Ellensburg, Washington Addiction Resource Guide
Ellensburg, the county seat of Kittitas County, has its share of problems with drug and alcohol addiction. No matter what type of addiction you suffer from, recovery resources, like drug and alcohol rehab and detox, can be found in Ellensburg and the surrounding area. Trying to handle addiction recovery on your own can cause failure at best, and be potentially deadly at worst. This makes the help and support you can find in both inpatient and outpatient facilities, as well as group meetings and support groups, the most effective way to successfully beat a drug or alcohol addiction.
As home to Central Washington University, Ellensburg is the residence of many college students year around. This group of people is statistically most prone to experimentation, which can lead to ongoing misuse and addiction. Sometimes all that is needed is a little bit of peer pressure to get the cycle started.
Opiates and other prescription drugs are at the forefront of this epidemic. These are seen as the perfect way for students to unwind from a particularly stressful day of classes, without feeling like a hardcore drug user. Painkillers allow them to unwind, while drugs like Adderal and Ritalin provide the boost needed to get some last minute studying done. These problems have become so prominent that the county of Kittitas was recently awarded a $65,000 grant from the state to combat it.
If you or a loved one are struggling with any type of addiction, the resources found in this guide should provide you with what you need to get started back down the road to sobriety. Whether your interest lies in starting out with a detox program, or finding ongoing support groups to attend, the information here should help significantly.

Support Groups and Recovery Meetings in Ellensburg, Washington
One of the single most difficult aspects of drug or alcohol addiction is keeping to the straight and narrow for the long run. While the intense feelings associated with detox are daunting, they do not last very long. Keeping yourself away from the bottle or the needle on an ongoing basis can, many times, feel like it is a battle that just never ends.
The best resources available in keeping away from an addiction are support groups and recovery meetings. These gatherings consist only of people who are addicts or alcoholics, which makes it a much more comfortable and relaxing atmosphere. Other meetings and groups are made up of loved ones of alcoholics or addicts that may be having a tough time as well. These meetings vary in nature, and are held at many locations and times of the day.
Alcoholics Anonymous is an extremely popular organization that has helped alcoholics of all stripes to put down the bottle for good. With over 70 years of experience, AA has fine-tuned a 12-step program that has proven time and again to be effective at staying away from the bottle, even at the most trying of times. This program is based on faith, with an emphasis on surrender to a higher power. There are no conditions to meet to attend an AA meeting, other than just a real desire to stop drinking.
There are a large number of AA meetings located in Ellensburg. As these are held on different days and times, there should be no trouble finding the perfect one for your situation.

Loving a person who is an alcoholic has its own set of difficulties. It can seem like many times there is just no way to cope with the pressure, and supporting the loved one properly feels nigh on impossible. This can build up over time, and ultimately manifest itself in very destructive ways.
Al-Anon is like AA only for those who stand on the sidelines of the addiction. As with AA, these meetings are also made up solely of those who are experiencing these hardships. Support and a helpful shoulder to lean on are found at all Al-Anon meetings.

Drug and Alcohol Rehab in the Ellensburg, WA Area
While the importance of outpatient support groups and recovery meetings cannot be understated, they are rarely the first step in and addict's road to recovery. Following a detox period, the next step is to find an inpatient or outpatient rehab program. These programs are usually pretty intense, and are packed full of the different types of therapy needed to help you keep your sobriety going in the long term. Only once the rehab step has been finished should support groups and meetings, such as AA or NA, be your primary source of alcohol or drug recovery treatment.
While there are many important decisions to make when selecting your drug or alcohol rehab program, the very first is likely to be whether to go inpatient or outpatient. As you can imagine, these two types of programs are very different. Many things must be taken into consideration when deciding which would best suit your needs and addiction. Taking a full and frank stock of your situation in specific will help you in making the correct decision.
Outpatient
An outpatient program consists of a particular amount of time where you come to the treatment facility on a part-time basis to receive therapy. Participants stay at home and either transport themselves, or have a service pick them up. This type of program is obviously the better choice for those with more personal responsibility, and are unable to be away from home for the program's length. This can also be a good choice for those whose addictions do not need round-the-clock care and attention.
Inpatient
An inpatient program is housed in a facility that has the capability for patients to live there on a full-time basis. During the program, which is usually a few weeks to a month in length, participants stay at the facility on a constant basis. Departure from the grounds is usually only possible with a staff member to act as escort. Days are usually filled with various forms of treatment and therapy, and there is very little idle time. These factors combine together to form the best option for those with more serious addictions to drugs or alcohol.
A total of seven different facilities dealing with alcohol and drug rehab can be found directly in Ellensburg. While all seven of these facilities provide drug addiction treatment, only two of these provide a treatment program for alcohol addiction as well. All of these rehab programs for both drugs and alcohol are outpatient in nature.
Northpoint Seattle
While not located directly in Ellensburg, one of the best options for outpatient drug or alcohol rehab treatment is Northpoint Seattle. Northpoint Seattlehas two convenient locations, one in Bellevue and the other in Seattle. Each of these locations provides a wide range of types of therapy, all tailored for each person's individual addiction. The Northpoint Seattle is also equipped to handle patients with a diagnosis of co-occurring disorder, also known as dual diagnosis.
Northpoint Washington
If your needs definitely include an inpatient program, Northpoint Washington is an excellent choice to consider. Northpoint Washington can be found in two locations, one in Edmonds and the other in Boise. Northpoint Washington can accommodate both drug addicts and alcoholics in our personalized inpatient program.
Those searching for relief from a drug addiction can find solace in Northpoint's drug rehab program. Our approach to drug addiction treatment is wide and varied, and offers different types of effective therapy options. Our program starts out with a drug detox phase, followed by the rehab program. Following successful completion of the inpatient program, an aftercare program is created. Every part of your drug addiction treatment is covered at Northpoint Washington.
Alcoholics can also find everything they need to reach a successful conclusion to their addiction at Northpoint Washington. This includes both medical intervention and natural and holistic therapy. Because the withdrawal for alcohol is both dangerous and difficult to handle, medicated detox may also be part of your program. We treat both regular addictions, and those with dual diagnosis (co-occurring disorder).
Health Insurance
Paying for any rehab out of pocket is just impossible for most people that need treatment. Health insurance plays a large part in most rehab programs, and both Northpoint Seattle and Northpoint Washington are proud members of many different health networks. You can even verify whether we accept your health insurance with a quick visit to our website.
Northpoint Seattle
Northpoint Seattle is a leading resource in the battle to overcome drug or alcohol addiction. However, we completely understand that not all solutions work for each person. The specifics of each addiction are many times different, which might mean our recovery solution is not right for all individuals. Regardless, even if we are not the proper choice for you, we can definitely point you in the right direction.
