The facility has 16 beds. The medical staff will monitor you constantly as you detoxify. They can provide you with medically assisted treatment if detox is too painful for you. They will admit people who are stable medically but have drugs or alcohol in their system.
This facility allows you the time and space you need to get drugs out of your body. You will be able to focus completely on your detox and your rehab plans. The staff can refer you to inpatient facilities where you will have time to focus entirely on yourself and your issues with substances.
The staff will visit with you throughout your detox experience. They will give you a full assessment so they can refer you to a facility that will work best for you. In some cases, they will recommend you to an outpatient service.
You do not need a referral for this facility. However, they do accept many clients from hospital and law enforcement referrals.
The amount of time detox takes will depend upon the type of substance in your system. For example, alcohol detox can take anywhere from a few days to a few weeks. Cocaine generally is out of your system within four days or so.

Accepted Insurance
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.
Addiction Treatments
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.
