What to Consider When Choosing a Rehab Center

There are many different types of rehab programs and treatment options to consider. Here are a few of the decisions you need to make:

The main factors that determine which rehab options will be best for you are the severity of your addiction and your unique personal and financial situation.

The Highest Rated, Low-Cost Rehabs in Washington

Of those 413 rehabs, Navos Mental Health Solutions in Seattle received the highest overall score based on our five core metrics.

Metrics Used to Evaluate Each Rehab

For more information about the five core metrics, head to the full breakdown of our filtering process and ranking methodology

1. Navos Mental Health Solutions

Navos Mental Health Solutions is located in Seattle and received an overall score of 6.6 points out of 10 possible points, the highest in our rankings. The supportive treatment approaches and ancillary services offered through this center are its best features. Navos provides inpatient and outpatient service settings for clients, in addition to a wealth of resources for children and families affected by substance abuse. Inpatient clients can benefit from the Peer Bridger Program, which partners them with trained Peer Support Counselors who share their own experiences in recovery. Despite being number one in our rankings, Navos is lacking in special programs for unique populations and, therefore, received a low score in that category.

  • Rehabilitation Services Provided: 5.55
  • Treatment Approaches: 10
  • Cost: 7.15
  • Special Programs for Unique Demographics: 0
  • Ancillary Services: 10

2. Asian Counseling and Referral Service

Scoring 6.4 points out of 10 points, Asian Counseling and Referral Service in Seattle is a facility offering specialized substance abuse services to Asian Americans, Pacific Islanders and other underserved communities. ACRS serves youth, adults, and people over age 60 seeking help with substance use; however, there are no rehabilitation services for opioid addiction, which contributes to the low score in that category. The special programs offered demonstrate an emphasis on community and focus on outreach, counseling, education, and group meetings. The center offers a wealth of treatment approaches for its clients, including relapse prevention, cognitive behavioral therapy, and motivational interviewing – among many more – which contributed to its high score in that category.

  • Rehabilitation Services Provided: 2.22
  • Treatment Approaches: 10
  • Cost: 7.15
  • Special Programs for Unique Demographics: 7.7
  • Ancillary Services: 6.88

3. Pioneer Center North Branch of Pioneer Human Services

Located about 70 miles south of Seattle is the Pioneer Center North Branch of Pioneer Human Services in Sedro Woolley. Ranked third overall in our rankings, this center scored 6.3 out of 10 points. The highest-scoring feature of Pioneer Human Services is the abundance of ancillary services, such as transportation services, peer support groups, counseling, and health screenings. The center specializes in treating clients with criminal justice involvement and co-occurring substance use and mental health disorders beyond traditional inpatient and outpatient care and detoxification services. Therefore, scores for treating unique demographics are low as the focus is primarily on adults and referrals from the judicial system.

  • Rehabilitation Services Provided: 8.88
  • Treatment Approaches: 5
  • Cost: 4.29
  • Special Programs for Unique Demographics: 3.85

    What to Expect in Rehab

    Many different methods are available for treating addiction, and the science of studying addiction is constantly improving and changing. However, the core pieces of rehabilitation are generally very similar.

    Substance Abuse and Rehab for At-Risk Groups

    Substance Abuse Treatment for Veterans

    Washington ranks among the bottom 10 states for veterans engaging in binge drinking

    Veterans face unique challenges that can place them at higher risk for a substance use disorder (SUD) than the general population. The primary factor leading to this increased risk is post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), while other situations, such as unemployment, homelessness and chronic pain, can also be contributing factors. Furthermore, individuals – including veterans – with a substance use disorder are more likely to develop PTSD, so the problem is cyclical in nature.

    According to the CDC, Washington ranked among the bottom 10 states for veterans who engage in binge drinking in 2017, with a reported 12.9% of veterans in the state taking part in the dangerous behavior that is often linked to PTSD. This percentage is among the lowest for all 50 states; Hawaii reports the greatest percentage of veterans engaging in binge drinking at 21.5%, while Utah is at the bottom of the rankings at 9.1%.

    Bottom 10 States by Percentage of Veterans Who Binge Drink, 2017

    Veterans in Washington can reach out to their local VA medical center to search for information on substance abuse treatment, including the possibility of a VA-based substance use disorder (SUD) program, in their state. Additionally, they can locate information regarding substance abuse treatment services at the Washington State Department of Veterans Affairs.

    Treatment is available for veterans in Washington who are suffering from a substance use disorder. As of 2017, 42 substance abuse treatment facilities in Washington – representing 10.6% of all treatment facilities – catered specifically to veterans.

    For more information, read our guide on Substance Abuse Rehab for Veterans.

