<p><strong>ABOUT KING COUNTY SUBSTANCE ABUSE SERVICES</strong></p> <p>King County’s Department of Community and Human Services’ contracts with several facilities of greater Seattle to offer a <strong>full continuum of low or no-cost inpatient and outpatient-based programs</strong> for adults and youth (ages 12 to 17) struggling with chemical dependency and co-occurring disorders. If necessary, King County contracts with <a href="https://www.rehabs.com/listings/seadrunar-seattle-drug-narcotic-center-1870710753/" target="_blank">Seadrunar</a>, a long-term residential facility, to provide detoxification services for adults, while detoxification for youth is available through <a href="http://www.rehabs.com/listings/lakeside-milam-recovery-center-kirkland-631007030/" target="_blank">Lakeside Milam Recovery Center</a> and the Recovery Centers of King County’s Detoxification Center.</p> <p><strong>TREATMENT & ASSESSMENT</strong></p> <p>Although King County does not have a centralized intake center, the Department of Community and Human Services does <strong>coordinate with law enforcement, the courts, and schools to facilitate outreach and interventions</strong>. If an individual is referred to a program, the specific facility will typically conduct an initial assessment to determine an appropriate level of care and identify any <a href="https://www.recovery.org/pro/articles/10-things-you-need-to-know-about-dual-diagnosis-treatment/" target="_blank">co-occurring mental health disorders</a>. King County partners with several facilities equipped to treat individuals struggling with a dual diagnosis.</p> <p>King County contracts with approximately 40 facilities to provide publicly-funded mental health and substance abuse treatment services. While treatment approaches for substance abuse may differ among facilities — based on the communities they serve — King County states that treatment programs are based on “scientific research and nationally recognized standards.”</p> <p>Due to its size, King County’s network of contracted facilities can offer <strong>specialized treatment to serve various communities</strong>. For instance, King County partners with <a href="http://www.new-traditions.org/" target="_blank">New Traditions</a>, which provides substance abuse treatment for pregnant women and mothers. King County also partners with facilities that specialize in treating <strong>older adults, youth, Asian-Americans, Native Americans, and the LGBT community</strong>. In addition, King County provides specialized treatment programs for individuals involved in the criminal justice system.</p> <p>Components of substance abuse treatment may include <strong>individual, group, and family counseling sessions</strong>, educational classes, life skills training, and an introduction to self-help groups, such as <a href="https://www.recovery.org/pro/articles/the-evolution-of-anonymity-in-12-step-fellowships-does-it-still-serve-a-purpose/" target="_blank">12-Step</a>. According to the county’s website, many partnering facilities incorporate <strong>vocational training and continued education</strong>, such as G.E.D. preparation, into their treatment programs.</p> <p>King County also contracts with <strong>methadone maintenance clinics</strong> to provide <a href="http://www.recovery.org/topics/medication-assisted-treatment/" target="_blank">medication-assisted treatment (MAT)</a> for individuals recovering from opioid addiction.To assist its program graduates, King County provides <strong>case management services</strong>, which may include alumni referrals to sober housing facilities, vocational training, <a href="http://www.recovery.org/topics/extended-recovery-programs/" target="_blank">aftercare programs</a>, supportive employment, and other community-based resources.</p> <p><strong>STAFF CREDENTIALS</strong></p> <p>King County’s network of contracted facilities employs qualified professionals experienced in the field of behavioral health. These professionals may include medical doctors, psychiatrists, clinical psychologists, licensed counselors, nurses, social workers, and case managers.</p> <p><strong>WHAT ALUMNI SAY</strong></p> <p>While Rehabs.com has yet to receive alumni feedback of King County Substance Abuse Services, as a whole, to date, secondary sources revealed generally positive reviews of various facilities who partner with King County’s Department of Community and Human Services. On Google reviews, <strong>14 individuals gave the Seadruner facility an average rating of 3.9 out of five stars</strong>. <small class="footnote"><a target="_blank" href="#footnote-1"><sup>[1]</sup></a></small> "They serve a very vulnerable population well, with compassion and mercy," Curtis, a representative reviewer, wrote. Others also cited the therapeutic work component of the Seadruner as a strength. </p> <p>On Yelp, <strong>seven reviews gave Lakeside-Milam Recovery Centers an average rating of 4.5 out of five stars</strong><small class="footnote"><a target="_blank" href="#footnote-2"><sup>[2]</sup></a></small>. Alumni tended to praise the facility's staff and affordability. "I"m so glad i went to treatment here, i'd recommend it to anyone or any parents or loved ones considering this option<' John D., a representative reviewer, wrote. </p> <p><strong>WHAT FRIENDS & FAMILY SAY</strong></p> <p>The four loved ones polled by Rehabs.com at the time of this writing provided <strong>mixed opinions concerning various public facilities</strong>. Reviewing a substance abuse outpatient program, a loved one rated the facility’s level of family participation with four out of five stars. They also gave a four-star rating for counseling options, though offered a two-star rating for the facility’s discharge planning. “Follow up services were non existent,” they wrote. A sibling of a client reviewed a gambling addiction program and submitted a four-star rating for the staff’s level of experience and training, but commented: “Not enough time spent with patients.”</p> <p>Providing a more positive opinion of King County’s publicly-funded treatment, M.O., a mother of a client who progressed through a 15-month continuum of treatment, felt the programs were overall beneficial. M.O. gave a perfect five-star rating for the treatment staff’s level of experience and training and a four-star rating for the facilities’ ability to treat co-occurring disorders. “They saved my sons life and he learned so much about life addiction and accountability,” M.O. wrote.</p> <p><strong>FINANCING</strong></p> <p>King County’s substance abuse services are available to individuals who are Medicaid eligible. Limited services may also be available to low-income individuals who do not qualify for Medicaid.</p> <p><small class="footnote"><a target="_blank" href="#footnote-1"><sup>[1]</sup></a> <a href="https://goo.gl/XWNrv7" target="_blank">https://goo.gl/XWNrv7</a></small><br /> <small class="footnote"><a target="_blank" href="#footnote-2"><sup>[2]</sup></a> <a href="https://www.yelp.com/biz/lakeside-milam-recovery-centers-kirkland" target="_blank">https://www.yelp.com/biz/lakeside-milam-recovery-centers-kirkland</a></small></p>
