About Columbia Wellness

For adults and teens alike, the team at Columbia Wellness is prepared to bring you the care you need to overcome your addiction. This rehab is in Longview, Washington. It’s mostly an outpatient center that has intensive outpatient programs, but they also have an inpatient detox unit to start your recovery the right way.

This treatment center is all about not only treating your addiction but also setting you up for success in your sober life. The group therapy sessions will help you work through the journey of recovery and issues that impact your addiction. The life skills you’ll learn throughout your program as well will give you the tools for sustained sobriety.

If you’re not yet ready for outpatient care, that’s okay. The team at this rehab can refer you to wonderful inpatient and residential programs that are suited to you.

I was especially touched to see that this rehab has a special place in its heart for unique situations. They do great work for people who have co-occurring disorders, and they have a special program for youth ages 13-20 with drug and alcohol addiction. They also help people who are impacted by the judicial system, including juveniles.

Terrible experience with Stephanie, a school-based counselor. What she did was so inappropriate that I don't even care to share the experience. Find another company.

Accepted Insurance

Columbia Wellness works with several private insurance providers and also accepts private payments when possible, please contact to verify your specific insurance provider.

Other Forms of Payment

"Private Insurance

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.

Per session payment lets you pay for each treatment at the time of service. You may also pay for a certain number of sessions up front and then pay for more if needed. This format allows you to tailor the financial investment to your specific needs and avoid having a large lump sum payment due at the end of the treatment program.

Sliding scale payments are based on a client's income and family size. The goal is to make treatment affordable to everyone. By taking these factors into account, addiction recovery care providers help ensure that your treatment does not become a financial burden to you or your family, eliminating one barrier to care.

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.

Medicaid"

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.

Addiction Treatments

Levels of Care

outpatient iconOutpatient
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.
inpatient iconInpatient
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.
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
heart-hands iconIntervention Services
It can be difficult for family and friends to carry out a successful drug intervention in Washington on their own. Intervention services can help. These services typically include education about addiction and enabling behaviors, expert facilitation for interventions, and recommendations for appropriate treatment. Often, the involvement of intervention services can create a smooth transition into rehab.

Treatments

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.

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.

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 rehabs focus on helping individuals recover from mental illnesses like bipolar disorder, clinical depression, anxiety disorders, schizophrenia, and more. Mental health professionals at these facilities are trained to understand and treat mental health issues, both in individual and group settings.

Programs

teen-program thumbnail image
Teen Program
Teen programs are designed to address the unique pressures teens face, pressures that can drive them to experiment with dangerous, addictive substances. They need programs that meet them exactly where they are and give them tools for long-term recovery. Therapy can help teenagers understand and work through underlying issues so they can reclaim the life ahead of them.
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.
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.
child-program thumbnail image
Child Program
The providers who specialize in the children's rehab space understand the specialized needs that this population faces. School-based and social services such as tutoring and family counseling are often central to treatment. Child programs may also address the needs of youth experiencing substance abuse in the home, including a parent's or sibling's addiction.
seniors-program thumbnail image
Seniors Program
Nearly one million adults age 65 and older live with a substance use disorder. Treatment providers who specialize in senior care understand the social, psychological, and physical effects of aging and how they relate to recovery. They can help clients address particular challenges and risks they may face as they get older such as overdosing and medication interactions and dependencies.
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.
military-program thumbnail image
Military Program
Serving in the military is both mentally and physically challenging, and can result in trauma that persists even after combat ends. Military programs are tailored to the specific and often complex needs of active duty personnel, veterans, and military families. Clients often access these programs through the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA).

Clinical Services

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 (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.

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 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.

Whether a marriage or other committed relationship, an intimate partnership is one of the most important aspects of a person's life. Drug and alcohol addiction affects both members of a couple in deep and meaningful ways, as does rehab and recovery. Couples therapy and other couples-focused treatment programs are significant parts of exploring triggers of addiction, as well as learning how to build healthy patterns to support ongoing sobriety.

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.

They're not professional; they care about the money and how to get more! They'd do anything for it even if they know it's morally wrong they are thirsty for it! Don't go here they don't care about you or the goals that you have of being clean.

