But even still, Maple Valley is no stranger to the dangers of drug and alcohol addiction. And just like so many other cities in Washington and across the country, many residents here struggling with substance abuse just don’t know where to get the help they need.
This guide to addiction resources in Maple Valley, WA takes a closer look at some of the best resources in the area. Detailing overdose help, local support groups, and professional treatment options, it aims to keep residents of this comfortable Washington city safe, supported, and sober.
Though the problematic effects of substance abuse are widespread, few are quite as destructive as an overdose.
Overdoses can cause serious harm to both the body and the mind. And for many, that harm can lead to lifelong disabilities with no hope of recovery.
On top of that, overdoses can and regularly do lead to death as well. And today, death from a drug overdose is more common than ever.
For instance, in 1999 the number of fatal overdoses was around 17 thousand. But in less than two decades, the number of Americans that lost their lives to a drug overdose reached over 70 thousand. That’s a rise of more than 316%.
The problem has gotten so bad that drug overdoses are now the number one killers of Americans under the age of 55.
Today more than ever, it’s vital to know just exactly what an overdose looks like – and what you should do to help.
The key to treating an overdose is getting treatment fast. And the better you are at spotting the signs early on, the easier that will be.
Below are some of the most common signs to watch out for.
Prescription Opioids – Drugs like OxyContin and Vicodin can be quite helpful in treating pain. But they were also some of the main drivers of the current opioid epidemic. And they can very easily become deadly when they’re abused. Below are some of the most notable signs of an overdose.
Cocaine – A powdery illicit stimulant, cocaine is one of the most popular club drugs today. And it can be especially dangerous too. The signs of an overdose could include:
Heroin – Usually melted and injected straight into the veins, heroin is perhaps the most notorious illicit drug today. And part of that is due to just how deadly it can be. Some signs of a heroin overdose usually include:
AIRWAYS AND LUNGS
EYES, EARS, NOSE, AND THROAT
HEART AND BLOOD
SKIN
STOMACH AND INTESTINES
NERVOUS SYSTEM
Crystal Meth – This potent upper is highly addictive and exceptionally powerful. Some signs of a meth overdose include:
Benzodiazepines – These prescription medications are often used to treat mood disorders like depression or anxiety. And though they can be very helpful when used properly, users risk addiction and overdose when they’re abused. An overdose on benzos may include symptoms like:
Alcohol – Even though drinking has become an incredibly common event for many people across the country, over-drinking can be lead to an overdose quicker than many might expect. Here are some of the signs of alcohol poisoning to watch out for:
The key to treating an overdose is to get medical help – and to get it fast. It’s critical, then, that if you spot the signs of an overdose, you call 9-1-1 immediately.
The operators on the other end of the line will be able to send an ambulance to your location while instructing you on how best to treat the victim.
If you do have to leave the victim alone, though, be sure to place them into the recovery position. This simple yet important step can go a long way towards reducing the risk of serious complications like vomiting or choking.
The operator will also likely ask you a range of questions to better assess the situation. It’s vital that you do not lie about any information you provide. Because doing so can make it much harder for them to provide the right kind of advice and treatment.
Some questions they might ask could include:
They may also tell you to administer CPR or perform other treatment measures to help improve the outcome.
When the EMTs arrive, they’ll likely take over treatment. They may use specialized equipment like AEDs or powerful medications like naloxone to help treat or even reverse the overdose. They’ll also likely transfer the victim to a hospital for further care.
Support is a critical part of any recovery plan. That’s because no matter how determined the individual or how high the hopes, overcoming an addiction isn’t just about willpower. And in most cases, people who try to tackle their substance abuse problem alone aren’t able to stay sober in the long-term.
Finding a local support group that caters to your needs, then, isn’t just something that can benefit recovery, but it may actually be essential.
Luckily there are plenty of local support groups to choose from in the Maple Valley area. And once you find the right one, it can go a long way towards promoting sobriety for years to come.
When most people think “support group,” they probably imagine Alcoholics Anonymous. And it shouldn’t be hard to understand why. From 1935 when this group was founded, its membership has grown to well over 2.1 million.
Part of the success of AA is due to the 12-step model that it developed. This model has actually been so effective at promoting sobriety that it’s even endorsed by the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA).
But beyond that, Alcoholics Anonymous is also incredibly accessible. Anyone who wants to control their drinking may join, meetings are usually open to all, and groups are particularly numerous around the United States.