    Substance Abuse Treatment for Adolescents

    Adolescents in Washington use marijuana and alcohol at rates higher than the national average

    9.9%

    of adolescents aged 12-17 used marijuana, 2017-2018

    11.1%

    of adolescents aged 12-17 drank alcohol, 2017-2018

    Between 2017 and 2018, 9.9% of adolescents aged 12-17 in Washington reported engaging in marijuana use in the past month, well above the national average of 6.6%. In terms of alcohol use, 11.1% of adolescents aged 12-17 in Washington had taken part in the behavior in the past month, also higher than the national average of 9.4%. Additionally, 7.3% of individuals admitted to a substance abuse treatment program in Washington in 2017 were aged 12-17. To overcome the challenges that youth face in overcoming substance addiction, some treatment centers provide adolescent-specific treatment programs.

    Additional Resources for Parents and Teachers

    The Washington State Health Care Authority provides a list of resources for child and youth behavioral therapy services. The website lists helpline numbers and answers frequently asked questions for those seeking advice and treatment options. The Washington State Liquor and Cannabis Board has devoted sections of its site to information on underage alcohol and marijuana use, as well as prevention strategies for parents and teens. Start Talking Now is another resource for parents and community members sponsored by the Washington Healthy Youth Coalition.

    Co-Occurring Mental Health and Substance Abuse Treatment

    Substance abuse and mental health issues tend to go hand-in-hand – the technical term is “co-occurring substance use and mental health disorders.” The Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) reported that, in 2017, 45.6% of adults with a substance use disorder also had a mental health disorder, and 18.3% of adults with a mental health disorder also had a substance use disorder. For adolescents in 2017, 35.9% of those with a substance use disorder also had a major depressive episode, while 10.7% of adolescents with a major depressive episode also had a substance use disorder.

    Mental Health Resources & Treatment

    If you or someone you love is suffering from mental health issues, such as depression, PTSD, eating disorders, or severe anxiety, there are many resources from which to receive help.

    Below are a few ways to receive immediate assistance, as advised by MentalHealth.gov:

    Emergency Services: If your life (or someone else’s life) is in danger, always start by dialing 911 to gain immediate access to emergency services.

    Suicide Prevention: The number for the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline is: 800-273-8255. You can also initiate a private live online chat.

    Veterans Crisis Line: Dial the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline at 800-273-8255 and press “1” to talk to someone immediately. You can also access help with a private online chat or text 838255.

    Here are two ways to find a provider of mental health treatment in Washington:

    The Washington State Department of Social and Health Services: The DSHS has a section of its website dedicated to treatment and recovery support through the Behavioral Health Administration with additional information on the Child Study and Treatment Center.

    Washington National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI): The Washington-specific section of the NAMI website contains links to all 19 affiliate locations across the state that provide free mental health peer support, education and outreach programs.

    Individuals who have both substance use and mental health disorders may benefit from dual-diagnosis rehab facilities. Use the appropriate filter in our tool above to find rehabilitation centers with treatment programs designed to meet the unique challenge posed by co-occurring substance use and mental health disorders.

    Finding Aftercare in Washington

    Substance abuse aftercare treatment is often overlooked, but it’s one of the most crucial steps in the rehabilitation process. The chances of relapsing after rehab dramatically rise for individuals who try to resume their lives without pursuing further treatment in an aftercare setting. Several different types of aftercare are available for recovering addicts, including follow-up visits for continued therapy, group therapy, and sober living homes. Research shows that long-term participation in aftercare activities dramatically improves the outcome of rehabilitation efforts.

    12-Step Addiction Meetings in Washington

    Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) designed the 12-step process for individuals recovering from alcohol addiction, and today there are many other 12-step programs for other addictions and issues – Narcotics Anonymous (NA) being just one example.

    Basics of a 12 step meeting

    Contact the appropriate local organization to find an AA or NA meeting near you

    The tool below lists the contact information for local organizations that will connect you to Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) or Narcotics Anonymous (NA) meetings near you. Since meeting times and locations change periodically, contact the local groups that coordinate the meetings to ensure that the information is up to date.

    Name City Program Telephone Spanish Hotline

    Sober Living Homes

    Sober living homes (also referred to as recovery residences) are group homes that help recovering addicts transition from treatment facilities to living independently while maintaining their sobriety. These homes can be especially beneficial for individuals who don’t have a supportive and positive environment in which to live after leaving a rehabilitation facility.

    Residents of sober living homes can stay from a few months to several years, as long as they follow house rules and avoid relapse, as these homes typically have a zero-tolerance drug and alcohol policy. Additionally, residents are expected to complete chores, attend mutual support groups, and pay an equal share of the cost of renting the home.

