Happy is the man that findeth wisdom,
and the man that getteth understanding.

Rainier Counseling's State Certified Outpatient Drug and Alcohol Recovery Treatment Programs:

We offer 4 distinct treatment program options for drug and/or alcohol-related problems. Each of these programs provide topical psycho-educational learning experiences, counseling and support within the context of individualized treatment plans.
  1. Intensive Outpatient Program (1 - 2 year program):

    These programs are designed to meet the needs of clients who have significant chemical dependency problems. Clients referred by the Department of Licensing are required to complete a program of up to 2 years in length (depending on the attainment of treatment goals) while Deferred Prosecution clients are required to complete the entire 2-year program. This program is also appropriate for clients who have successfully completed an inpatient chemical dependency program however, other clients may enroll in the 1-year program but their completion dates will vary depending upon progress toward treatment goals.

  2. Relapse Prevention Programs

    These programs are appropriate for clients who have a significant chemical dependency problem and who have relapsed while enrolled in another outpatient treatment program or subsequent to having completed a treatment program. These programs are differentiated from the intensive outpatient programs by fewer psycho-educational sessions, fewer individual counseling sessions and by their focus on relapse prevention issues.

  3. Co-Occurring Disorder Treatment Program

    In recognition that up to 70% of chemical dependency problems also involve other mental disorders, this program provides treatment that address both disorders simultaneously. This program is designed to help eliminate psychiatric symptomatology while focusing on the recovery from alcohol and drug problems.

  4. 6-8 Month Alcohol/Substance Abuse (Abuser) Program

    This program is designed for individuals who are experiencing problems with drugs and/or alcohol but who do not meet the diagnostic criteria for chemical dependency. Education, group and individual counseling, and support are provided to reinforce wise choices and to prevent future problems with the use of alcohol and/or drugs.


Note: We are careful to include in our treatment programs a measure of flexibility that permits us to tailor make each client's treatment program to fit their particular and unique needs.

Philosophy About Alcoholism and Addiction:
  • Alcoholism and other drug addiction are primary, diagnosable, and treatable diseases for which abstinence is the foundation for recovery.
  • A person with alcoholism or other drug addiction can never return to the use of alcohol or other mood-altering chemicals without adverse effects.
  • A return to drinking or drug use during recovery is viewed as a sign of relapse and is not an indication of failure of the individual or program.
  • Every effort should be made to include the family and significant others in the treatment process
  • Treatment should encourage involvement with 12-Step or other abstinence-based self-help groups during and after completion of professional treatment.
  • Treatment should be offered only in discrete settings under the supervision of knowledgeable chemical dependency professionals.
