But there is no one “right” way to treat an addiction. There are many options for recovery resources that are available in this area, but people may not know about them.
12-Step support groups can be very beneficial for people in recovery. Peer counseling is known to be an important part of the healing process. Alcoholics Anonymous and Narcotics Anonymous meetings can meet this need, and there are many meetings in the local area.
Also, families who are struggling because of an addicted loved one need support as well. Al-Anon and Alateen offer support groups for family members who need help. There, they can learn how to cope and how to avoid enabling behaviors. They also get the opportunity to talk with others who are facing similar situations.
We are not affiliated with these programs in any way. But we think more people need to know that they are there to help them. These are just some of the addiction recovery resources that are available in the Redmond area.
While addiction can undoubtedly have an enormously destructive on nearly every aspect of an individual’s life, one of the most devastating effects of a substance abuse problem is the risk of an overdose.
The problem has actually gotten so bad that drug overdoses are now the number one killer of Americans under the age of 55.
That’s why today, it’s so important to know both the signs of an overdose and what to do when they occur.
Not all overdoses look the same. And knowing the unique signs of each drug type can be crucial for helping a victim get the emergency support they need.
Below are some of the most common signs of an overdose for the most widely abused drugs today.
Alcohol – Perhaps one of the most widely-abused addictive drugs overall, alcohol’s legality leads many to think that it’s safer than it actually is. But in truth, alcohol poisoning is quite common and deadly. Here are some of the signs to watch out for:
Cocaine – A well-known and highly-abused illicit stimulant, cocaine is a drug that can very easily lead to an overdose when abused. Some signs of an overdose on this drug could include:
Heroin – Many people know how dangerous this illicit opioid is. And in fact, it’s one of the most notoriously deadly drugs of all time. 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 – Also known as “ice” or “glass,” crystal meth is a potent stimulant that’s seeing record levels of abuse today. It’s also incredibly dangerous. Some signs of a meth overdose include:
Benzodiazepines – These prescription medications are used to treat depression, anxiety, and other medical conditions. But today more than ever, they’re also a common source of abuse. And when they’re taken recreationally, they can lead to potentially fatal consequences. Here are some common signs of a benzo overdose.
Prescription Opioids – One of the main causes of the raging opioid epidemic, prescription painkillers like OxyContin and Vicodin are powerful medications that are incredibly addictive. And when they’re taken in excess, they can be deadly. Some signs of an overdose on prescription opioids like OxyContin or Vicodin include:
Treating a drug overdose effectively takes expert care. And while there are a few things you can do to help, it’s absolutely vital to contact emergency services as quickly as possible. As such, if you notice the signs above call 9-1-1 immediately.
If you do have to leave the side of the victim (even for a minute), be sure to place them in the recovery position to prevent any deadly complications.
After calling emergency services, you’ll likely be asked a number of questions about the situation. It’s critical to answer each of these questions honestly and as accurately as possible. Operators can only help when they have the right information at hand.
Some of these questions might include:
They may also ask you to induce vomiting, perform CPR, or administer other care measures to ensure the best outcome. Always follow these instructions as closely as possible.
Once the ambulance does arrive, the EMTs on board will be able to provide a higher level of care. They may use specialized equipment to help prevent further problems and treat current ones. And they might also use certain overdose-reversing medications like naloxone too.
Ultimately, the key to the absolute best outcome is getting help quickly, answering questions honestly, and following instructions completely.

Many people are under the false impression that addicts are only where they are today because they lack the willpower to get clean. For them, sobriety is only a matter of dedication and how strongly you can stick to your own ideals.
However, the truth is that recovery isn’t just about willpower. And in fact, the overwhelming majority of addicts that try to quit on their own end up failing.
Instead, recovery is about getting the right kind of treatment while also receiving support along the way.
Unfortunately, so many addicts (nearly 11% of those open to treatment in fact) just don’t know where to find that vital support. But luckily, there are plenty of local support groups in the Redmond, WA area to choose from.
Here are some of the best.
Alcoholics Anonymous is one of the most widely available and popular support groups in the entire world. Since its founding in 1935, its membership has grown to more than 2.1 million.
Part of its success has to do with its accessibility. Meetings are found in many towns around the country, membership is free and 100% anonymous, and anyone can usually attend meetings.
Its success also has to do with the model it’s built on – the 12 steps of recovery. These steps were created to help recovering addicts adopt a life of honesty, courage, and humility as they recovered. And what’s more, the 12-step model is even supported by the National Institute on Drug Abuse as one of the few evidence-based behavioral therapies for addiction.
There are quite a few AA meetings near Redmond to have a look at too.

Rather than focusing entirely on one type of addiction like AA, Narcotics Anonymous opens its doors to any kind of substance abuser, whether they’re hooked on heroin, crack, meth, alcohol, or any other kind of addictive substance.
NA groups also follow a 12-step model based on those used in AA. And like its parent group, these meetings are open to all, entirely free, and fully anonymous.
There are quite a few Narcotics Anonymous groups happening in the area to take a look at.

Many friends and family members of addicts face serious emotional problems and life hardships because of their loved ones’ addiction. And unfortunately, they rarely receive the support they need to stay healthy, happy, and safe.
Al-Anon aims to do just that. These groups are 12-step-based, and while they aren't quite as numerous as other groups, there are still plenty of meetings taking place around Redmond, WA.