This was one of the earliest offshoots of Alcoholics Anonymous. And though it follows a similar structure and model, Narcotics Anonymous is open to addictions of all types – not just alcoholism.
Plus, meetings are pretty easy to find too, though not quite as much so as AA meetings.
Generally, anyone is welcome to attend these meetings, though some are closed off to members only.
And there are quite a few taking place in the Maple Valley area too.

Addicts themselves aren’t the only ones that suffer from a substance use disorder. And in fact, friends and family members often don’t get the support they need to stay happy, healthy, and safe.
Al-Anon is a 12-step plan designed with these individuals in mind. It offers friends and family members of problem drinkers the opportunity to share their story, learn from others, and find guidance and support where they may have otherwise had neither.
In the Maple Valley area, there are quite a few Al-Anon meetings available too.

Young people may have an especially hard time opening up to others, especially when they’re surrounded by people well outside of their own age group. But even still, they need just as much support – if not more – than anyone else.
Alateen is designed specifically with these individuals in mind. Members are typically restricted to certain age groups (unique to each meeting). And this can lead to a more free flow of ideas, encouragement, and support.
There aren’t quite as many meetings nearby as other 12-step groups. But even still, there are a few to choose from around Maple Valley.

Growing up in an alcoholic home can be incredibly damaging, especially when there’s emotional or physical abuse involved. And unfortunately, many people who do have a childhood tainted by a parent’s drinking just don’t get the support they need later in life to overcome that lasting trauma.
Luckily, there’s a 12-step group focused specifically on helping these individuals maintain a healthy and functional lifestyle. And it’s called Adult Children of Alcoholics or ACoA.
There aren’t many ACoA groups in the area, but there are 3 in particular to look into.

12-step groups are often thought to be the only way that individuals can get support if they’re struggling with a substance abuse problem. However, there are quite a few alternatives available that can fill the place of 12-step groups, especially when this approach to recovery doesn’t mesh well with your particular beliefs or attitudes.
SMART Recovery is one of the best 12-step alternatives available today. It focuses on providing members evidence-based strategies and techniques to empower them on their journey to sobriety. And they’re also structured as a group just like 12-step groups.
However, they’re non-spiritual in nature and are actually led by certified instructors rather than members themselves.
And around Maple Valley, there are quite a few SMART Recovery meetings to check out.

While in-person meetings offer a more lasting approach to sobriety, they aren’t always as flexible as some people may hope.
And when it comes to a full schedule or a broken-down vehicle, getting to those meetings can be hard in certain situations.
Online support groups offer a far more flexible approach to support. These can occur in a variety of formats: over email, through real-time chats, via video conferencing. It just depends on the group.
And below are some of the best places to get started if you’re looking for an online support group.
>Overcoming an addiction takes an enormous amount of work, dedication, and support. And unfortunately, many recovering addicts aren’t able to achieve sobriety using local support groups alone. Many will need a much higher level of care.
That’s where professional treatment programs come in. Professional addiction treatment programs are built on hard science. They use evidence-based treatments and strategies to help get patients through the toughest times of recovery and to empower them to remain sober for the long-term.
In the end, professional programs offer far better rates of recovery than any other method.
While higher success rates are undoubtedly the best benefits of a professional treatment facility, there are a few other perks of partnering with an addiction program to help on your journey to sobriety.
Some of the most notable are below.
The majority of professional programs fall into one of two categories: detoxification and rehabilitation.
Detoxification is the first step of a professional program. It deals primarily with the initial stage of quitting called withdrawal. This is when the body has to re-acclimate to functioning normally without the help of the addictive substance. And while the process is necessary, it can bring on a range of seriously uncomfortable side effects. These may include:
For some, these side effects can be so problematic that they will turn back to using to get some relief.
A professional detoxification program helps keep patients from relapsing while treating these symptoms to make the process far more manageable. On top of that, they can also help prevent and treat serious complications, some of which can be life-threatening.
Rehabilitation is the second phase of a treatment program. And while detox is concerned mostly with healing the physical dependence, rehab is more concerned with the psychological dependence.
Using treatments like one-on-one counseling, group talk, and behavioral therapies, rehab gives patients the healing and the guidance they need to stay sober in the long-term.
Research has also shown that without rehabilitation, detox alone does little to nothing to change future substance abuse.
There are three different types of rehab programs too.
There are plenty of addiction resources in and around Maple Valley for residents to take advantage of. With everything from overdose help and local support groups to professional treatment, no one needs to suffer through a substance abuse problem without knowing where to find help.
And when it does come time to find a professional program, the Imagine Bellevue is one of the best options around.
