How to Choose Treatment in Olympia

If you’re looking for the best fit for your needs in Olympia, you have options. You’ll find withdrawal management, outpatient programs, recovery housing, and medications for addiction treatment (MAT). Residential treatment options are limited, especially for teens and pregnant individuals. If you need longer-term inpatient care or have specialty requirements, you may wish to consider traveling to surrounding areas. You can also request bridge care if beds are full. Most private insurance plans are accepted and Washington’s Medicaid (Apple Health) covers most treatments at little to no cost. If you do not have insurance, you may qualify for government-funded support. 

Can I start detox in Olympia today?

Yes — help can start today. Call a same-day center to begin medication for withdrawal or stabilization. Call first to confirm space:

• Olympia Bupe Clinic at Capital Recovery Center: 360-349-0033

• Royal Life Centers at The Haven (Lacey): 888-719-3990 

When you call, ask about language services and transportation access as needed. If they’re full, ask for bridge care (telehealth, interim medications, groups) so you can start right away. You can also call the Washington Recovery Help Line (1-866-789-1511) or the local Thurston/Mason Crisis Clinic (360-586-2800) any time for guidance and referrals. 

Do I need to travel for rehab, or is care available in Olympia?

Depending on the type of care you need, you may need to travel. Olympia and surrounding Thurston County offer withdrawal management, outpatient programs, and MAT, as well as shorter-term residential options. If you need residential treatment for teens, long-term inpatient care, luxury programs, or specialized care, the best option may be to travel outside of Olympia.

Paying for Addiction Treatment in Olympia

How much does rehab cost in Olympia?

Rehab prices can look overwhelming, but most people pay far less once insurance or financial aid is applied. Before you start treatment, ask for a written estimate, whether the program is in-network for your plan (and if prior authorization is required), and ask about sliding-scale fees or financial help. Learn more about the cost of rehab. 

Typical Costs (publicly funded or community-based programs; not luxury):

• A little over three months of residential care in Olympia usually costs about $25,050 if you pay out of pocket. With insurance that covers 80%, you’d pay closer to $5,010 total — or about $1,540 per month.

• A three-month intensive outpatient program in Olympia usually costs about $10,840 if you pay out of pocket. With insurance that covers 80%, you’d pay closer to $2,170 total — or about $720 per month.

What private insurers provide in-network coverage in Olympia?

Many major plans include in-network options, commonly Premera Blue Cross, Regence BlueShield, Aetna, Cigna, UnitedHealthcare, Kaiser Permanente, Humana, and others. Always confirm network status, prior authorization, and copays with your plan and the facility.

Are there free or low-cost rehab programs in Olympia?

Yes — you can find free or low-cost programs in Olympia. Start by dialing 2-1-1 for referrals, including housing and transportation support, call the Washington Recovery Help Line (1-866-789-1511), or use the Free, Sliding Scale Fee, and Payment Assistance. If you do have insurance, your plan may cover some or even the full cost of treatment — you’ll need to call the facility to confirm.

• Apple Health (Medicaid): Washington Medicaid covers substance use for eligible residents. Certain groups receive priority access, including pregnant people, people who use drugs intravenously, and youth. 

• State Substance Abuse Block Grant funds: These funds can cover care for uninsured residents. 

• Community-based support: Sea Mar Community Health Centers and Northwest Resources II accept Apple Health and use sliding-scale fees or grant funds for those without insurance. Union Gospel Mission programs are free. 

• Emergency stabilization: In a crisis (such as life-threatening withdrawal or intoxication), call 911 for medical emergencies or text or call 988 for 24/7 crisis support. Care will be provided regardless of ability to pay (you may receive a bill later for hospital or transport services; financial-assistance programs are available through local hospitals).

Keep in mind there are many free non-clinical peer support and counseling resources available as well.

Start by listing what you need and what your plan covers, then choose an option you can start now and stick with. The programs below are examples of options that may be a good fit depending on your needs — explore them to see which might be right for you.

Choosing the Right Rehab

How do I choose the right level of care?

Start with an independent assessment from a clinician who specializes in substance use problems and isn’t employed by a treatment center. They can help you choose between treatment options like outpatient, residential, hospital inpatient, withdrawal management (detox), and medications used alongside therapy. Learn more about choosing the right rehab for your needs. 

Who can help me choose the best rehab in Olympia right now?

Call the Washington Recovery Help Line at 1-866-789-1511 24/7 for statewide support. Locally, the Thurston/Mason Crisis Clinic and community agencies such as Capital Recovery Center and Sea Mar can help you explore your options. Washington also has certified peer counselors with lived experience to help guide you through next steps. When you call, say: “I’m in Olympia and need [detox/IOP/residential]; I have [insurance/Medicaid/no insurance]. Do you have openings this week?”

How can I check if an Olympia rehab is licensed (and accredited)?

Substance use treatment programs in Washington are required to be licensed as Behavioral Health Agencies by the Department of Health (DOH). You can check a facility’s license status, and see if there have been any complaints, by searching DOH’s online directory. You can also call a facility and ask if they hold national accreditation (The Joint Commission, CARF, or COA). Accreditation isn’t required, but it’s a useful extra quality signal. Learn more about accreditation and other indicators of quality care.
