Frequently Asked Questions

Whether you're seeking treatment for yourself or someone you love, having questions is completely normal. Below, you'll find answers to some of the most common questions we receive about our addiction treatment programs, therapies, and aftercare support.

Families, patients & referral partners

Visiting, arrival & practical information.

What should I bring?

Bring comfortable clothing (shirts, pants and shoes are worn at all times) and sealed snacks if you like. Laundry detergent is provided.

These items aren't allowed:

  • anything containing alcohol, such as perfume, cologne and some lotions;
  • aerosols;
  • razors, nail clippers and other sharp items;
  • nail polish and mirrors;
  • hair dryers and flat irons;
  • candles;
  • energy drinks and pre-workout;
  • glass items;
  • refillable vapes;
  • anything not in its sealed original packaging.

Clothing with drug, alcohol, gang or explicit themes isn't allowed. If you're missing something, that's not a reason to stay away — tell admissions and they'll help you sort it out.

Can I bring my phone?

Yes. Phones, laptops, tablets and other devices with cameras are stored securely during your stay to protect everyone's privacy. Calls with people you've authorized are scheduled around treatment activities.

Can my family visit?

Visitors sign in, agree to protect other patients' privacy and wear a visitor badge. Bags and items may be checked.

How is family involved in treatment?

Family programming runs every week for family members and other support people. A family session with your clinician can be arranged on request, in person or virtually. Family can join programming once you've signed a release of information.

Can family send mail or drop things off?

Yes. Family and friends can send mail and packages or drop items off. Letters and packages may be opened in front of you to check for items that aren't allowed, but staff never read your letters.

Can I bring my own medications?

Yes. Bring them in the original, labeled packaging. At admission the attending provider reviews everything you bring, including vitamins, supplements and over-the-counter products, and decides what continues during your stay.

Can I smoke or vape?

Yes, at set times in designated areas, with staff supervision. Your nicotine products are stored securely between those times, and lighters stay with staff. Refillable vapes and vape juice aren't allowed.

Will you tell callers I'm here?

No. Staff won't confirm that anyone is a patient without that person's written authorization.

Can my family get updates?

Only with your written consent naming who can receive information and for what purpose. A general consent doesn't cover family; you sign a specific consent for each person.

Can you meet dietary needs?

Yes. A registered dietitian approves the menus. Gluten-free, diabetic, lactose-free and vegetarian options are available, and you can ask for an alternative at every meal. Cultural and religious needs are accommodated.

Is help available for language or disability needs?

Yes. Language assistance is provided for people with limited English, and reasonable accommodations are made for disabilities. You can ask out loud or in writing, and staff will help.

Is there a minimum age?

Yes. Patients must be 18 or older.

Common Questions

Frequently asked questions.

What types of addiction do you treat?

We treat a wide range of substance use disorders, including alcohol use disorder; opioid and opiate addiction (heroin, fentanyl, prescription painkillers); stimulant use (meth, cocaine); and benzodiazepines (Xanax, Valium, Ativan).

Do you treat co-occurring mental health conditions?

Yes. We offer integrated care for clients managing both addiction and mental health challenges, including ADHD, anxiety, bipolar disorder, depression, personality disorders, PTSD, psychosis, schizoaffective disorder, and sleep disorders.

Will I need medical detox before starting treatment?

In many cases, yes. Medical detox is an important first step for individuals physically dependent on substances like alcohol, opioids, or benzodiazepines. At Olympia Grove Recovery, detox is medically supervised, with nurses monitoring symptoms and responding to changes. During admissions, we'll assess your needs and determine if detox is necessary before starting the rest of your care.

How long does treatment last?

It depends on your individual needs and insurance coverage. Length of stay is determined by medical necessity, and our team builds a personalized plan for detox and residential treatment that supports your recovery goals and meets you where you are.

How many beds are at your treatment center?

Olympia Grove Recovery has 80 beds available for residential treatment. This allows us to provide a structured, community-oriented environment while still offering personalized care. Our treatment center is designed to promote healing, comfort, and connection throughout every stage of recovery.

What is medication-assisted treatment (MAT), and do you offer it?

Yes. Our medication-assisted treatment program uses FDA-approved medications to help reduce cravings and ease withdrawal symptoms. MAT is especially helpful for clients recovering from opioid or alcohol use, and every plan is individualized by our medical team and paired with therapy and emotional support. Specific medication decisions are made together with your doctor as part of your personalized treatment plan.

Do you accept clients who are on methadone?

Yes. Olympia Grove Recovery works with a certified opioid treatment program (OTP) under a written agreement, so adults on OTP-directed methadone can begin detox and residential care without pausing or tapering their medication. The OTP keeps full authority over the medication, and our team coordinates with it directly. If you're enrolled with a different OTP, you'll move to the one we work with — our team coordinates it, and you can be admitted before the move happens.

Does insurance cover treatment?

Olympia Grove Recovery proudly accepts both Medicaid and commercial insurance. Our admissions team is available 24/7 to verify your coverage and walk you through what's included. We're here to make treatment accessible and transparent.

Do you accept pregnant women?

Yes. Olympia Grove Recovery accepts pregnant women, and pregnant women are prioritized for evaluation. Before admission, our admissions team talks through the medical information our clinical team needs to plan safe care for you and your baby. If you have an OB provider, care is coordinated with them throughout the stay, and when opioid use is involved, medication treatment is used where indicated.

Can couples go to treatment together?

Yes. Couples can enter treatment at Olympia Grove Recovery together. Each person receives their own individualized treatment plan.

What happens after I complete treatment?

Your recovery continues beyond your last day in residential care. Discharge planning starts at admission, and a member of your care team offers to meet with you every week to plan what comes next. Before you leave, the team identifies your next level of care, makes referrals and schedules follow-up appointments when possible, and works to keep your medications going so care isn't interrupted. Before you leave, you receive a written discharge plan. Aftercare support includes individual or group therapy, relapse prevention planning, and referrals to ongoing mental health care and recovery resources, so you stay grounded and supported as you move into your next chapter.

How do I get started?

Getting started is easier than you think. Just call us, fill out our contact form, or request a quick insurance verification. Our admissions team will guide you from there—with compassion, not pressure.
