About A Positive Alternative
A Positive Alternative is a progressive drug rehab facility located in Seattle, Washington. Support is available to adults aged 18 and older from all backgrounds and walks of life. Levels of care include separate intensive outpatient programs for both men and women and a mindfulness based six week relapse prevention course.
The intensive outpatient program is separated into men's and women’s programs for more effective results. With its personalized approach, programs at A Positive Alternative can take up to eight weeks or more, with many clients opting to take part in a weekly continued care group for up to three to six months post treatment. The intensive outpatient program consists of individual and group therapy, with modalities including cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavioral therapy, acceptance and commitment therapy and attachment theory. Communication and boundary skills education is provided, and mindfulness practices are offered as a key element of the recovery journey.
A Positive Alternative also offers a mindfulness based six week relapse prevention course. The course integrates cognitive behavioral therapy principles into its relapse prevention and mindfulness meditation practices. Activities are designed to increase awareness of destructive patterns and triggers and provide clients with the tools they need to support an ongoing recovery. Previous experience with mindfulness is not necessary. All clients must undergo a brief initial interview should they be interested in taking part.
A Positive Alternative primarily accepts self pay options. However, clients may be able to get partial coverage with private insurance plans such as Blue Cross, Aetna, Cigna and Humana. Clients are always advised to clarify coverage regarding out of network benefits with individual providers.
