And though this mostly-residential area is filled with beautiful homes and well-kept parks, it is no stranger to drug and alcohol addiction problems.
Like many other areas of Seattle, residents of Holly Park struggle with substance abuse problems without knowing where to turn to for help.
But fortunately, there are plenty of nearby addiction resources to help keep recovering addicts safe, supported, and sober in the long run.
This complete guide to addiction resources in Holly Park takes a closer look at these sources of support.
Overdosing is without a doubt one of the most destructive risks of a continual substance abuse problem. Not only can it cause serious physical problems that may end up lasting a lifetime, but it can also bring with it the risk of death.
In fact, overdoses are becoming increasingly deadly in the United States in particular. In 1999, nearly 17 thousand people lost their lives to drug overdoses. And in 2017, that number jumped by a whopping 316% to more than 70 thousand deaths.
The overdose problem has actually gotten so out of control that it’s become the number one killer of Americans under the age of 55.
One of the best ways of combating this growing trend is knowing how to spot the signs of an overdose and knowing what to do to treat one.
Not every overdose is going to look the same. And in fact, symptoms tend to vary between different types of drugs.
Below are the most common symptoms of overdosing involving the most widely-abused drugs today.
Alcohol – Alcohol is both widely available and addictive. And when taken in excess, it can lead to serious health problems. Here are some of the signs of alcohol poisoning to watch out for:
Prescription Opioids – These drugs are typically used to treat pain in patients. But they’re also highly addictive and quite dangerous. Some signs of an overdose on prescription opioids like OxyContin or Vicodin include:
Cocaine – One of Americas most widely-abused drugs, cocaine is powerful and dangerous. Some signs of an overdose on coke may include:
Benzodiazepines – These drugs are usually prescribed for depression, anxiety, and other mood disorders. But they can also be addictive and abused recreationally. Here are some benzo overdose signs to watch out for.
Heroin – An especially dangerous illicit drug, the signs of a heroin overdose usually include:
AIRWAYS AND LUNGS
EYES, EARS, NOSE, AND THROAT
HEART AND BLOOD
SKIN
STOMACH AND INTESTINES
NERVOUS SYSTEM
Crystal Meth – An exceptionally powerful stimulant, meth is as damaging as it is addictive. Some signs of a meth overdose include:
If you spot the signs of an overdose above, the absolute first step should be contacting emergency services by calling 9-1-1 immediately.
They’ll be able to send an ambulance to your location and give you the next steps you should follow to help.
However, if you are alone with no one else to help, be sure to put the victim into what’s known as the “recovery position.” This position is a simple and effective way to prevent life-threatening complications like vomiting and choking.
Once you've contacted emergency services, they'll likely ask you a variety of questions to help better understand the situation at hand. These questions may include:
The key here is to answer each of these questions honestly and accurately. The better information you provide, the better the final outcome will be.
Operators might also tell you to perform life-saving actions like CPR or inducing vomiting. Be sure to follow instructions as closely as possible.
After the EMTs arrive at your location, they’ll use medical-grade equipment and medications like naloxone to help treat the victim. They’ll also probably transfer them to a hospital for more complete care as well.
Overcoming a substance abuse problem is no easy feat. In addition to withstanding the initial cravings and withdrawals associated with quitting, recovering addicts need to be able to stay vigilant for days, weeks, and even years after getting clean. Because one slip-up could mean falling back into the depths of addiction.
That’s why every recovering addict needs not only willpower but an enormous amount of support from others. This support can help keep them motivated and emotionally backed so that they can better deal with the trials and tribulations of getting sober.
And luckily, there are plenty of local support groups around Holly Park, WA to choose from. Below are some of the best.
The original 12-step group, Alcoholics Anonymous began in Akron, Ohio in 1935. And since then, its membership has grown to more than 2.1 million around the world.
It isn’t any wonder, then, that AA is one of the most widely known support groups ever.
Part of this popularity comes from the effectiveness of the 12-step model – an approach to recovery that’s even backed up by the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA).
But another aspect that makes it so popular is its accessibility. Meetings are free, open to all, and are committed to protecting the identities of members.
AA can be one of the best ways to get support in overcoming alcoholism. And in the Holly Park area, there are a variety of meetings taking place every single day.

One of the first offshoots of AA, Narcotics Anonymous is another 12-step group built on the same principles of accessibility and anonymity. But unlike Alcoholics Anonymous, NA is open to substance abusers of any kind, not just alcoholics.
That means individuals struggling with an addiction to heroin, crystal meth, cocaine, or even alcohol are all welcome to attend.
Meetings aren’t quite as close or numerous as AA meetings. But even still, there are quite a few to choose from nearby.

