we are required by law to maintain absolute privacy regarding our client's information. The Healthcare Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 ("HIPAA") enforces strict privacy regulations without the client's express written consent. At American Behavioral Health System, we take this obligation to protect our client's privacy very seriously. Unfortunately, without written permission, we cannot discuss a client's progress or acknowledge someone's participation in our programs. We understand that HIPAA can create obstacles for people who have good intentions. However, on the positive side, HIPAA helps us create a private and safe environment for our clients to heal. Please feel to call the facility's administrator for more information.

Abhs and doc are in each others pockets that s how they stay open. Meaning when you get a charge and take a doc that the prosecution offered you then your doc officer makes you go to abhs. Abhs Spokane was the worst treatment center I have ever been to. I would give it a zero but I can t. The place is most currently haunted because it used to be a old folks home and they kept the ssi checks of a few of the dead people and stashed there body s down in the basement so they could keep getting those ssi checks. I watched a man die in the room next to me from the medicine that Abhs doctor gave him. They took me off my anti depressants that I was on for 2 years and put me on latuda. They did this because they make you see there doctor even if you want to zoom with your own which you have the legal right too. And if everyone has to see there doctor then they can push whatever meds they want on each of the clients and then that doctor has her own little monopoly get it?.I tried to hang myself twice there from how bad it was and how bad my life was then. They forced people to live in the east wing all summer while the air conditioning was down . Old people died daily from the heat . This place was a hell mouth for sure I went to Jotc later on and god clean been clean for 14 months do not go to Abhs.

If I could leave 0 stars I would. I went voluntarily. Stayed 12 of my 28 days. They expect clients to follow rules, however all the staff members have different rules depending on who trained them. Then when a supervisor is asked, she makes it seem like it's the client's fault that one staff let them do one thing and another won't. My counselor, Ms. Spencer totally invalidated my feelings and talked to me like a child so I didn't even feel safe with my counselor.They take clients who clearly need more than what their facility can provide as far as mental health, but hey, it's money so why not? The "provider" is provider in Georgia that you see via zoom, so you never physically see a provider. She lowered my dose of an anti depressant without even telling me she would be doing so or why. I didn't find it until the staff put a sticker on the bottle I brought in. When I asked them about it, they said I would have to ask my counselor to see the provider and ask her, but I'm the meantime, I had to take only what she prescribed.Ms. Hicks, Ms. Spencer, and quite a few others could do with some training on compassion and validating feelings.The TC "cult" culture is wild. Their meetings twice a day really seem like a cult meeting. Mindless fall in line, brainwash stuff.Ms.Meddock, Ms. Rek, Ms. B, Ms. O'Brian and a few others, you are AMAZING. Please don't let that place burn you out!

This place is a ZERO star rating. Faculty and staff lie. Missing patients are NOT reported to authorities. So, a heads up if you have concerns about family members/loved ones. It is not a rural setting. It's just a couple of blocks from the downtown area. (Also a red flag, BTW. Homeless is a problem is this area.) Theft from staff,(vehemently denied) without any type of retribution offered for stolen items. 10/10 would not recommend.

It is unfortunate that some have bad experiences, when so many others have positive things to say. Please rest assured that all State and Federal regulations are followed. At American Behavioral Health, we proudly serve all people regardless of status in a safe environment. Please feel to contact us, we'd be happy to discuss it further.

This place is horrible majority of the staff is awful. The nurses were wonderful, very helpful and kind. Certain staff needs more empathy and more kindness. The women in the building are horrible. The upper structure is set to set the tone for the community. Does not set the tone for the community. Also, my wedding rings were stolen. My things were stolen and many other things.
