partial-hospitalization iconPartial Hospitalization Program

A partial hospitalization program (PHP) is a short-term form of intensive rehab, usually for those with acute symptoms that are hard to manage but don’t require 24-hour care. PHPs have structured programming (i.e. individual and/or group therapy), and usually meet 3-5 days a week for around 6 hours (i.e. 9am-3m). Some PHPs are residential (patients sleep on site) and some are not, so patients sleep at home. PHPs can last from 1-6 months, and some offer transportation and meals.

Shield icon Insurance

Our Policy: Free by the Sea works with several private insurance providers and also accepts private payments when possible, please contact us to verify your specific insurance provider.

Heart icon Treatment

alcohol iconAlcoholism

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.

drugs iconDrug Addiction

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.

check iconDual Diagnosis

Dual diagnosis occurs when an addiction to drugs or alcohol is accompanied by a mental or emotional disorder. As some mental and emotional disorders can hinder a successful recovery from drug or alcohol addiction, seeking help for the disorder is vital to overcoming the addiction. When it comes to substance abuse, they use support groups to aid in treating co-occurring issues.

mental-health iconMental Health and Substance Abuse

A combined mental health and substance abuse rehab has the staff and resources available to handle individuals with both mental health and substance abuse issues. It can be challenging to determine where a specific symptom stems from (a mental health issue or an issue related to substance abuse), so mental health and substance abuse professionals are helpful in detangling symptoms and keeping treatment on track.

opium iconOpioid Addiction

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.

Hand holding medical sign icon Clinical Services

inpatient-file iconCognitive Behavioral Therapy

CBT is one of the most effective practices out there today for helping individuals overcome mental health problems or substance abuse issues. This therapy has stood the test of time and is scientifically proven to be a very effective method for managing mental health and substance abuse issues. At Free by the Sea, they invite both individuals and their families to their facility in the State of Washington to experience the benefits that CBT has to offer.

dialectical iconDialectical Behavior Therapy

Located in the State of Washington, Free by the Sea uses dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) to treat alcohol addiction, drug addiction, and other mental health issues. Dialectical Behavior Therapy at Free by the Sea is taught by our Clinical Director Dr. Kevin McGinley. Dialectical behavior therapy provides a new approach to treating substance abuse and mental health issues. Free by the Sea is one of the few treatment centers in the country with a DBT program that integrates mental health with substance abuse treatments.

intervention iconGroup 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.

mental-health iconIndividual 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.

desert iconMotivational 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.

house-medical iconTrauma 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.

couples-therapy iconCouples 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.

eye-movement iconEye Movement Desensitization And Reprocessing

EMDR is a therapeutic modality originally developed to help process trauma. In an EMDR session, a patient is prompted to undergo eye movements that mimic those of REM sleep. This is accomplished by watching a therapist's finger move back and forth across, or following a bar of light. The goal is repetitive sets of eye movements that help the brain reprocess memory, which can significantly reduce the intensity of remembered traumatic incidents. Associated memories can heal simultaneously, leaving patients significantly calmer, more stable, and more emotionally relaxed.

family iconFamily Therapy

Drug and alcohol addictions affect the entire family. Successful recovery is not just about healing the client, but also healing loved ones and the family bonds that can be tested during addiction. Free by the Sea offers an intensive four-day family program focused on helping this vital support unit establish a foundation for successful recovery not only for the client but the entire family.

life-skills iconLife Skills

Life skills trainings involve all the skills a person must have in order to function successfully in the world. These include time management, career guidance, money management, and effective communication. Truly successful addiction recovery is based on the ability to not only live substance-free, but to thrive. Life skills teaches the practical necessities of functioning in society, which sets clients up for success in life, and therefore sobriety.

Nutrition Therapy

When your body is properly nourished, healing is much faster. That's why nutrition therapy is an important part of drug rehab in Washington. It helps you learn how to take care of your body so you can heal both mentally and physically from addiction.

recreational-therapy iconRecreational Therapy

Recreational therapy is a dynamic approach to drug and alcohol addiction treatments that integrates activities like gardening, music therapy, and sports.

