About The Coleman Institute

The Coleman Institute’s now-closed center in Bothell, Washington was a detox center that offered accredited care to adults aged 18 and older. Until July 2024, you’d have found this center just 30 minutes north of Seattle. This was just one of Coleman’s many locations across the U.S.

The Coleman Institute prides itself on its unique detox method. Unlike many other detox centers and methods, here and at Coleman’s other locations, anesthesia was not used on their clients.

Instead, their primary treatment methods involved the use of FDA-approved medications to help individuals manage their uncomfortable withdrawal symptoms and cravings. To encourage a more sustainable and long-term recovery, their unique naltrexone therapy program is used alongside supportive case management to help clients after the withdrawal management phase. This type of treatment is known as medication-assisted treatment or MAT.

Naltrexone is a non-addictive opioid blocker favored by this facility as it has fewer complications than the better-known methadone and buprenorphine. In fact, this and other Coleman locations also offer detox programs for these well-known detoxing medications.

In terms of how long the detox process used to last, clients could expect it to take around three days. Offering a shorter process than many other detox centers, this was ideal for clients who didn’t want to or couldn’t afford to put their lives on hold for too long while they were in recovery.

They also offered flexible scheduling and appointments, and an overall less expensive treatment relative to other centers. Comfort medications were also provided, tailored to the severity of clients’ withdrawal symptoms.

Individual and group therapy options were also provided as well as targeted services to support specific veteran populations, such as homeless veterans. They also offered transitional support and care management for returning veterans.

I brought my family member to seek help at a facility, but instead of aid, she was subjected to such severe treatment that she developed PTSD, a challenge she still grapples with today. It took considerable effort and years of persuasion to convince her to give it another try. At the Coleman Institute, she endured a prolonged 14-day ordeal, far exceeding the anticipated one to two days. This meant I had to take a substantial amount of time off work, cover my own accommodation and transportation costs, all totaling $20000 in the U.S., nearly double in Canadian dollars! Unfortunately, upon returning to Canada, she relapsed immediately. After much persuasion, she eventually agreed to seek help once more and has now been in recovery for 2 1/2 years thanks to the program in Detroit, ARD.

My loved one completed their program in a few days the doctors were very open and clear on the process they discussed that it may be uncomfortable but that we could medicate accordingly. Being through many inpatient facilities I would recommend this process to anyone who has a family member addicted. There were discomforts for short amounts of time but were remedied quickly. At the end reflecting on the experience my loved one was extremely happy with the process, care, and outcome of the program. A literal lifesaver. Amazing.

Accepted Insurance

The Coleman Institute 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

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.

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.

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.

Addiction Treatments

Levels of Care

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. The Coleman Institute offers outpatient rapid detox program to help individuals free themselves from the effects of addiction to Opioids, Suboxone, Methadone and Alcohol.
aftercare iconAftercare Support
Completing a drug or alcohol rehab program shouldn't spell the end of substance abuse treatment. Aftercare involves making a sustainable plan for recovery, including ongoing support. This can include sober living arrangements like halfway houses, career counseling, and setting a patient up with community programs like Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) or Narcotics Anonymous (NA). During the detox, they work with patients and their families to develop an appropriate aftercare plan.

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.

Clinical Services

The Coleman Institute is dedicated only to provide detox services. Because their treatment takes only a few days, the patient doesn't need a long break from his/her daily life to complete detox. Staff work with the patient to create a personalized treatment plan that better suit his/her needs and also create and aftercare plan.

They lie with new doctor in Seattle it is painful it took eight days she is still in pain she wants rip out the implant! Vomiting for 2 days! What a waste of time and money 11,000$$$ ! My daughter has been to the Coleman Institute before they changed drs in Seattle... first time 3 days no pain... Now! 8 days ALL 8 days were painful she was in so much pain we had to convince her every day to just go back in. 3rd day she sat there from 9 AM till 2 PM before she allowed them to start therapy again it was that painful! She got the implant after??? and we have been home for three days and it has been nothing but more hell! She from day one has not felt better and is even worse now with the pallet as she doesn t have control over her bowel movements vomiting she s hallucinating and still feeling PAIN! for two nights I ve had to talk her out of taking the implant out herself!!!!Seattle, Washington - The Coleman Institute dr. Coleman himself is on his video three days at this new place in Seattle they don t offer three days they start off with five somethings different hmmmm! The way I see it is that they re losing clientele it was easy to get her back the second time because well that was painless she ll never do it again. There are other places I can get you guys links where they actually let you stay at the hospital with somebody every on private room they feed you you have no cost other than the procedure and I have an anaesthesiologist how great is that in a hospital setting but condos for you and your guest same price actually the match any price

I have done so much research on programs like this. Unfortunately, we needed to find a program that would work right away for my brother in-law. This place is amazing. Not only is the staff very professional, but very caring and understanding of the patients needs. He was back to work two days after his implant.After a week of getting his implant he started doing things he had no desire to do before, such as Fishing, hunting, being around. His family is now back in his life. I could not thank them enough for bringing him back to life again. My brother in-law said that after going through multiple detox/rehabs, this has been the easiest program.Thank you to the Doctors and staff.Sincerely,The Griffiths Family
