Lakeside Milam Recovery Centers - Kirkland Inpatient

They provide inpatient residential, telemedicine and detox. Whichever one you start at the usual pattern is to step down through the levels rather than stop at once, and Bothell is the closest place to carry that on if you move.

They handle detox for opioids, alcohol, benzodiazepines, cocaine and methamphetamines. Ask how many days theirs lasts, because that varies more between places than people expect and Kirkland has 8 other centers to compare.

Alongside this, Kirkland has 63 NA meetings and 49 free AA meetings.

They offer a telemedicine option. What that covers varies, and a first appointment in Kirkland often still has to be in person.

8 other centers are within about 14 miles, the nearest of them under a mile away in Kirkland.

There is normally a family component, and it is one of the better questions to put to two programs. Family sessions are normally held in evenings or at weekends, because the people expected at them are working. Ask what the family program actually consists of and how often it meets.

In network and out of network are the two phrases that decide most of this. Coverage for detox is normally a separate question from coverage for the treatment that follows it. Ask what your out of pocket maximum means for a stay of this length.

Publicly funded residential programs tend to have the longest lists and the lowest cost. The longest lists sit at the programs that cost the least, which is the genuinely hard part of this. Say clearly how urgent it is, including any medical risk, because that changes the queue.