This place is a joke. I was told I would get a grant to pay for my treatment since I didn't have health insurance. I finished my treatment and now getting hounded by debt collectors over a year later. When I call the office they tell me there's nothing they can do about it. This is wrong you can't tell someone they won't have to pay and then charge them for it

This place was very nice as far as I'm concerned. The facility is nice. The private rooms are nicely done with dark blue fuzzy soft blankets, you get two and you can drag them into the day room where there is group a few times a day. Facilitated by loving caring people. There are movies, Wii and games. There is no negativity in this place. None. The food is good and there are lots of good snacks with fruit and a fridge full of stuff to eat and drink.The nurses are wonderful. Whenever I was in my room crying they were so sweet and talked with me. They listened and remembered the things I was having a hard time with. Also very supportive with phone numbers of doctors and various programs and places to go. They were sincere and empathetic and just so nice. There was always a therapist on hand the few times I had sudden anxiety and PTSD flashbacks. I didn't have one negative encounter with any of the staff there. The place must have changed from the previous reviews I read. The prescriber was such a good listener. Very professional and very understanding. Very everything and never goofy or animated in a way that some prescribers and psychiatrists can be. My only other experience with being an inpatient is At Johns Peace Health. Columbia Wellness was so much better. I went in there already knowing that I was not going to get the meds that I really needed and they worked with me as much as I worked with them on finding acceptable alternatives. My accepting that I have to be proactive about my anxiety attacks was a huge help for all of us. I realized that I can't expect to be fixed by drugs or other people. I did get some okay alternative for anxiety and I'm working on techniques to help me gain self confidence and help lessen my fear of the symptoms of my condition.I would feel confident referring a loved one here. There is nothing that falls through the cracks and the nurses and therapists treat everyone as equals without prejudice or judgement. I was there for seven days and the only reason I wanted to leave was because I missed my phone and baby monkey videos. Lol... I will go back again if I get squirrelly. If you have mental issues and need a safe place to get it together then I hope you go here and have a helpful experience like I did.

I was in a high trauma vulnerable situation, with a high need to assert myself. They tried to neuter me, minimized previous mistreatment I receive to protect themselves.But worst of all, it seems pretty apparent that they coordinated manipulation and abuse with other mental health facilities.I have a high degree of actualization, this combined with my vulnerable situation brought all this corruption out of the woodwork. My guess is a lot of people actually get these jobs just for some power trip, at least in poor areas like Aberdeen and Hoquiam. Either way, they ll throw you under the bus if it serves their interests.

I'm a falls thru the cracks girl. I came here n was getting help. But these therapist don't seem to stay long. This was my 2nd attempt at seeking help. Both times the therapist quits 4 another job. I told them in the beginning I can only do this once more. She quit. The New therapist Jan, never called 4 my phone appt A MONTH AGO. I literally just spent 10 mins arguing with the receptionist with her saying they've called me n my voice-mail not set up. My voice mails set up. I'm home on my phone all day no one's called. All she wanted to do was argue & insinuate I was lieing. I need to find a therapist not connected a drug rehab. Clearly she thought I was less then. She had the audacity to think I needed her help with my phone when in fact I was explaining that whom ever logged into the computer that my voice mails not set up was lieing. I've had this # for 10 years n I've had this phone for 3 years. Now I wouldn't go back because someone lies n the receptionist was rude n mean.

david paris is a problematic provider. he told me he would prescribe my same medications if I transferred over, he did not, and he claimed I said I was addicted to pain killers and that s why he wouldn t be giving me my ADHD meds, after I had transferred over under the guise that my treatment would remain under the same meds. My disability case could potentially be ruined because of this mans attitudes towards medicine and my prescriptions. a huge waste of time transferring my services to columbia wellness. that and it's hard to see a therapist in the first place, and when you get in many employees are not comforting at all. one kept calling me by the wrong name. Another would smirk at me like a loony person. insulting and exhausting! I am not biased. I tried to schedule with different providers to no avail.I will give three stars because the crisis line has always been there for me. But I don t feel I trust the providers there enough to go back for services.

Wish I would've read some of the reviews before deciding to go here. This place is a joke. DO NOT go here, you will regret it. I'm upset that I have to even rate them with one star. They are definitely 0 star worthy. It's obvious "wellness," is the last thing they're concerned with. Reading through the comments i noticed that there's aboutv4 or 5 negative reviews for every positive review. If your business is a matter of life and death and you're only making 20-25% of your patients happy you are failing and need to figure out what you're doing wrong because for every 20-25 people you're saving there's potentially 75-80 people who you're directly responsible for them dying.
