In 2017, almost 400 King County residents lost their lives to a drug overdose. It’s time for us to connect our neighbors and loved ones with the resources that can help them.
The Central District of Seattle, WA is famous for its diverse culture and thriving economy. Located in the center of the city, the CD has been home to a number of cultural icons including Jimi Hendrix, Quincy Jones, Bruce Lee, and Sir Mix-a-Lot.
However, art and music aren’t the District’s only strong points. The neighborhood also houses unique architecture, a number of beautiful parks, some excellent medical facilities.
The region is also home to a number of valuable addiction resources.
The 12-step programs, detox facilities, and rehab centers in the Central District are important. It’s no secret, after all, that Washington State is in the midst of an opioid crisis.

Drug and Alcohol Detox in Central District, Washington
Drug detox is a crucial step in the recovery process. This is the stage in which an addict stops using and flushes all drugs out of their body.
The flushing process happens naturally. Once the person ceases using, their body expels all of the chemicals out via sweat, urine, and vomit. This process is notoriously comfortable. Oftentimes, addicts experience withdrawal symptoms in detox.
It’s possible to go through the process alone. Some people are able to quit cold turkey. But, attending a professional detox treatment center increases an addict’s chances of getting through withdrawals without relapsing.
In a detox program, the addict withdraws under the supervision of medical professionals. These doctors take measures to make the process as comfortable as possible. They also limit the addict’s access to drugs, eliminating their ability to relapse.
There are several detox centers near the Central District. Each one offers its own unique benefits and facilities.

After detox, addicts must rehabilitate. This is how they learn to live as a sober person. The rehabilitation process involves learning to identify triggers, manage stress, and move forward without relapsing.
Similar to detox, addicts can do this on their own. But, addiction treatment centers offer resources that make it a lot easier.
In a professional rehab program, recovering addicts undergo intensive therapy and counseling. They work with mental health professionals who help them to understand the things the drive them to use. They focus on developing coping mechanisms that help them to avoid drug use. And, they spend a lot of time supporting other recovering addicts through recovery.
There are two forms of rehab: inpatient and outpatient. Each of these types works well for different people. Depending on the addict’s lifestyle, schedule, and responsibilities, they may opt to choose one of the other.
Seattle is home to a number of different rehab programs. There are both inpatient and outpatient options.
We want to help you get sober. Take a look at our drug rehab and alcohol rehab pages!
Alcoholics Anonymous
Alcoholics Anonymous, aka AA, is an 80-year old network of recovering alcohol addicts. The organization holds daily meetings for alcoholics in nearly every city in the world. All of these meetings are free. Everyone is welcome. The only requirement is that all participants have the desire to get sober.
In a typical AA meeting, alcoholics get together to discuss their lives. They talk about their pain. They open up about the mistakes they made. And they learn from each other’s stories. Members unite over the common experience of struggling with addiction.
The people in AA each work through the Twelve Steps. This is the foundation of the organization. The Steps are a systematic approach to getting sober. Throughout the Steps, each member works to accept their condition, address their mistakes, and repair the damage they’ve caused. Everyone supports each other as they work through the Steps at a comfortable pace.
There is a lively AA community in Seattle. Anyone who struggles with a drinking problem should try one of these meetings out.

Narcotics Anonymous
Narcotics Anonymous, or NA, is based around the same model as AA. Members of this group work through the Twelve Steps in an effort to get clean. The organization holds free, daily meetings that recovering drug addicts can go to find support.
In these meetings, addicts share their experiences and talk about their regrets. They also update the group on the status of their recovery. Like AA, this is a non-judgmental group that preaches compassion. No matter what someone has done in their life, how they’ve behaved or who they’ve hurt, the group will welcome and supports them.
Addicts from all different backgrounds are members. There are rich folks, poor folks, and people of every race and creed. There are meth addicts, heroin addicts, cocaine addicts, and prescription pill abusers in The Program. Whatever a person’s drug of choice happens to be, they are welcome in NA.

SMART Recovery
AA and NA are fantastic addiction resources. They’ve both helped countless addicts to overcome their substance abuse issues.
But, they don’t work for everyone. There is no fix-all cure for addiction. So, some people find that Anonymous programs aren’t able to help them.
Luckily, there are other options.
SMART Recovery is one of the most popular alternatives to Twelve Step programs. These meetings take a different approach than AA and NA. While they still hold daily support groups, they approach addiction from a more scientific perspective. Members essentially focus on re-training their brain to abstain from drug use.
Some people avoid Twelve Step programs because they believe that AA and NA are Christian organizations. This mostly has to do with the fact that the Second Step asks members to find a “higher power” for themselves. While the Second Step is open to interpretation, a lot of people interpret it as a code word for God.
SMART offers a 100% non-religious program that leaves the higher power out of the equation. Thus, it often appeals to those addicts who want to avoid spiritual discussion.

Al-Anon
Al-Anon is a support group for the friends and family members of addicts. After all, these folks are usually impacted just as much as the addict themselves.
When someone loves a person with a substance abuse habit, it’s easy for them to get overwhelmed. This situation produces complex emotions like anger, guilt, shame, embarrassment, and fear.
Sometimes, a person may feel all of these at once. These emotions can be tough for them to manage if they don’t have anyone to talk to.
Al-Anon gives them a place where they can go to talk. This organization holds free support group sessions. In these sessions, the children, parents, siblings, and spouses of addicts get together to share their feelings. They listen to others’ stories, share advice, and help each other cope.
No one should have to deal with this pain alone. Al-Anon is a great, supportive resource for anyone who just wants to talk.

Alateen
Alateen is an offshoot of Al-Anon designed for young people. Experts estimate that more than 8 million children live with at least one addict. Those kids need support, too.
It is important for children to understand that their loved one’s addiction is not their fault. Alateen stresses this point. It also gives them a place where they can meet other kids who understand their experience. This helps them to realize that they’re not alone.
Children who grow up with an addict in their family are at high risk of developing their own substance addiction. The more support they receive, the less likely it is that they’ll become users themselves.
So, any child who is affected by a family member’s addiction should give this program a try. It could be a valuable resource for them.
