Where Can I Find Medical Detox Centers in Washington?

In Washington, you will find 176 non-profits, 158 for-profits, and 62 local, state, federal, and tribal government facilities.¹

Depending on how strong your physical dependence is to alcohol, your reaction to alcohol withdrawals can be mild or life-threatening. Some of the symptoms are  irritability, anxiety, agitation, high blood pressure, raised heart rate, seizures, and delirium tremens, and there is a risk of death.²

For this reason, enduring alcohol withdrawal alone is very risky. In a medical detox center, there is medical supervision to treat the discomfort and health and safety risks of alcohol withdrawal. This process of medically treating complications that arise from alcohol withdrawal while allowing your body to eliminate it from your system is called medical detox.³ Physicians are on-site at all times to manage health and offer care.³

You can find detox facilities throughout Washington by searching the SAMHSA directory here.

Why Choose American Addiction Centers?

American Addiction Centers (AAC) is a network of addiction treatment facilities that offers a 90-day promise, quality care, and an alumni support system. The 90-day-promise holds facilities accountable by offering an extra 30 days of treatment to anybody who relapses within 90 days of finishing treatment as a patient in an AAC facility.

The alumni support system continues to provide support to patients after they have completed treatment by regularly checking in on them to see how their recovery is going as well as offering fun gatherings and events.

State-Funded Insurance (i.e. Medicaid)

In the U.S. there are 72 million people who are on Medicaid, a federal government healthcare coverage program.⁴ The program is for low-income adults who need assistance getting health coverage as well as their children, people with certain kinds of disabilities, and the elderly. Despite being funded by the government, each state runs a separate Medicaid program.⁴

If you were turned down by Medicaid in the past you may be eligible in Washington now even if your circumstances haven’t changed. This is because when the Affordable Care Act was passed the rules of admission were changed to include people with higher incomes and more assets. While not all facilities will take Medicaid, there are 267 facilities in Washington that do, making up 67.4 percent of the facilities in the state.¹
