Expert Insights

As someone who studied social work and worked at the heart of mental health crisis work, it does not make sense to me that Kent City Council passed an ordinance prohibiting the possession of drugs. I believe that instead of increasing the criminalization of possession — from a misdemeanor to a gross misdemeanor — we should be putting money towards harm reduction efforts like they’re doing in the neighboring state, Oregon. You cannot prosecute someone who has died from an overdose, but you can provide harm reduction supplies, reduce the spread of infection, and provide healthcare — all services that have been shown to increase people seeking recovery.

Paying for Alcohol and Drug Rehab in Kent

Kent, WashingtonCosts of rehab can vary depending on your needs and preferences, such as short-term or long-term programs, what types of amenities are included, and the level of support received. If you are among the millions of Americans that don’t have access to employer or state-funded health insurance, there are still plenty of options for you in Washington. In addition to low-income and free rehabs such as:

  • The Salvation Army
  • Alternative Counseling
  • Services through the King County Behavioral Health and Recovery Division

Scholarships might be available through private and state-funded programs, though they are usually reserved for those with the most severe need. If you have no other way to pay for addiction treatment, you can ask a facility you have your eye on, you might be surprised who has a scholarship fund available.

Medical loans are another way to pay for care, which might be found independently or offered through the center’s financing department. You can find out if a Kent drug rehab offers payment plans or other financing options by calling and asking the admissions team.

Private and Subsidized Health Insurance

If you have health insurance coverage through your employer or purchased coverage off the open marketplace, you can generally use that coverage to pay for drug rehab in Kent. Insurance companies that serve Washington, such as Kaiser, Regence BlueShield, PacificSource Health Plans, and Providence Health Plan, all have different policies and fees. Call your insurance provider by dialing the customer service number on the back of your card. They’ll be able to answer questions about rehabilitation, what services they pay for, and give you a referral to your nearest in-network addiction treatment program.

Medicare and Apple Health, Washington’s Medicaid program, provide payment for addiction services, including:

  • Outpatient
  • Detox programs
  • Inpatient, to an extent
  • Partial hospitalization programs (PHPs)
  • Intensive outpatient programs (IOPs)
  • Standard outpatient programs (SOPs)
  • Aftercare and case management services
  • Medication-assisted treatment (MAT)
  • Online consultations and telehealth services

To qualify for these free health insurance programs, you must either be very low-income or be above age 65 or disabled. Each program has different requirements and coverage limitations, so make sure to learn about what your plan would be able to cover before signing up for any program that needs your health insurance coverage.

Speak with your nearest health and human services agency to get screened and apply for Medicare or Apple Health. The Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) keeps track of certified programs and shows there are 17 accredited alcohol and drug rehabs in Kent, at least six of which offer some sort of financial assistance — whether it’s a sliding fee scale or a scholarship.

Washington Drug and Alcohol Laws

Laws in Washington include the following regulations regarding substance use and misuse:1,2,3

Drug Courts: Washington residents who are charged with a first-offense, non-violent substance-related crime that does not involve DUI may be eligible to attend court-ordered rehab instead of serving jail time.

Good Samaritan Law: Washington’s Good Samaritan Law is designed to encourage people to call for medical assistance during an overdose. The law protects those who call 911 from prosecution for minor drug-related charges.

Naloxone Access: Washington state laws allow anyone at risk of drug overdose or who may be in a position to help someone experiencing an overdose to obtain and administer naloxone. Additionally, doctors may prescribe naloxone directly to an organization, such as a homeless shelter, and some pharmacies can dispense naloxone to individuals without a prescription.

DUI Laws: In the state of Washington, the following drug paraphernalia is illegal, and possession of it is considered a misdemeanor punishable by up to 90 days in jail and a $1,000 fine.

  • Cocaine spoons or vials
  • Scales and balances
  • Hypodermic needles or syringes
  • Equipment used to test strength and purity
  • Kits to process or manufacture illicit substances
  • Chemicals used for cutting or diluting illicit substances
  • Mixing devices
  • Packaging equipment
  • Pipes

Marijuana Laws: Marijuana is legal for both medical and recreational use in Washington. Adults 21 years and older can legally possess up to one ounce of cannabis, 16 ounces of marijuana-infused solid product, or 72 ounces in liquid form. All marijuana must be purchased from a state-licensed facility and consumed on private property. Driving under the influence of marijuana is illegal and punishable by jail time, license suspension, a $3,500 fine, insurance premium increase, and ignition interlock requirements.

Levels of Substance Abuse Treatment

Washington residents have varying needs when it comes to substance abuse care. Multiple levels of addiction treatment are available to meet those needs.

Detox

The detox process safely clears your body of all drugs and alcohol. This first step takes place in a hospital or inpatient setting, where medical personnel can supervise and make you comfortable during withdrawal.

Residential or Inpatient

Residential care typically involves group and individual therapy, family therapy, medication, and other recreational therapy methods. Participants receive these treatments while living at a facility under supervision at all times.

Partial Hospitalization Programs (PHPs)

PHPs are not as intensive as inpatient, because you only remain at the facility during treatment times. Methods of treatment usually involve some of the same methods used in residential care.

Intensive Outpatient Programs (IOPs)

IOPs provide several hours of treatment spread throughout the week. This typically includes individual and group therapy. Washington residents may transition to IOPs after completing a residential or PHP program.

Standard Outpatient

Standard outpatient programs involve two or three hours of care per week. This treatment often takes place at an outpatient clinic or at a therapist’s office. This level of care is best if you are highly motivated and have strong support systems.

Aftercare

Aftercare comes in the form of supportive, ongoing treatment such as 12-step groups, transitional housing, or other accountability groups. The aim of this support is relapse prevention.

Traveling for Drug and Alcohol Rehab in Kent

Accommodations: There are myriad temporary and semi-temporary housing opportunities in the city and nearby, with 314 hotels in the area and seven in the city and plenty of apartments and single-family homes for rent.
