Providence Behavioral Health/Recovery offers two levels of outpatient addiction treatment at its Lacey, Washington location: a standard Outpatient Program (OP) and an Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP). Both are built for people who are in the recovery process and need structured clinical support without a residential stay — whether that means stepping down from a higher level of care or beginning treatment while managing everyday responsibilities.

The IOP level provides more frequent therapeutic contact than standard outpatient, which can be critical during the earlier or more vulnerable phases of recovery. These programs are particularly well-suited to individuals who are motivated to engage with long-term substance abuse treatment and need a consistent, professionally guided framework to do so.

A significant number of people seeking addiction treatment are also managing a mental health condition — most commonly trauma or PTSD. Providence Behavioral Health/Recovery is equipped to treat co-occurring disorders and dual diagnosis as part of its core programming, which means clinicians here are trained to address the intersection of mental health and substance use rather than treating them as unrelated problems.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is the primary therapeutic method used at the center. CBT is particularly effective in dual diagnosis settings because it targets the underlying thought patterns and behaviors that connect mental health symptoms and substance use, creating a more complete path through treatment for people managing both.

This recovery center serves a broader range of populations than many outpatient programs. Providence Behavioral Health/Recovery explicitly serves adolescents, veterans, seniors and older adults, men, women, individuals who are deaf or hard of hearing, and people with court-ordered treatment requirements. That breadth reflects a program designed to meet people where they are rather than requiring people to fit a narrow profile.

Veterans and military families will find TRICARE accepted here, alongside Medicaid, Medicare, private insurance, state insurance, and self-pay options. Affordable access to quality substance abuse treatment is one of the practical factors that keeps people in recovery, and the range of accepted payment methods reflects the center's commitment to reducing that barrier for Thurston County residents.

Providence Behavioral Health/Recovery accepts a wide range of payment options, including Medicaid, Medicare, TRICARE, private insurance, state insurance, and self-pay. This variety makes the program accessible to a range of financial situations — an important consideration for people planning sustained outpatient treatment rather than a single episode of care.

The center is open Monday through Thursday from 8:00 AM to 6:00 PM and on Fridays from 8:00 AM to 2:00 PM. Prospective clients and family members can reach the center by phone at (360) 456-7575 to discuss program options and begin the intake process.