    Some sober living homes are listed in our database, and you can find them by using the appropriate filter in our tool above. You can also check out our guide on sober living homes to learn more about them and to find a certified recovery residence near you.

    Key Indicators of Substance Abuse Issues

    When trying to understand substance abuse issues in a specific area, researchers and policymakers examine “key indicators.” Combined with usage statistics, key indicators can provide a deep level of insight into which substances present the most serious concerns and which demographics can be most impacted by substance abuse. Key indicators of substance abuse issues within the state of Washington, along with recent, credible statistics, are examined below.

    Over one million Washingtonians suffer from mental illness every year

    As discussed earlier in this guide, there is a strong link between substance use disorders and mental health disorders. When an individual is afflicted with both of these issues at the same time, health professionals refer to it as co-occurring substance use and mental health disorders or a “dual diagnosis.” Consequently, the prevalence of mental health issues in a given state can also help us to understand the level of substance abuse.

     

    5.3%

    of Washington adults had a serious mental illness

    8.5%

    of Washington adults had a major depressive episode

    From 2017-2018, 5.3% of Washington adults aged 18 and over were afflicted with a serious mental illness, compared to 4.6% nationally. Among Washington residents, 8.5% of adults suffered a major depressive episode in the past year, compared to a national rate of 7.1%.

    The table below sheds some light on the prevalence of mental health issues in Washington.

    Suicide rates in Washington are higher than the national average

    The Centers for Disease Control reports that suicide is the leading cause of death in the United States: The suicide rate has risen in nearly every state from 1999 to 2016, with that rate increasing by more than 30% in half of all 50 states since 1999. Suicide is an act that is often linked to substance abuse. According to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, substance abuse is a primary risk factor for both adults and adolescents who attempt and/or complete suicide, and this is particularly true for at-risk populations.

    Furthermore, the relationship between substance abuse and suicide is multi-faceted and complex. Persons who have substance abuse issues typically also carry other risk factors for suicide, including depression, impulsive behavior, and other struggles with relationships, finances, illness, or unemployment that make them more likely to engage in self-harm. Between 1999 and 2016, Washington witnessed an 18.8% increase in the number of suicides. In 2017, Washington ranked 21st in the country for the number of suicides per 100,000 residents.

    Washington has a lower opioid prescribing rate than the overall U.S. rate

    Prescription drug abuse – particularly in the form of opioids – has become an epidemic in the United States. While it is difficult to estimate how many individuals use these drugs as prescribed and how many abuse them, the Centers for Disease Control has researched the variation in opioid prescriptions between states, establishing a direct connection between an increased level of opioid prescriptions with a greater potential for dependence and abuse. Across the United States in 2017, 191 million prescriptions for opioids were written by physicians, ultimately leading one in four patients who begins long-term opioid therapy to an addiction.

    57.2

    opioid prescriptions per 100 Washington residents, 2017

    58.7

    opioid prescriptions per 100 U.S. residents, 2017

    After peaking in 2012, the U.S. opioid prescribing rate has been on a steady decline for the last several years due to the explosion of the opioid epidemic and the recognition of the role that excessive opioid prescriptions have played in this epidemic. Between 2013 and 2017, the opioid prescribing rate in the United States dropped from 78.1 prescriptions per 100 residents to 58.7 prescriptions per 100 residents, a decrease of 24.84%. The opioid prescribing rate in Washington was consistently lower than the U.S. prescribing rate during that time period, from 75.2 prescriptions per 100 residents in 2013 to 57.2 prescriptions per 100 residents in 2017, revealing a similar decrease of 23.94%.

    Washington and U.S. Opioid Prescribing Rates, 2013-2017

    The rate of homelessness in Washington is nearly double the national average

    A high rate of homelessness in an area indicates a greater potential for substance abuse issues. Homelessness has been shown to be linked to substance abuse as both the cause and result; some individuals become homeless due to a substance use disorder, while other individuals who are already homeless frequently turn to substance use to dull the pain and desperation of their situation.

    The 2018 Department of Housing and Urban Development’s (HUD) Point-in-Time Count reported approximately 552,830 homeless individuals in the United States, the equivalent of 17 of every 10,000 U.S. residents. This number represents a decrease of 4.1% since 2014 when the number of homeless persons in the U.S. was around 576,450. Furthermore, homelessness across the United States has decreased by 15% since 2007, the year that HUD began collecting data on the homeless population.

    By comparison, Washington had approximately 22,304 homeless persons in 2018, equating to 30 of every 10,000 Washington residents and almost double the national average. This number reveals a 20.94% increase since 2014 when 18,442 homeless persons lived in Washington.
