Drug & Alcohol Detox Programs near Lakewood, WA

Lakewood, WA, situated to the south of Tacoma, has approximately 5 recognized drug and alcohol rehabilitation centers in the city district itself. With Tacoma located just to the north, in the general area of Lakewood, you will find approximately 14 recognized drug and alcohol rehabilitation centers, of which 5 offer inpatient addiction treatment, including medically-assisted detoxification. Of these 5 rehab centers, 3 offer outpatient drug and alcohol rehab as well.

There are approximately 9 recognized drug and alcohol rehabilitation centers that only offer outpatient addiction treatment, though, for some people, this is sufficient to help get them sober, and to remain that way.

Depending on your level of substance abuse, detox could be the necessary first step in your recovery. This is because some substances, including alcohol and opiates, when abused heavily or for an extended period of time, can cause serious withdrawal symptoms, and can even result in death if they are not medically assisted.

For many substance abusers, withdrawal will be very uncomfortable. Addicts can experience a range of such withdrawal symptoms, most commonly nausea, anxiety, depression, and insomnia. Detox centers can help to minimize these uncomfortable symptoms by administering medications and natural remedies.

If someone has only abused a substance on a very limited basis, it is possible for them to detox on their own at home. It is best, however, to first check with a medical practitioner or addiction specialist that this is absolutely safe to do so. Checking into a medical detox center is a far better option, as these facilities make the process safer and more comfortable.

Most health insurance companies will pay for detox, and you can click here to find out if your healthcare plan covers the cost of addiction treatment.
