About Starting Point

Starting Point – Vancouver is a privately-owned rehab in Vancouver, Washington, that specializes in helping individuals with substance abuse issues like drug addiction, alcoholism, and opioid addiction. Starting Point also provides dual diagnosis treatment, relapse prevention, and clinical services like family, trauma, and group therapy alongside addiction treatment services like outpatient care and an intensive outpatient program (IOP).

Starting Point utilizes a variety of treatment approaches like substance abuse counseling, cognitive behavioral therapy, rational emotive behavioral therapy, and dialectical behavioral therapy to help individuals with recovery from drugs and alcohol. Some of their other services include:

Starting Point believes in personalized care to achieve the best possible results, which is why they offer an outpatient program at their addiction treatment center. This outpatient program conveniently allows patients to seek care for substance abuse related disorders without staying overnight. Usually, Starting Points’ outpatient program is the ideal recovery tool for those who have completed an inpatient stay and want to continue their growth in recovery.

The Starting Point rehab is accredited and accepts various insurances for those who need to enroll in its intensive outpatient program (IOP). Their structured treatment program is more intensive than the regular OP as it consists of longer substance abuse counseling sessions and a range of individualized treatment programs that vary in intensity. Although patients won’t need to stay overnight at the facility, they must fully commit to the program.

Medical briefcase icon 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.

aftercare iconAftercare

Rehab aftercare programs support clients as they focus on maintaining their sobriety after intensive (often inpatient) treatment. These programs adhere to a model of life-long recovery, addressing addiction disease as a chronic, relapsing condition. Rehab aftercare services vary widely based on the specific and evolving needs of the client, but often include peer coaching, relapse prevention support, and 12 step program induction. Clients, case managers, and care teams typically collaborate on long-term care plans.

12-step icon12-Step

12 step programs support participants' psychological, spiritual, and emotional development as integral to sustained recovery. Though 12 step recovery programs are based on the belief in a non-denominational higher power, religious affiliation is not required. Group meetings are paper-led, anonymous, free, and available daily, including on holidays, in most communities. Peer sponsors selected by the participants provide one-on-one coaching and support. Specialized formats are widely available, including programming for youth, seniors, and families.

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

Many of those suffering from addiction also suffer from mental or emotional illnesses like schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, depression, or anxiety disorders. Rehab and other substance abuse facilities treating those with a dual diagnosis or co-occurring disorder administer psychiatric treatment to address the person's mental health issue in addition to drug and alcohol rehabilitation.

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.

substance-abuse iconSubstance Abuse

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.

Hand holding medical sign icon Clinical Services

inpatient-file iconCognitive Behavioral Therapy

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 iconDialectical Behavior Therapy

Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) is a highly structured form of therapy that teaches skills to help participants change negative thoughts and behaviors. Applying a philosophy of acceptance and change, you'll learn and practice these skills to break unhealthy patterns and establish healthy ones.

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

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.

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.

family iconFamily Therapy

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.

This team of people are absolutely amazing. They truly care and and in my experience the best IOP I have participated in. Unfortunately I have participated in quite a few with almost 4 decades of addiction issues. But today I am free indeed and Starting Point helped me get there and stay free. Special shout out to Jen, she's truly one of the chosen,for sure.

I am finishing up phase 1 of deferred prosecution and am so very happy that I chose Starting Point. Heather was so kind and made me feel so welcome. She was the first good thing that happened. Then I started group with Jen! She has taught me so much about my disease. She has helped me accept the fact that I do have a disease called alcoholism. Jen is not only an amazing teacher she is an amazing person. I am doing the work to fix me because of the help I get from Jen. Thank you!

The journey of recovery is completely impossible for me in my own. Starting Point has incredibly kind, compassionate, knowledgeable staff and have gone above and beyond their call of duty to assist me during my journey. The groups were full of support and education and the vast amount of resources have truly helped me. The payment plans made it adorable to do out-of-pocket as well. I am so blessed by the programming and counseling I have received at Starting Point.

It takes someone quite a bit to finally reach out for help, but when someone finally does they get no assistance over the phone. Receptionist didn't give 2 s**ts about the call and was very much not caring to chat or guide in the right direction

I began Starting Point in February 2019 and after my first group meeting I stayed to introduce myself. I ended talking with De for two hours, which unknown to me at the time, probably would ve been my last night alive if not for her. She talked to me about everything, never judging or making me feel small. My small group was so amazing & I think of these people regularly (Shoutout my old group, hope all y all are doing great ).I have been out of treatment 8 months now and am still clean and sober, in addition to that I willingly go back just to catch up and say hi. These people, both the clients and the counselors, will change your life. Long story short, if you are considering outpatient treatment (for legal or personal reasons) give them a call and talk to De for 10 minutes. I promise you won t regret it. Good Luck & Stay Safe.

My counselor De was one of the nicest on point people and had no problem calling me out if I was trying to bullllshit her. I am very glad I had all their support.

After being cited for a DUI, I went through the 16 week class and was fortunate enough to have De Spidle as my counselor. She has a gift of seeing people and understanding their needs. She has the skill to then set an appropriate treatment plan that uses effective resources to meet those needs. She certainly does not try and fit a square peg in a round hole and she really does have a good heart. Thanks De for all your support, wisdom and care.

I m so grateful that I was guided to Starting Point. I transferred from another treatment center to finish up my program and Heather was great helping me through the process with ease.I am grateful to have Jenine Hildebrand as my counselor. I thought I just needed a few more classes to finish the court s requirements, Turns out I needed someone to show me how to live a purposeful and happy life being clean and sober. She runs a tough program, is compassionate and has a way of understanding like I ve never experienced. I appreciate her walking with me on this incredible journey. She is the best possible counselor if you are finally ready to change your life for the better.

My name is Mj Adams and I went through the 2 year prosecution program here at starting point. Let me tell you that it is an amazing place and everyone there makes you feel like family. My counselor Jen is the most genuine and gracious person I have ever met, I always told here she was my guardian angel. If it wasn t for her I wouldn t be where I am at today. She truly cares about her students and devotes personal time with each and every one of them. I highly recommend starting point without question.

Starting point is a great place for those in need of help or is struggling with alcoholism or addiction. I arrived there after deciding to go the deferred prosecution route and originally I wanted nothing more than to go through the motions to complete that process. I found and received so much more than I expected. I was placed in Jen s group and couldn t have been more satisfied with the quality of services she provides. She truly has a gift for helping people. She helped me walk through so much to be able to change and better my life. I can t say nothing but great things about this place and the people work there.
