Lakewood Drug & Alcohol Rehab, Detox & Treatment Resources

Addiction is a crisis that has swept across the nation, leaving broken individuals and families in its wake. Regardless of age, income, class, or race, residents of the smaller city of Lakewood faces this epidemic too. A local newspaper, “The News Tribune”, reported recently that a paramedic was arrested for allegedly stealing fentanyl from ambulances.

The same newspaper states that heroin and prescription medication are the primary substances being misused with 6.5% Pierce County residents suffering from addiction. Although the stories throughout the country are alarming and heartbreaking, Lakewood is doing its part to combat the problem by offering treatment services by way of detox, outpatient, medication-assisted treatment, residential treatment and aftercare.

Finding Alcohol and Drug Rehab in Lakewood, WA

Lakewood, Washington Alcohol Rehab and Drug Rehab Centers

How can you know which treatment program you need? You need to look at your situation and ask yourself a few questions. Are you in need of detox? Are you dependent upon a substance that doesn’t have many withdrawal symptoms like marijuana or hallucinogens? Or are you dependent upon a substance that has a painful withdrawal process like opioids or alcohol? Do you have a current stable and safe place to live? What is your history with addiction? All of these things will affect which treatment program you need.

Residential Treatment Programs

Residential treatment is designed for those suffering with a long-term or serious dependence. Residential is ideal for those who have relapsed several times or for those with an addiction to substances like opioids or benzodiazepines. In residential treatment, the patient lives at the center until treatment is finished and receives a vast array of medical, psychological, and supportive therapies and classes.

Partial Hospitalization Programs

Partial hospitalization is meant to be short-term. Many patients progress from residential treatment to a PHP, which is also sometimes called “dayhab”. It is just like the residential program, but patients will go home at night.

Outpatient Treatment Programs

Offering a little more flexibility and freedom than the PHP, outpatient treatment programs only ask patients to be in the facility for therapy and other healing activities for 10 to 15 hours per week.

Many people elect to enroll in a treatment program at a national network of rehabilitation facilities like The Recovery Village because The Recovery Village gives you access to the highest quality amenities, the most experienced addiction specialists and healthcare professionals and the most effective aftercare plans to avoid relapse.

Detox Centers

If you are addicted to a substance like marijuana or cocaine, there are virtually no physical withdrawal symptoms. However, if you are addicted to a substance like opiates or benzodiazepines, there is a detoxification process you will need to go through before you can begin a treatment program. Many people choose to pursue this process at a Washington detox center where medical supervision is provided.

Others know that while detox is important, it is only one step of many that must be taken on a road to long-term recovery. Treatment programs are essential to your health and wellbeing. The Recovery Village and other national treatment centers offer detox programs as well as the inpatient, partial hospitalization or outpatient programs that you need to ensure you avoid relapse.

Recovery Meetings Near You

Recovery is a multi-layered journey. Finishing a recovery program can be life-affirming, but it is just the initial phase of recovery. Aftercare is as important as the steps that precede it. Aftercare services usually include recovery meetings like those of Alcoholics Anonymous, Narcotics Anonymous or SMART Recovery.

AA Meetings

Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) Meetings

Alcoholics Anonymous is a fellowship of men and women overcoming alcohol addiction by leaning on each other for support, going through the 12 steps, abiding by the 12 traditions, reading helpful and positive literature like The Big Book and working with a sponsor. None of this is required to attend meetings and become a member, however. All you need to attend a meeting is the desire to stop drinking. Many Lakewood alcohol rehab centers, as well as others nationwide, provide information about AA. Here are meetings in the Lakewood area.

NA Meetings

Narcotics Anonymous (NA) Meetings

Narcotics Anonymous is a lot like Alcoholics Anonymous but for those who are addicted to harder substances than just alcohol like cocaine (powder or crack), heroin, prescription opiates, prescription stimulants, prescription benzodiazepines and marijuana. Started in 1953, Narcotics Anonymous meetings are run in a similar way to Alcoholics Anonymous meetings. After completing treatment at a drug rehab center in Lakewood, WA (or any other city), NA can help keep you in recovery. Here are some options for meetings in the area:

SMART Recovery Meetings

SMART Recovery Meetings

Those who criticize the 12-step approach for being too spiritually based by speaking about a higher power will most likely be much more drawn to the 4-point system of SMART Recovery, which stands for Self-Management for Addiction Recovery Training. In the SMART Recovery system, addiction is a series of harmful behaviors that can be controlled and managed whereas 12-step programs see addiction as a disease. SMART Recovery holds face-to-face meetings and meetings online. Here are the closest meetings to Lakewood.
