Lakewood, Washington is a major city in Pierce County, Washington. It has a fairly large population, and is also a great place to live. It’s close to many lakes, and there are also many attractions and festivals hosted in this city.
Much like the rest of Washington, Lakewood is facing its own drug and alcohol epidemic. Pierce County is already taking a lot of action by creating substance abuse prevention programs and more to keep drugs and alcohol out of American homes. With that said, the opioid epidemic is still wreaking havoc at this moment and causing a rather large ruckus.
Lakewood residents struggling with a drug and alcohol addiction problem need to learn more about the addiction resources that are in and around this city. Read this guide for more information.
Anyone struggling with an addiction should highly consider seeking out professional help from an alcohol and drug rehab facility. There are so many options to choose from. Thanks to the Affordable Care Act, all health insurance plans are required to cover most, if not all of the costs, for addiction treatment.
Some health insurance plans may offer varying levels of coverage depending on whether the addiction treatment programs offer inpatient care or outpatient care. Here are the differences between the two:
There are over 15 alcohol and drug detox and rehab facilities in Seattle, and many of these facilities are in and around Lakewood, Washington. These treatment centers offer not only inpatient care, but also outpatient care as well. It is extremely easy for substance abusers in Seattle to get the help that they need.
Studies show that anywhere from 40% to 60% of recovering addicts will relapse. These numbers are shocking, but it does draw attention to one significant issue — why do recovering addicts relapse so often and so frequently?
The answer to that question is that most addicts simply are not equipped with the tools and skills needed to face an addiction head on for the rest of their lives. While addiction treatment can get them started on the right path, they must stay motivated to abstain from drugs and alcohol. Unfortunately, many recovering addicts end up right where they started when faced with a stressful situation.
One of the main keys for lifelong sobriety is to go to a recovery meeting or support group. There, recovering addicts can find a shoulder to lean on and a sympathetic ear. They can feel motivated to stay sober. There are many different types of support groups. Choose from some of the options below to get started.
Founded in 1935, Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) is a fellowship of men and women who want one thing and one thing only: to stop drinking and to get sober. AA meetings are faith-based programs that teach members the skills needed to stay away from the bottle. They help members become more self-aware of their own actions and learn how to deal with cravings. AA meetings have helped millions of recovering alcoholics worldwide to stay sober.

Science-based meetings are all the rage nowadays. They offer a different approach than faith-based meetings. Many recovering addicts have seen a lot of success with these types of meetings.
One of the most popular types of science-based meetings is Self-Management and Recovery Training (SMART).

Many people hesitate to get treated at a drug rehab or alcohol rehab facility because they don’t believe that they have an addiction. They may abuse drugs and alcohol, but they may not necessarily experience withdrawal symptoms when quitting or may not necessarily struggle with other signs of an addiction.
