Located in Spokane County, Spokane, Washington's motto, "Near Nature, Near Perfect" certainly describes it well, as the high plains city is rich in history, culture, natural resources, arts and sports. However, as the second largest city in the state of Washington, it also has its problems. Substance abuse and alcoholism take their toll on both the rich and the poor of this city. It does not discriminate.
Spokane residents are addicted to a whole range of substances, from legal drugs to illegal narcotics. Different substance abusers have their own vice. Some even engage in polysubstance abuse.
Although Washington has legalized the recreational use of marijuana, drugs like heroin, meth, ecstasy and cocaine, and excessive alcohol are a threat to public health and safety like anywhere else. Much like with every county, unintentional opioid overdose deaths are on the rise. In 2016, there were 22 reported cases. This rate is significantly higher than the statewide rate.
Knowing where to look for the right resources is key to a successful recovery. There are rehabs in Spokane and also support groups, like Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) and Narcotics Anonymous (NA). If your family is affected by drugs or alcohol, Northpoint Recovery can guide you to the local support you need.
Home › Drug Information › Spokane Addiction Information InformationIllicit use of prescription drugs, like Oxycontin, and the abuse of illegal drugs, such as heroin, cocaine, methamphetamines and marijuana, rage across America among people of all backgrounds. Excessive use of beer, wine, vodka and other alcoholic beverages can spin out of control and devastate lives.Â
Even the "nicest" and most successful people can become addicted to drugs or alcohol. Most of these people never dreamed that their use could result in an addiction that controls their life. In fact, the use of illicit and prescription drugs is prevalent in the U.S. According to the CDC, in 2012,drug overdose caused more accidental deaths than motor vehicle accidents for people 25 to 64 years old.
If the use of drugs or alcohol has become a problem for you or someone you love, there are caring people who want to help you, not judge you. To learn more about sobriety and support services in Spokane, see the resources listed below.

Narcotics Anonymous (NA) is a well-known and highly respected 12-step program with groups across the country. NA welcomes those who are maintaining their sobriety after completing a rehabilitation program or anyone who is looking to get clean. Members don’t necessarily have to complete a substance abuse treatment program before joining NA. This may be the place where a new attendee first learns about rehab programs and what they offer. Attending NA meetings is free.
NA meetings follow twelve steps and principles that are often discussed at the meetings during step studies, book studies and speaker discussions. Members can also reflect on their behaviors and let any frustrations they have out during the daily reflections.Â
There are quite a few Spokane NA meetings around, so it’s easy to find one that will fit into one’s schedule. All meetings are open meetings, which welcome anyone, unless otherwise specified.

Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) is perhaps the best-known support group in the world. It is a fellowship of men and women all helping each other through their journey to get and stay sober. The 12 Steps taught by AA help people regain control of their lives, and reach and maintain sobriety.Â
AA is specifically for people who struggle with alcoholism. All alcoholic subtypes can benefit from going to these recovery meetings.
Many recovering alcoholics swear by AA, and, fortunately, there are a lot of different Spokane AA meetings for them to choose from. When choosing a meeting that will fit into one’s schedule, consider whether the meetings are open meetings, which welcome anyone, or closed meetings, which are reserved for recovering alcohol abusers.Â
It’s also important to take a closer look at whether the meetings offer childcare or handicap access. These meetings follow the same structure as NA or other 12 step programs. Some meetings will specifically deal with book studies, step studies, speaker discussions or daily reflections.

Al-Anon and Alateen are there for family members, including children and teenagers. These people are affected by a loved one's drinking or drug abuse. Al-Anon and Alateen provide guidance with boundary-setting, self-care and living with a person who is recovering from or still living with addiction. These meetings teach family members and friends break free from codependency.
Al-Anon is for anyone who has to deal with an addict. Members can be parents, children, grandparents, friends, aunts, uncles and more. These meetings follow twelve steps and principles that are similar to AA and NA.Â
Membership is free. It’s generally best to go to at least one meeting a week. Develop a routine, so it’ll be easier to stick with. Fortunately, there are quite a few Al-Anon meetings in Spokane. Finding one that fits your schedule shouldn’t be too difficult at all.

Alateen meetings are similar to Al-Anon meetings. These meetings are for teenagers who have a parent who is addicted to some type of substance. These meetings are unique in the sense that all participants are usually teenagers between the ages of 19. Some Alateen meetings welcome young adults up to 21 years of age.Â
There is only one Alateen meeting in Spokane. Those who can’t make this meeting can go to an Al-Anon meeting.
Meeting time: 7:30 AM
Group name: Together We Can Make It Alateen
Location: 502 E Boone Ave
While 12 step programs are extremely effective, they are not the only options available. Both substance abusers and their loved ones can also consider reaching out to the community to see whether there are any other types of support groups available. Some recovery meetings are private and held by people in the community with similar interests. There are also other recovery meetings that are offered by outreach campaigns.
Self-Management and Recovery Training (SMART) meetings are unique. They’re a bit different from AA and NA. These meetings follow a 4-point program. They teach members how to become self-reliant. They use techniques that are similar to the ones taught in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). For example, they teach members how to stop intrusive thoughts.Â
There aren’t any SMART meetings in Spokane. With that said, there is one meeting in Idaho. It’s about 30 minutes away from Spokane’s city center.
Meeting time: 5:30 PM every 1st and 3rd Wednesday
Location: 501 E Wallace Ave., Coeur d Alene, ID 83814 USA
Spokane is such a big city, and there are so many choices when it comes to addiction treatment. Maybe you've come to the conclusion that you need to go to a professional rehab center. The problem is that you aren't sure what you should be looking for. You'd be surprised how many people have the same problem.Â
There are several different defining characteristics you should look for. These characteristics will help to ensure that you're receiving excellent care for your recovery.Â
There are different forms of addiction treatment that you can choose from. Keep in mind that the right option for you might be different from what works for someone else. The key is to find the method that you will respond to the most.
There are about 9 inpatient addiction centers in Spokane. These rehab facilities offer different treatment lengths, most range between 28 and 90 days. Longer treatment times are usually reserved for more serious addictions. Patients will pack and move into the rehab facility for the entire time that they are receiving treatment.
Approximately 21 drug and alcohol treatment centers offer outpatient care. Some outpatient facilities offer standard outpatient programs. There are no commitments or obligations involved with this option.Â
Other outpatient treatment facilities offer Partial Hospitalization Programs (PHPs), which will require patients to go in every day for treatment. Treatment lengths range from 4 to over 8 hours every day. Another outpatient care option is an Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP). This program requires patients to get at least 9 hours of treatment every week.
Recovering from an addiction can be difficult when you aren't sure where to begin. You may not be sure what type of addiction treatment would work best for you. Maybe, you have loved ones who are encouraging you to get professional help, but you don't feel it's necessary. We want you to know that we're here to help you make these important decisions. We can offer you a free addiction assessment to see where you stand.Â
At Northpoint Recovery, our goal is always to provide the very best treatment for our patients. If you're in need of a referral, we can provide you with one. If you have additional questions that you'd like to have answered, we can assist you with that too. Above all, know that you're not alone. Help is available, and it is possible for you to recover and thrive in a life without addiction.Â
Can we answer any more of your questions about addiction resources in Spokane? Let us know how we can help by contacting us today.Â
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.
