Online & In-Person Outpatient Addiction Treatment in Washington

Addiction treatment is crucial in Washington state due to the significant impact of substance use disorders on our communities. With over 3,167 opioid overdose deaths recorded in 2024 and synthetic opioids like fentanyl involved in 68% of these cases, access to evidence-based programs is more critical than ever. The state faces widespread substance use challenges, from high rates of alcohol use (50% of adults drink monthly) to concerning levels of methamphetamine use.

Despite these challenges, many people don’t receive the treatment they need. That’s why Eleanor Health provides comprehensive recovery support through proven treatment approaches. Our evidence-based programs combine medication-assisted treatment, counseling, and peer support to address both the physical and psychological aspects of addiction. By making treatment more accessible through both virtual and in-person options, we’re working to close the treatment gap and help more Washington residents achieve lasting recovery.

Mental health treatment is essential in Washington state, where over 1.6 million adults and 140,000 adolescents struggle with mental health conditions like depression and anxiety. Unfortunately, Washington currently meets only 16.2% of its mental health professional needs, falling well below the national average of 27.7%. This shortage creates significant barriers to accessing care, particularly in rural areas.

At Eleanor Health, we address this challenge by offering integrated mental health treatment alongside addiction services, both virtually and in-person. Our whole-person approach ensures that underlying mental health conditions are treated concurrently with substance use disorders, leading to better outcomes and sustained recovery.

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 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 centers offer a structured living environment with full-time therapeutic programming for those who benefit from 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 programming offers several levels of care 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 sessions, creating a personalized experience in a structured environment.

Co-occurring mental health disorders 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 disorders 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.

With methamphetamine use affecting communities across Washington state and often appearing alongside opioids in overdose cases, Eleanor Health provides comprehensive, evidence-based treatment for methamphetamine addiction. Our treatment program includes:

• Personalized behavioral therapy to address the psychological aspects of meth addiction
• Individual and group counseling sessions focused on triggers and coping strategies
• Medical support to manage withdrawal symptoms and health complications
• Treatment for co-occurring mental health conditions
• Case management services to assist with housing, employment, and other needs

Our flexible treatment options, available both virtually and at our Washington locations, ensure you can maintain your recovery journey while managing daily responsibilities. During your initial assessment, our team will help determine the most appropriate level of care for your specific situation.

Medically supervised detox 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.

Family therapy is a vital component of our outpatient treatment programs because addiction affects the entire family system. Through guided educational sessions, families learn to understand addiction, repair relationships, and create a supportive environment for recovery. We help identify and improve family dynamics that may impact recovery, while teaching practical skills that strengthen communication and trust in everyday life.

Our family counselling sessions help both the person in recovery and their loved ones navigate the recovery journey together, leading to better outcomes and stronger support systems. We offer flexible scheduling options to ensure families can participate while managing other responsibilities.
