They provide outpatient, detox and telemedicine, which is the whole of what this address in Washington is set up for.

Washington has 387 free AA meetings as well, which is not treatment but costs nothing and needs no referral.

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

Detox handles withdrawal. Treatment handles everything that comes after it. Detox is where a mental health diagnosis often surfaces for the first time, because the drug was covering it. Call (844) 822-5800 if you are not sure which you need, because the distinction is hard to judge from inside it.

Somebody works through a short list, and the clinical detail comes later at an assessment. The person answering is usually trained to screen rather than to treat, so the clinical detail comes at the assessment. Describe what you are actually dealing with, not the version that sounds manageable.

Publicly funded residential programs tend to have the longest lists and the lowest cost. A list quoted in weeks can shorten without warning, so being reachable matters. Ask who to call if things get worse while you are waiting, and write that number down.
