The Center Alcohol and Substance Abuse

Bring Balance into Your Life - Certified Chemical Dependency Program for Alcohol and Drug Addictions - Licensed Healthcare Facility

The state-certified Chemical Dependency Program of The Center is recognized as one of the leaders in the Puget Sound region. We've had proven success for recovery from substance abuse using a treatment approach based on whole-person care – and "inspired healthcare" approach designed to restore balance to your body, mind and spirit.

Regain control of your life from alcohol and drug addiction, and hold on to the Hope that your life can be different.

Some may use alcohol or drugs to self-medicate their shame, fear, anger and pain. These feelings may stem from a recent situation or a lifetime of difficult circumstances in which there seemed to be no means of escape. Yet the negative feelings alcohol and drugs are intended to mask are the same feelings that addictions tend to escalate.

How much shame, fear, anger and pain could you rid from your life if you could stop:

• Planning your every day around alcohol or drug use
• Concealing your alcohol or drug use from family or friends
• Drinking or using drugs alone
• Regretting something you said or did when you were drunk or high
• Panicking if you don't have alcohol or drugs on hand
• Relying on alcohol or drugs to relax or fall asleep

Replace your shame, fear, anger and pain with self-respect, courage, understanding and peace through alcohol and drug addiction treatment and counseling at The Center.

Integrative Medicine, Whole-Person Care

It can be difficult admitting to an addiction for fear that you'll be perceived as weak, inferior or "screwed up." You need not worry about those judgments here at The Center. Staffed by a team of professionals who know that you are not your addiction but rather a whole person who needs whole-person care, we apply "inspired healthcare" that addresses your medical, physical, psychological, emotional, nutritional, fitness and spiritual needs. We will assess the appropriate level of care for you. At times medical detox will be required prior to entering our alcohol/drug treatment programs.

Restore balance to your body, mind and spirit. Find the Hope you need through our whole-person approach to help and healing.

Alcohol and Drug Addictions Treatment Program

Everyone's program for alcohol and drug addictions recovery is personalized, but here is a general idea of what to expect from our state-certified chemical dependency program:

We offer a day treatment program and an intensive outpatient program.

The Center is dually licensed for psychiatric issues as well as addiction treatment. This enables us to treat coexisting disorders such as chemical dependency and eating disorders.

• Complete psychological testing and assessments
• Complete medical & nutritional testing and assessments:
• Fitness Assessment by Certified Fitness Trainer
• Complete Medical Workup and Exam
• Medication reassessment – (if you are on medications, such as anti-depressants or anti-anxiety medications, an assessment of effectiveness and new prescriptions may be provided)
• Complete Nutrition/Dietary Assessment and Menu Planning by Registered Dietician
• Healthy, nutritious weekday meals (organic, nutritional emphasis)
• Reference handouts to build your "Revitalization Handbook" to take home and use in months to come

Ongoing Care – For Alcohol and Substance Abuse

Upon completion of each recovery program for alcohol and drug addictions, weekly telephone sessions for 3-6 months are recommended. This is beneficial to recovery and relapse prevention of alcohol and drug addictions as it helps to solidify recovery skills and provide a venue to discuss ongoing challenges and successes with alcohol and drug addictions.

Take back your life. Help is within reach at The Center – a place of hope for the past 24 years.

You won't find cookie-cutter solutions or canned responses at The Center. Each person is unique and we take the time to get to know you personally, even before you arrive for your Treatment Program for Alcohol and Drug Addictions. That means understanding your situation and fully addressing questions or concerns so you can make the decision for alcohol and drug addictions recovery. We promise to provide an atmosphere of respect and trust in all interactions with you, from the first phone call to the heartfelt good-byes when you return home.