Alcoholics themselves aren’t the only ones hurt by their drinking problem. Friends, family members, and even coworkers can all be negatively impacted by someone’s addiction to alcohol. And unfortunately, many of these individuals don’t get the help they need to stay safe and supported.
Al-Anon is a 12-step group devoted to these often-untreated victims of alcoholism. And for many, it’s been a vital source of support and healing.
Meetings are semi-widespread. And around Holly Park, there are a few to choose from. Below are some of the closest.

Opening up to others about your experience with alcohol can be tough. And it can make things even harder for young people who are surrounded by others way outside of their age group.
That’s where Alateen comes in. This 12-step group is devoted specifically to helping youths get the support they need. Membership is usually restricted to a certain age range to help members feel more comfortable sharing and receiving help.

Growing up in an alcoholic home can be quite traumatizing for some. And this trauma can continue to cause problems years and even decades later well into adulthood.
Adult Children of Alcoholics (ACoA) is a 12-step support program designed to treat the unique needs of individuals still struggling with this type of trauma. It’s a vital source of support for individuals that may never get it otherwise.

Not everyone will respond the same way to 12-step programs. For some, the “spirituality” of the group can be hard to accept. And for others, the 12 steps themselves just might not fit with how they think recovery should be.
Luckily, there are quite a few 12-step alternatives to choose from. And SMART Recovery is one of the best around. This group provides actionable, evidence-based strategies for helping addicts cope with cravings and avoid triggers. And meetings are led by certified instructors rather than members themselves.
Meetings are pretty close to the Holly Park area too. Have a look below for more information.

It can be tough to make it to in-person meetings. Sometimes schedules don’t align, transportation breaks down, or the stigmas surrounding addiction prevent many from getting help.
But whatever the underlying reason, there are more flexible alternatives to consider. Online support groups are some of the best.
These groups take place via any smart device/computer and the internet. They can be handled through email, real-time chat groups, or even through video calling programs like Skype. It just depends on the group.
Below are some of the best places to get started.
Support is always a vital part of any recovery plan. Its key to helping recovering addicts actually maintain their sobriety. However, getting that support isn’t actually the first step in treating a substance use disorder. Before that, the overwhelming majority of addicts will need to check in to a professional treatment program.
A professional treatment program uses evidence-based strategies and therapies to help patients overcome the initial and later stages of quitting an addictive substance. And when they’re used effectively, they can end up offering the best recovery rates out of any method of quitting.
In general, there are two main types of professional treatment programs: detoxification programs and rehabilitation programs.
Detoxification is step one. This process helps patients withstand the often-grueling physical and mental withdrawals that pop up once a user quits a drug. Some of these symptoms may include:
And for many, these symptoms can end up being so uncomfortable that they end up turning back to drugs just to get a bit of relief.
A professional program can go a long way towards reducing the severity of these symptoms and even minimizing the duration of the process. Plus, they are also able to prevent and treat any dangerous complications that may occur along the way.
Rehabilitation comes next, and it's more concerned with the long-lasting mental effects of an addiction. Compulsive drug seeking behaviors, poor stress management techniques, and underlying co-occurring disorders are just some of the focuses of this program.
There are three different types of rehab programs too.
There are quite a few treatment centers within Seattle, though none in Holly Park itself. But even still, making the choice to travel for addiction treatment can actually lead to far better outcomes in terms of recovery.
That’s because traveling for treatment can open up the door to many other programs. And with more options at hand, you can choose which program best meets your individual needs. Finding the right program, then, is far more important than finding the closest.
But there are other benefits to leaving your hometown for treatment too. Below are just some of the best.
Thanks to the numerous resources available in Holly Park, Washington, no one should ever feel like they have to go through their addiction recovery alone. From overdose help and local support groups to professional treatment, this area of Seattle has everything you or your loved one needs to stay safe, find support, and get clean.
And when it does come time to partner with a professional program, Northpoint Washington is just a short drive away.
At Northpoint Washington, we’re proud to offer some of the highest quality drug rehab and alcohol detox/rehab services in the Pacific Northwest. Each of our programs is individually tailored to meet the specific needs of our patients. We also have one of the highest staff-to-patient ratios in the area, so you can be sure you’re getting the care you deserve.
Plus, our services are actually nationally accredited by the Joint Commission for the quality of treatment.
Not everyone will be a good fit for Northpoint Washington though. Having a conversation with a qualified addiction specialist is one of the best ways to determine if its right for you.
But no matter what, we’re dedicated to helping as many people overcome their drug problem as possible. And we’d love to be a driving force in your recovery.
So, call us today to get started right now.
Our admissions coordinators are here to help you get started with treatment the right way. They'll verify your health insurance, help set up travel arrangements, and make sure your transition into treatment is smooth and hassle-free.