BEWARE! PAID REVIEWS! I spent over a month there for dual diagnosis treatment.. omg. I am more traumatized than I was when I got there! Absolutely no help for PTSD whatsoever. They are ageist and they don t like disabled people. We are too much trouble. If you want protein and don t eat meat? Get an egg on the salad. That s it. Rude desk people who favor some and the kitchen staff acts like they are going out of their way to get you plant based protein burgers. They act like mushrooms have all the protein you need. The sliders don t close all the way in rooms so you re getting an ice cold air flow from the ocean. Pile your pillows up against the curtains that linings are all ripped up. It s an old Western Hotel that hasn t been renovated since this family owned money-sucking business took over. Some of the rooms look like places time forgot. Most of the staff is not in recovery and it shows! You are a little lower on the totem pole than they are. They charged my insurance - get this - $88,000 for 30 days. They got paid 24,000. 800.00/day? So much down time. Nothing to do. It was like being in detox - for 800.00/day! Groups cancelled often. So they d throw in a TED talk video and sit on the phone the entire hour. What a pitiful joke. The place is photoshopped by the way. They are liars and these 5 star reviews are made up by staff! Omg What a joke.OKAY**** You want me to reach out . That s funny. I noticed all these 5 star reviews were answered in a day or two. MINE WASN T! Because I m telling it like it was. You had to have a group huddle to figure out how to handle this TRUTHFUL review. You paid the others, probably by giving them a discount on the upper supposed costs out of pocket costs. Great good for you!I reached out several times. You stopped taking my calls. You wouldn t return my calls. You know who I am. My phone was dropped by someone and won t ring more than once to this day, you lost my car key and fob, and you finally sent my vitamins you didn t include while you were rushing me out. My eye meds were in your facility withpeople who didn t know what they were doing with meds (OMG!) I knew I came in with them andUntil was in a panic until got amazon package. A few days later what s her name pulled out mymeds and ALL MY EYE OINTMENTS, drops, etc in a plastic bag! The entire time they had been there. And she didn t have the authority to give them to me! What is she doing handing out meds?I had asked for a new counselor instead of Lisa - I got zero help from her - EVER!!! You still hadn t replaced light bulbs in two rooms I had requested so I could see! Warm lights instead of LEDs. I had put this in writing! It went on and I have times and dates.How can we help you finally! AGAIN, PLEASE ENLARGE PRINTED OUT MATERIAL SO I CAN SEE IT! Nope couldn t be done. It would be a copyright BS. I was all printed out from books anyway. Why would it be a copyright law if it was already printed - but ENLARGING PRINT WOULD BE A CRIME OR SOMETHING? NO. It was too much trouble for you to enlarge the print for me.I was forced to go to the beach because it was all or no one! . That was when another group was cancelled. Me, closing my eyes, unable to face the sun, fear of getting the cold blowing sand in my eyes felt like I had to go with it. I didn t stay long. It was painful.I was called by staff 2x I was a pain in the ass (many a truth said in jest?) and one time again - then quickly - but you all are.There are many more things I could write, but my eyes are hurting and you people are worthless. You know how much I was dealing with and took advantage of it.You conveniently dismissed me on day 35 because it was understood I had planned on seeing the day I had to see my eye doctor 3-1/2 hours away. It was clearly understood.A lot more I could write about that, but you waited for that day to get rid of me and informed me:YOU WEREN T A DUAL DIAGNOSIS CENTER AND COULD NOT TREAT MY C-PTSD!I kept a journal and have lots more to report.

I had a wonderful experience at Free by the Sea. The staff, from admissions, counselors, front desk, housekeeping and the kitchen staff were always supportive and kind. I was treated with the upmost respect and care. They offer multiple recovery options that best suits your individual path. I was introduced to Wellbriety and Smart recovery. The blend of classes and education from multiple view points was key in my recovery. Lisa, Brian, Kurt, Ronnie and Ken are all wonderful counselors and truly care about helping one find their way through recovery. Sabrina s Art classes and Yoga are a much needed calmness. The grounds are beautiful and the view of sunsets spectacular.Thank you to everyone at Free by the Sea for all your support. Shout out to Kathy, Donna and the Kelly s for the wonderful food and getting me strong again.

