Not only can people attend rehab online, but there are also virtual 12-Step meetings that many might find beneficial. It can be hard to reach out for help with a substance abuse problem. But this is a close-knit community with lots of support.
12-Step programs are some of the best recovery resources that people have available to them. Alcoholics Anonymous and Narcotics Anonymous have proven to be very effective. In fact, these two organizations have been responsible for assisting millions of people worldwide in reaching their recovery goals. SMART Recovery is an additional resource that is not based on a 12-Step program, but that has proven to work well.
Families typically struggle the most when a loved one is addicted to drugs or alcohol. They may not know where to turn for help. Al-Anon and Alateen are both there to provide support to hurting families and young people. They offer weekly meetings that are free of charge to attend.
Though we are not affiliated with these programs, we do believe in them. In addition to detox and rehab, they are important addiction recovery resources that more people need to be made aware of.
There are a number of detox facilities in the area. These facilities help addicts to withdraw from drugs or alcohol. They are a valuable resource for any addict who wants to get clean.
Oftentimes, detoxing is the most uncomfortable step in the recovery process. When an addict stops using their drug of choice, they experience all kinds of unpleasant symptoms. Professional detox helps to alleviate some of these symptoms, making it easier to get the drugs out of your body.
If you want to get clean, it benefits you to consider detox. A professional facility can help you to withdraw in the safest, most comfortable manner.

Rehabilitation is also very important for addicts. This is the process where they get used to living life life as a sober person.
Some people are able to rehabilitate on their own. But, many people benefit from attending a professional drug rehab program.
In rehab, addicts work with therapists and counselors to develop methods for staying sober. They learn how to identify and cope with triggering situations. They also work on stress-management techniques. Ultimately, these tools help them to avoid relapsing in the future.
Furthermore, addicts also meet with other patients for group support sessions. These sessions show the addict that there are other people who’ve had similar experiences. And, it shows them that recovery is possible.
The transition from addiction to sobriety is never easy. But, a professional rehab program can help to make it a lot easier.

When a person is considering starting an addiction treatment program, they need to know what to look for. The best rehab centers offer individualized services, and their methods are very personalized. Every client should get their own treatment plan, and it should include treatments that will benefit them, according to their needs.
The SAMHSA treatment locator tool tells us that there are only two addiction treatment programs located in Walla Walla. Both of them are less than a mile away from the center of the city.
Of course, there are additional options available outside Walla Walla. There are three more programs that are all located less than 25 miles away.
Out of the five programs that are located close to Walla Walla, four of them offer outpatient services. There is only one that offers residential or inpatient rehab.
As far as which option is preferred, that is a very individual decision. Some people need the higher level of support that accompanies an inpatient program. Others can do well in an outpatient setting, and it is what will benefit them the most. Many addiction treatment programs offer free phone assessments that can help people choose the one that is right for them.
It may come as a surprise, but it is also possible to attend a rehabilitation program online. There truly is no substitute for physically going to rehab. But not everyone is able to do that. Today, there is no reason to be concerned because our technology allows for virtual rehab and treatment.
Telehealth and various online platforms can be used to help staff connect with their clients. It is possible to participate in individual therapy sessions, group therapy and more, all from the comfort of home.

Alcoholics Anonymous is a global support network for people who suffer from alcohol addiction. This organization hold meetings where alcoholics convene to help each other get (and stay) sober.
AA meetings are free and open to all. They happen every single day in cities and towns all over America. They also happen in other international countries, as well. Most meetings are conducted in churches, town halls, schools, restaurants, and other public places.
Meetings are very encouraging for newly sober people It helps for them to meet and connect with folks who’ve been clean for many years. It shows them that recovery is possible. But, they’re also beneficial for people who’ve managed to stay sober, as it offers them a way to “give back” to the sobriety community. Many members continue to attend meetings for years after they’ve cleaned up.
The entire AA program is based around The Twelve Steps. This is a system designed to help people overcome negative habits. Throughout the Steps, members learn how to forgive themselves for their mistakes and move forward in a more productive manner.
If you can’t stop drinking, AA could be the right program for you. The Walla Walla Alcoholics Anonymous community is eager to help you get sober.

AA and NA are valuable for many people. However, they certainly don’t work for everyone. All addicts are different. So, each person must find the approach that works best for them.
Fortunately, there are all kinds of alternatives. SMART Recovery is one of these alternatives. This program offers a similar type of support to Twelve Step groups. But, it operates a bit differently.
Instead of using a 12-step system, SMART uses a 4-point system. Addicts work through these points in order to take practical steps toward a drug-free life.
Many people prefer SMART Recovery over AA or NA because it avoids spiritual discussion. After all, a “higher power” is a frequent topic of discussion in Anonymous groups. And, the Third Step specifically asks people to pray to their higher power. So, a lot of non-religious folks are hesitant to join.
If you are skeptical of AA or NA, this could be a good resource. It’s open to everyone, no matter what type of drugs they do.

Al-Anon is a support group for people who are related to addicts. These folks often suffer just as bad as addicts themselves. So, Al-Anon gives them a place where they can go to talk about their feelings with others who’ve experienced the same situation.
In these meetings, family members and friends open up about their emotions. The group offers advice on how to manage certain situations like addiction interventions. For many family members, it’s a necessary form of support.
If you have a loved one who is hurting themselves with drugs or alcohol, this could be the perfect resource for you. Al-Anon will help you to cope with the complex emotions this situation brings about.
There are a couple of weekly Al-Anon meetings in the area. We’ve listed them below:

The Alateen website also offers regularly scheduled chat meetings for teenagers online. These meetings are monitored by an adult at all times. Also, young people are always welcome to join in with Al-Anon meetings.
There could be any number of reasons why a person might need to attend a 12-Step meeting online, rather than in person. Fortunately, that is possible.
When the Affordable Care Act was signed into law in 2010, it required all health insurance companies to offer benefits for addiction treatment. But many people in the United States do not realize that their insurance policies have this type of coverage. Because they think treatment is not affordable, they opt to continue to try to quit on their own instead.
At Ashwood Recovery, we know the importance of making treatment affordable. That is why we have partnered with several of the most popular insurance companies in our area. We are in-network with Blue Cross of Idaho, Multiplan Insurance, USA MCO Insurance, and many others.
The coverage that may be available will vary, depending on the policy. Some people find that their health insurance covers treatment in full. Others will find that they need to pay a small copay.
Some people do not have health insurance, which can make it difficult for them to afford to go to rehab. HealthCare.gov can be a great resource to find a policy that will help to cover the costs, at least in part.
If getting health insurance is out of the question for financial reasons, there may be other ways to pay for rehab. SAMHSA is a great place to start. They offer grants that can defer the costs of rehab, and that money will cover both detox (if needed) and rehab in full.
Some creative thinking may be needed in order to pay for a private rehab facility without health insurance. Some of the suggestions we have to offer include:
At Ashwood Recovery, we do not want finances to stand in anyone’s way of getting the help they need. We want people to know that we are here to help. We are in-network with some of the top insurance companies in Washington. We also participate with Cobra plans in the event that a client has lost their job, gotten furloughed or laid off.
