Valley Cities - Recovery Place of Kent

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

They provide detox for 5 substances: opioids, alcohol, benzodiazepines, cocaine and methamphetamines. Whether a bed is free this week is a question for the call, and Kent has 8 other centers.

They work in 1 language beyond English: Sign language. Ask whether the group sessions in Kent are in it too, or only the one to one ones.

Their programs are for adults from 26 to 64 and young adults from 18 to 25. The group you sit in is usually built around the age band, which in Kent can mean one group rather than several.

One of their programs is built for adult women, which usually means a separate group rather than the same room with a different label, and it is one of the 3 named here.

They treat both, and the rest of what they are set up for is adult men and adult women.

Compare the specifics, because almost every center describes itself in the same words. Distance from home cuts both ways: far enough to break a pattern, near enough for family to take part. Ask for the daily schedule in writing rather than a description of it.

The levels run from a weekly appointment up to a residential bed, with two useful steps in between. Where someone is using in the house, or on the route home, outpatient care is working against the current. Ask what happens if the level you start at turns out to be the wrong one.