I went to the inpatient rehab center for 15 day and I had to leave because they weren't doing things very well. The day I checked in they looked at my temperature which I had a fever. They never checked it again to see if it was any better. I was throwing up every morning for probably 7 of the days I was there. Along with this they had no nurse or med tech dispensing meds so I didn't get my cancer meds for three different times because the first time I came right at 10pm when they were closing and the lady rolled her eyes at me so I felt uncomfortable after that asking for meds. I'm still sober because I'm doing zoom meetings off an app called the meeting guide that helps me at home. Since getting home I've become sicker and sicker in bed for almost 40 hours so I messages my doctor, counselor and psychiatrist to see what I should do. Some of the staff was nice but a lot of girls there weren t. Some of the residents were rude to me as well and didn t get talked to by the facility.

I was referred to Free By The Sea by my Doctor when I was detoxing at Swedish Hospital in Ballard Seattle Washington. I was lucky enough to be able to get admitted into the rehabilitation program after my detox immediately on the same day. Not only were they welcoming and compassionate on the phone they offered me transportation from Seattle to their facility 4 hours away in Ocean Park, Washington. On the way to rehab I was scared and apprehensive, but Landon the admissions counselor called me along the way and was kind, patient, and encouraging. After the long ride and arrival I was treated with respect and dignity which continued during my entire stay there. The program offered me much needed trauma and PTSD treatment along with my alcohol dependency therapy and classes. I was also able to take part in yoga, sound baths, art therapy and fun outings along the peninsula. We had plenty of free time for games such as pickle ball, volleyball, badminton, and walks on the beach. The food and nutrition was also outstanding and Kathy the cook made my eggs to order perfectly every morning. I feel very blessed to have found such a wonderful place to heal and highly recommend Free By The Sea to anyone looking to get help with their overall wellness and addictions.

When in crisis is hard to navigate all by yourself, specially when you're looking for a rehab center that will be a perfect fit for you... but after doing my research finally I found the one, Free by The Sea!When I first made contact, Free by The Sea staff was very friendly and following up with me until the day I was admitted was nice and smooth. Following up with me was very crucial so I had no doubt that I had made a great choice.At the time of my arrival, it seemed like I was being welcomed by either a vacation resort or some type of 'getaway' because the place was beautiful and natural as it can be.I had no specific expectations, all I wanted was to get the help and education to start like they say at Free by The Sea - a New Course of Life.I did inpatient residential, Php and IOP, this is the very first time I did all 3 programs. The structure of the program was designed for me (us) to slowly re-integrate to the society and face the 'real world' full of knowledge and tools for those obstacles to come.The counselors are great, personally I was very satisfied with Brian - who I am thankful for. The classes, sessions and group meetings are great - with character and good purpose. And let's not forget about the kitchen ladies who make the best food and are very friendly, making you feel like at home with some nice music in the cafeteria. As for housekeeping, Eureka and Debbie are very hard workers and leave your living-space/bedroom impeccable.They have medical assistants providing you with your prescribed medications 4 times a day, and Nina is great at what she does in the Med-room.The only thing I could probably could used more of, or wanted to attend more is Celebrate Recovery but that is something more personal - is at FbTS where I found more interests.Overall Free by The Sea is highly recommendable and I will spread the word for those in need - or just in general because you never know...Free by The Sea helps you feel Free not just by the Sea but everywhere! :)-Oscar

I definitely got more out of it than if I had not gone. The reason being, I had to advocate for every service I received. They were going through a transition so that may explain some of the issues.If you have mental health issues that require highly skilled professionals, you may want to look at other options. If you are dealing with severe trauma, definitely look at all options.My case manager was great, the groups were good and staff did the best with the resources they had. I definitely do not regret going so this is just an honest assessment of my experience.

I must say that this is the place for me and many addicts, as I listened to their stories about leaving and not completing their time at other recovery places. Free by the Sea is different -- maybe it is part of the isolation and being in nature.But most of all it is the counselors and awesome staff. They go above and beyond. They know your name without you wearing a nametag. Any issues they are there with open arms to help you and they truly do CARE about your recovery. I highly recommend them!From a family member -I cannot say enough good things about Free by the Sea! Our family is so grateful for the outstanding staff, the excellent food, the counselors. Even just walking in the door I could feel the warmth and caring. Free by the Sea is truly exceptional. Kudos to the people here who change lives and do this important work for individuals and families.
