Addiction treatment and recovery services are crucial in Seattle due to the significant impact of substance use disorders on our community. Seattle faces distinct challenges with substance use, accounting for 57% of King County’s fatal overdoses despite representing only 32% of the county’s population. The city has seen an urgent need for comprehensive opioid use treatment, with many residents struggling to maintain independent living while battling addiction.

The complexity of substance use in Seattle, from alcohol dependency to polysubstance use, requires a coordinated treatment approach. While recent data shows promising trends with overdose deaths decreasing by 22% from 2023 to 2024, the ongoing prevalence of substance use disorders continues to affect individuals, families, and communities throughout the area.

Eleanor Health provides essential support and evidence-based solutions through our comprehensive outpatient therapy programs in Seattle. Through our flexible in-person and virtual care options, we make it easier for Seattle residents to address both the physical and psychological aspects of addiction while developing the skills needed to maintain recovery and return to independent living.

Mental health services are increasingly vital in Seattle as our community faces growing challenges with mental illness. Nearly 25% of Washington residents experience mental health or addiction challenges during their lifetime, and the COVID-19 pandemic has intensified these issues, with depression and anxiety rates rising 15-18% statewide.

The need for accessible mental health care is particularly urgent given the current provider shortage, with only one mental health professional available for every 360 people in Washington state. This gap in care is especially concerning for young people, with Seattle recording over 2,700 emergency department visits for youth mental health crises, and approximately 80,000 Washington adolescents suffering from major depression without receiving professional care.

Eleanor Health addresses these challenges through our holistic treatment approach, recognizing that mental health and addiction often go hand-in-hand. Our integrated care model combines mental health services with addiction treatment, ensuring that individuals receive comprehensive support for both conditions simultaneously. By offering both virtual and in-person options, we’re working to increase access to vital mental health care for Seattle residents while reducing barriers to treatment.

Different stages of recovery may require different levels of care. Addiction recovery centers offer several treatment options to match your specific needs and circumstances:

Inpatient treatment programs provide 24/7 medical care in a hospital setting, which is often necessary for drug and alcohol detox or when more intensive support is needed.

Residential treatment programs provide a structured living environment with comprehensive therapeutic programming for individuals who require around-the-clock support.

As an outpatient treatment provider, Eleanor Health offers flexible care that works around your daily life, allowing you to maintain work and family commitments while receiving treatment.

While we specialize in outpatient services, we understand everyone’s journey is different. If you need a higher level of care first, we’ll help connect you with trusted providers who can support you through those early stages of recovery.

Outpatient rehab programs offer a range of care levels within a comprehensive continuum of care. Each level provides a different intensity of treatment to match individual needs:

• Partial Hospitalization Programs (PHP) offer the most structured environment, with treatment sessions running several hours per day, multiple days per week.
• Intensive Outpatient Programs (IOP) provide a balanced approach, typically meeting 2-3 times per week for several hours each session.
• Standard Outpatient services involve regular appointments that work around daily commitments.

Your care team will continuously evaluate your progress and adjust the level of care accordingly. This flexible approach ensures appropriate support at every recovery stage while accommodating work, family, and personal responsibilities.

Your recovery journey deserves a treatment approach that’s as unique as you are. That’s why our multidisciplinary team combines evidence-based treatments with personalized support to help you heal and grow. We offer proven behavioral therapies, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help you identify and change unhelpful thought patterns, Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) to build emotional regulation skills, and family therapy to strengthen your support system. Combined with Medication-Assisted Treatment (MAT), these therapeutic approaches help you develop practical life skills, manage stress, and build a strong foundation for lasting recovery. Whether you choose virtual or in-person care at our Washington locations, you’ll have access to both individual therapy sessions and group counseling services, creating a personalized experience in a structured environment.

Co-occurring mental health conditions happen when someone experiences both a substance use disorder and mental health concerns at the same time. Research suggests that more than 40% of people with a substance use disorder also have a co-occurring disorder. Common examples include:

• Depression or anxiety alongside alcohol abuse
• PTSD combined with substance abuse
• Bipolar disorder with drug abuse
• Attention deficit disorders with substance abuse

Co-occurring disorders often influence each other, which is why treating both simultaneously through our integrated holistic approach leads to better outcomes. Many people find that addressing underlying mental health conditions is a crucial part of their recovery journey.

At Eleanor Health, we understand that your recovery process needs to work seamlessly with your daily life. That’s why we’ve created a unique approach that combines both virtual and in-person outpatient care. Your treatment team will work with you to develop an individualized treatment plan that offers the best of both worlds: the personal connection of face-to-face visits and the convenience of online sessions. This flexible approach not only enhances the quality of care but also makes treatment more accessible and affordable.

Our comprehensive approach to opioid addiction treatment combines several evidence-based practices:

• Medication-assisted treatment using FDA-approved medications to manage cravings and withdrawal symptoms
• Individual therapy to address underlying causes and develop coping strategies
• Group therapy sessions for peer support and shared learning
• Regular check-ins with your dedicated treatment team
• Mental health support for co-occurring conditions
• Case management to coordinate your care and recovery needs

We understand that recovery from opioid use disorder looks different for everyone. That’s why we create flexible, personalized treatment plans that evolve with your progress. Our long-term support includes relapse prevention strategies and ongoing connection to our alumni program, ensuring you have the tools and support needed for sustained recovery.

At Eleanor Health, we take a whole-person approach to alcohol addiction recovery. Our comprehensive treatment program includes:

• Evidence-based behavioral health therapies
• Medication management when appropriate
• Individual and group sessions
• Trauma-informed therapy
• Case management services
• Music therapy, art therapy, and expressive therapies
• Connection to local recovery community
• Aftercare planning for long-term recovery success

Our experienced team creates a personalized recovery program that combines these services to address both the physical and emotional aspects of alcohol addiction. We understand that recovery looks different for everyone, which is why we offer flexible programming that adapts to your specific needs while providing consistent support and structure throughout your recovery journey.

Medical detoxification is often a crucial first step in addiction recovery, providing supervised care during withdrawal from drugs or alcohol. Since withdrawal can be dangerous, clinical staff monitor patients 24/7 and may use FDA-approved medications to manage symptoms safely.

While we don’t provide detox services or residential treatments at our facility, our admissions team can help coordinate these services with trusted partners when needed. We work closely with local providers to ensure a smooth transition into our outpatient care once you’re ready.
