“I didn’t really notice it was happening. It just started gradually happening, and then some people took me to one side and were like, ‘Calm yourself down.’ It’s all fun to begin with; it all starts off as a party, and then you’re doing it on your own and it’s not. So, that was a wake-up call."
~ Ed Sheeran on addiction
No one sets out to become addicted. And yet, addiction and alcoholism run rampant all over the world, destroying lives and stealing joy and success from people of all demographics. Even Ed Sheeran, an accomplished musician, took some time away to recovery when he realized he had a problem.
Perhaps you’ve realized you have a problem with alcohol or drugs, or suspect that could be the case. You’ve realized that your addiction is already causing negative consequences in your life, making you a less effective employee or harming those you love.
If this is the case, you have nothing to fear. All over the country, there are resources available to help individuals and families beat alcoholism and addiction and reclaim their lives from this disease.
Live near Yakima, Washington? The same is true for you. Below, we cover topics related to drug and alcohol use and addiction in Yakima, including:
For some, the biggest barrier to finding help for drug addiction or alcoholism is the cost. However, many widespread, tried-and-true resources for those who have struggled with addiction or alcoholism are available to anyone at no price at all.
These resources mostly take the form of organized support groups, both of former addicts and the loved ones of addicts. Four of the most popular of this kind of group are Alcoholics Anonymous, Narcotics Anonymous, Al Anon, and Alateen - and all of these groups can be found around Yakima and the surrounding cities.
Alcoholics Anonymous is a widespread group in which many have found great success in recovering from alcoholism. The group follows the 12 steps to recovery and makes use of a sponsorship system to measure progress and hold members accountable.
These sponsors are AA members who have been making their way through the 12 steps and now act as mentors to newer members. The goal is that eventually, these newer members have come far enough to become sponsors themselves.
The 12 steps of AA are:
If you think that Alcoholics Anonymous could be a healthy step towards recovery for you or a loved one, consider one of these regular AA meetings in Yakima, Washington, listed here.
Narcotics Anonymous, or NA, uses the same structure and steps of Alcoholics Anonymous, but with one main difference: instead of being geared specifically towards alcoholics, NA is designed for addicts of any substance.
If Narcotics Anonymous sounds like it could be beneficial to you or someone you know, check out one of the many NA meetings in Yakima, Washington:

The loved ones of addicts and alcoholics are often just as harmed by the addiction as the individual themself. These friends and family members are often neglected or abused, all while watching someone they care about become someone they don’t know. These loved ones often feel confused, angry, guilty, ashamed, or alone.
Al Anon and Alateen were both designed as support groups specifically for these populations - Al Anon for those of all ages, and Alateen specifically for older children and teens who could benefit from a group all their own.
Both groups focus on explaining what addiction really is, reassuring participants that their loved one’s addiction is not their fault, and teaching healthy coping strategies. Alateen usually also focuses on breaking any generational cycles that so often lead to the children of addicts or alcoholics becoming addicts or alcoholics themselves.
If Al Anon could be a good fit for you or someone you know, consider these Al Anon meetings in Yakima, Washington:

Sometimes, support groups and accountability just aren’t enough. Whether you need detox, counseling, or just additional structure and guidance, sometimes professional help is necessary to really kick an addiction. In this case, you’ll have to make plenty of decisions regarding what this professional help looks like. In this case, your first decision will be whether inpatient or outpatient treatment is best for you.
The best way to make this decision is to learn as much as you can about each option - you can keep reading to do just that.
Outpatient addiction treatment facilities, or outpatient rehab, refers to programs that patients attend regularly for some sort of treatment session, but leave at the end of their appointment. Those taking part in outpatient treatment still live independently, but agree to program rules and see counselors and other professionals regularly to continue treatment and hold themselves accountable.
If you think that outpatient addiction recovery sounds like the right option for you, consider the pros and cons.
The benefits of outpatient treatment include:
The potential downsides to outpatient treatment can include:
Inpatient drug addiction treatment is what most imagine when they hear the word rehab. It involves the recovering addict or alcoholic living in a treatment facility while they detox, withdrawal, or otherwise recover. Inpatient treatment facilities are staffed with trained medical professionals 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, and provide constant supervision and support.
Inpatient rehab has been very helpful for many former addicts or alcoholics - in fact, inpatient treatment has the highest success rate of any addiction recovery option. This means that of all of those undergoing treatment for addiction or alcoholism, those who complete an inpatient program are least likely to relapse.
That said, though, inpatient treatment isn’t for everyone. Consider the pros and cons of inpatient treatment, below.
The benefits of inpatient rehab include:
The potential drawbacks to inpatient rehab can include:
Despite the high success rate of inpatient addiction treatment, it’s not the right option for everyone. Because addiction is different for everyone, the route to a successful recovery will be too.
You know your body and addiction best, so while it’s wise to listen to the counsel of others, don’t let others’ opinions sway you from what you know to be the best option for you.

Read Our BlogIf you suspect that you or a loved one has overdosed on drugs or has alcohol poisoning, it’s best to get professional medical help as quickly as possible. In case of an emergency, always call 911.
Opioids have become more and more of a problem in the U.S. and worldwide, and people die from opioid overdoses every day. If you or a loved one regularly uses heroin or other opioids, you’re putting yourself at great risk. If this is the case, it’s best to prepare for the worst, because you never know when an overdose could occur.
Narcan and Evzio are both drugs approved by the U.S. FDA for the immediate treatment of heroin overdoses until emergency medical help can arrive.
If you or a loved one regularly uses heroin, the best thing to do is stop using. The second-best option is to make sure that someone who is often near you has and knows how to use one of these drug. Forms of these drugs are available as injections and nasal sprays.
The person who has the drug should make sure they regularly review how it is administered, to be sure they don’t panic if the time comes to use it for real.
Even if someone administers Narcan or Evzio, they should still call emergency medical personnel. These immediate treatments are not meant to be the only response in case of an overdose, and they don’t fix the overdose longer-term.
Cocaine overdoses can also kill a user quickly, so it’s important to think and act fast if you think you or a loved one has overdosed. As always, you should first call 911 immediately.
Once you have called 911, there are three things you can do while waiting for help to arrive:
Prescription drugs are different, so overdoses will look different depending on the drug. In an emergency, you should always dial 911 and seek medical help.
You can also call your local poison control center for more information on what to do during a prescription drug overdose in Yakima.

Take one of our addiction quizzes to find out if you or someone you care about needs help today.
It can be difficult to realize and admit that you or someone you love are an alcoholic or a drug addict. You didn’t start out as an addict, and how you got to be one may be a little unclear. If you still aren’t sure whether you need to find help or not, consider taking one of our quizzes to determine if you’re addicted to drugs or alcohol, if a family member is addicted, or if you need a professional detox or rehab program.
If you determine that you are an addict and do need help, consider finding it at Northpoint Recovery.
Northpoint Recovery is an inpatient facility with a 2-to-1 staff-to-patient ratio, meaning that every recovering addict has the individual attention of two different staff members, all day long. Northpoint provides both detox and rehab services in a comfortable, high-quality facility. Most importantly, the staff at Northpoint Recovery want to see you succeed.
While Northpoint Washington is in Edmonds, not Yakima, there are many benefits to attending rehab far from home. The most prominent of these benefits is that you have the chance to spend time away from the people, responsibilities, and other factors that influence your recovery while not worry about running into others you know. This way, you can fully focus on the task at hand: a full recovery and the skills necessary to avoid a relapse.
You can recover. It may not be easy, but it will always be worth it - for you and those you love.
