About Ideal Option

Ideal Option, in Kennewick, Washington is an outpatient addiction treatment center. They’re part of a nationwide network that provides medication assisted treatment (MAT) for opioid and stimulant use disorders for adults age 18 and older. They also provide MAT for alcohol withdrawal and relapse prevention. They do treat minors in special cases, but treatment needs to be approved by one of their medical directors. Pregnant women who have opioid use disorder can also get help here.

Don’t let cost keep you from getting the help you need. They believe everyone deserves access to treatment, regardless of their financial situation. All types of insurance are accepted, including Medicaid and Medicare. If you don’t have insurance, they offer financial assistance and flexible payment plans.

Two ER doctors started the first clinic in 2012 because they wanted to make addiction treatment more accessible. Today, there are over 80 clinics in 9 states, and they’ve helped more than 82,000 people begin recovery. Their mission is to give underserved communities easy access to proven addiction treatment.

When you walk into the clinic in Kennewick, you’ll feel like you’re visiting your primary care doctor’s office. It’s an outpatient clinic, so patients don’t stay overnight. Instead, they come in for short visits, starting a few times a week. Once you’re stable, you’ll come in for quick 30 minute visits once a month.

Many people worry about feeling ashamed or criticized when they’re experiencing substance use issues. When you start treatment, you’ll be treated with respect and compassion. Addiction is treated like a disease here and is not something to be judged.

Something unique here is that they offer MAT for marijuana and kratom addiction. Not many clinics do this! They treat kratom addiction with some of the same meds used for opioid use disorders. For marijuana addiction, they’re using a promising new medication. For all substances they combine MAT with personalized counseling to support recovery.

Many patients who complete treatment at Ideal Option say they feel confident they can stay clean long term. The program focuses on evidence based treatment that gives people the tools and support they need for lasting recovery.

Accepted Insurance

Ideal Option 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 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.

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 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.

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.
intensive-outpatient iconIntensive Outpatient
Intensive Outpatient Programs (IOP) 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.
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.
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.
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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Closed doors with no explanation.Had an appointment but the note on the door said they were closed for training You could have called the patients to let them know. There are some very nice and caring staff that work there and they have a hard job. Management is garbage is what I assume

Response from the owner2 years ago
I can definitely see how this would be frustrating, thank you for reaching out! Typically, if someone is scheduled during a time we will be closed, we would send a text to reschedule as well as give you a call. I'm so sorry to hear about this miscommunication! At your next appointment, please check with us just in case to make sure your contact info is correct and up to date. Again, thank you for reaching out with your concerns. We will make sure to have proper communication going forward!

I've been going since August 2021, until today.... today is not the first day I went in and blew over a .000 but I'm not there for any alcohol related problem. I blew a .057 which is under the legal limit for WA, and they told me I was not allowed to leave or drive from there office. Of course I said uh haha no and walked out but it sicks because I was going there for rehab treatment for drug addiction and now I'm scared I'm going to relapse without my medication all because I was enjoying the sunny day on my back deck and had a couple beers before going in. I didn't lie ,I told them I had had a couple and one of thier new guys tells me I can't leave. Guess what buddy no one is gonna tell me I can't leave somewhere, I'm an adult and sure can go. I'm legal to drive by the laws in WA.i have to add this was the only bad experience I've had and it was with the new guy, I just can't believe they employ people like him to work with people like me trying to better our lives.

Hi Austin, Thank you for reaching out with your experience. We never want our patients to feel a sense of belittlement by the staff but a large part of our job is making sure we keep you and others safe. We are so sorry this wasn't communicated effectively and compassionately. Thank you again for your feedback, it is important to us as this will help us with improving our care to patients in the future!