12-step groups aren’t the only source of support either. And for some, the lessons and beliefs found in these support groups just won’t jive with their personal ideas about recovery.
SMART Recovery is a secular and non-spiritual alternative to 12-step groups. These meetings teach members actionable strategies and techniques for overcoming cravings and avoiding triggers. And for many, it’s been a critical part of their recovery process.

In this new digital age, addiction support is more flexible and accessible than ever thanks to online support groups.
These support groups can take place in a variety of ways, from real-time chatrooms and online forums to video calls and teleconferencing – it just depends on the group.
Below are just a few of the best online support groups to get you started.
While support during recovery is vital for avoiding relapse, it isn’t the only thing required. And in fact, the overwhelming majority of addicts will need a much higher level of care than support groups alone can offer.
That’s where professional treatment programs come in. These programs use empirically-based programs to deliver treatments scientifically proven to help support recovery. These treatments can be medicated in nature (as with methadone or Vivitrol), holistic (nutrient-rich meal plans, exercise regimens), or a combination of both.
In the end, a professional program offers the absolute best odds at long-term recovery.
There are two main types of professional programs available: detoxification programs and rehabilitation programs.
During detoxification, the physical side of addiction is the main concern. Once a drug is removed from an addict’s routine, their body begins to re-adjust to functioning normally without it. Unfortunately, this process is also accompanied by a slew of uncomfortable symptoms known as withdrawals.
What a professional detox program does is it helps keep substance abusers from turning back to using to avoid these symptoms (which is quite common). It also gives addicts peace of mind since these programs can prevent and treat life-threatening complications that may pop up along the way.
Once detox is over, rehabilitation is next. While detox is focused on the body, rehab is more concerned with the mind. It focuses on the psychological side of addiction. And with counseling, group talk sessions, and behavioral therapies, these programs build the lasting life strategies that help recovering addicts resist temptation and stay sober longer.
There are also a couple of different types of rehabs to choose from.
Finding the right program to meet your unique needs can be tough. But the more information you know about a program, the better able you’ll be to determine if its right for you.
Below are just a few questions to consider asking a treatment program to help you narrow down your options.
As we mentioned earlier, 12-Step support groups have their benefits, but they are not for everyone. Most people find that they need a higher level of care; especially in the beginning.
Working with professionals has so many benefits. The individual can learn so much about themselves and their addictive behaviors. They can learn how to avoid relapsing and how to live without being dependent upon substances to get through each day.
There is only one alcohol and drug rehab program that is located in the Redmond area, according to the SAMHSA treatment locator. It offers outpatient services.
There are additional options that are located within 10 miles of Redmond. In fact, the area offers close to 30 for people to choose from. They are a combination of both inpatient and outpatient programs.
We offer one of the best outpatient rehab centers right here at Ashwood Recovery. We have a location to make coming to treatment more convenient.
No two addictions are the same, and likewise, people need their own approach to recovery. That is why we have three levels of care. It gives people the options they need, and we can ensure that they receive the right placement.
Our program includes a traditional outpatient rehab, intensive outpatient treatment and partial hospitalization services. Also, if our clients are in need of detox, we can make a recommendation for a program that we know and trust.
We even have a recommendation for those who live in Washington State and who do not want to travel for treatment. Our program there is called Northpoint Seattle, and they offer many of the same outpatient services we do. They also have three levels of care.
Northpoint Seattle has one location in Seattle. That makes it convenient for people who live in Washington State to find a program close to home.
Sometimes people contact us and they have never had any type of treatment before. Almost always, these individuals are most appropriate for inpatient care. We do have a facility in Washington State that offers inpatient services.
Northpoint Washington is located in Edmonds. They have a 28-day program that includes both detox and rehab. Their staff is always careful to create detailed follow-up instructions. That means that their patients often become our clients for outpatient services later on.
Northpoint Washington offers treatment for both alcoholism and drug addiction. They are known as one of the best rehab programs in our region.
Health insurance companies are now required to offer benefits to help cover the cost of alcohol and drug rehab. This is thanks to the Affordable Care Act, which most people are familiar with.
The benefits that people can receive for addiction treatment are all very different, based on the individual’s policy. But typically, the coverage for outpatient services is very good. Some insurance companies will even cover the costs completely. For those who need inpatient care, they may need to pay a small co-pay.
At Ashwood Recovery, we have partnered with many of the major insurance companies in Idaho and Washington. We are even in-network with Blue Cross of Idaho, which is one that many people have.
When it comes time to partner with a professional treatment center, finding the right one to meet your specific needs can be tough, especially since there aren’t any within Redmond itself. However, sometimes making the choice to travel for treatment can end up being one of the best recovery decisions patients ever make.
And at Ashwood Recovery in Boise, Idaho, we offer the best IOP treatment in the Pacific Northwest. Our nationally accredited intensive outpatient program is built only on empirical evidence and specific needs of each patient. We also have one of the highest staff-to-patient ratios in the area, so you can be sure you’re getting the attention you deserve.
However, our program isn’t right for everyone. And your conversation with an addiction specialist will help you determine if you’re a good match.
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.
