Walk-Ins Accepted at The Recovery Village Ridgefield

Do You Accept Walk-Ins?

Although we highly recommend scheduling your admission in advance to avoid extended wait times, The Recovery Village Ridgefield Detox Center accepts walk-in patients for our highest level of substance abuse treatment between 9:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m in Vancouver, WA. Walking in does not guarantee admission to care, and walk-ins are not accepted at our main Ridgefield facility.

Before you can be admitted, our Recovery Advocates will work diligently to ensure:

Our programs are the right fit for your needs and you’re eligible to start care with us, determined through a pre-assessment
Your health insurance coverage is accepted or you’re able to private pay, and you know what costs you may incur
You’re willing to start detox and rehab and have all your questions answered about staying with us

What to Expect If You Walk In

Before entering The Recovery Village Ridgefield Detox Center, the reception team may ask a few screening questions to ensure you’re eligible for our detox and rehab services and looking for same-day admission. Our admissions phone line is available for other questions or needs.

You’ll be welcomed into a waiting area with a special admissions phone line, where you’ll call to complete your pre-assessment, insurance verification and approvals. If approved, you’ll be provided an approximate wait time, as walk-ins are handled between other scheduled patients’ admissions. Admission is not guaranteed.

While you’re waiting for approval, you can enjoy a comfortable waiting space with a TV, and we’ll keep your luggage secure, off to the side but in your sight.

Once your admission is set to begin, the facility staff will conduct a mandatory search of your person and belongings to maintain the well-being and sobriety of all residents in our facilities. Any items not permitted during treatment will be securely stored until your stay ends. Additionally, occasional searches may occur throughout your stay.

How Does Scheduling My Admission Help Me?

Scheduling your admission in advance is highly recommended, with several benefits:

A shorter wait time when you arrive onsite
Knowing your rehab costs, what to pack and facility policies before you get there
More prep time for your medical team to know what you’ll need, like dietary restrictions or allergies

The Rehab Experience After Admission

Patients at The Recovery Village Ridgefield Detox Center complete a medical detox under medical supervision, then transition to inpatient rehab and lower levels of care as they progress through their care plan. Inpatient rehab and partial hospitalization (PHP) are offered after detox at our main facility in Ridgefield, WA.

Medical Detox

With 24/7 medical supervision, treatment for withdrawal symptoms and a safe environment, our medical detox helps make withdrawal as comfortable as possible.

Inpatient Rehab

Inpatient rehab helps you focus completely on your recovery. Clients live onsite and undergo the most intensive, structured programming available.

Partial Hospitalization Program

A step down from inpatient care, PHP gives clients more independence and free time as they begin to manage their own recovery while remaining on site.

What luggage or items should I pack with me?

At most facilities, only one (1) piece of luggage will be accepted. Remember that our team must review your luggage and securely store any contraband items for the duration of your stay. You can find our packing list and policies online.

What happens to my belongings while I’m waiting for admission?

Your luggage will be kept separate from you while you wait for admission approval, unopened and still in your sight. This is important for patient safety and maintaining a substance-free environment. If you’re unable to start treatment with us, your luggage will be returned to you unopened. If you are accepted for admission, a thorough search of your luggage will be necessary before starting care.

Will I lose my job if I leave for rehab?

Federal laws and workplace policies are in place to protect people who want to recover from addiction. Understanding your rights as an employee and having a plan can help you keep your job during treatment. If you’re considering using FMLA benefits to protect your job while you’re in rehab, it’s really important to start the process as soon as possible, even before you arrive for treatment. You’ll need to contact your employer to start the paperwork required for FMLA. To protect your privacy, you only need to say you’re seeking medical treatment.

Will I be able to start treatment immediately?

Scheduled admission appointments are prioritized over walk-ins, so there may be a wait time after you’ve been approved. An estimated wait time will be provided but is not guaranteed.

Insurance and Your Obligation During Treatment

Nearly all health insurance plans require you to pay some out-of-pocket costs to access your healthcare benefits (collectively, the “Patient Responsibility”).

An intake coordinator will review your Patient Responsibility with you during admission or as soon as you are medically stable. They will explain the deductible is due during admission and that the co-insurance amount and out-of-pocket balance will be billed and paid for once services are complete. Onsite financial counselors will review your financial responsibility again during treatment with case managers who can help you navigate FMLA and short-term disability.

Before admitting at The Recovery Village Ridgefield, you must check with your insurance provider to ensure you understand your individual benefits plan. Your insurance plan may not be a “participating provider” with The Recovery Village Ridgefield. You are responsible for all non-covered and out-of-pocket costs related to your treatment stay.

Your Privacy Is Important to Us

The Recovery Village Ridgefield recognizes your right to privacy. We hold each person’s confidentiality in the highest regard.

Upon arrival at The Recovery Village Ridgefield Detox Center, each patient can complete all required releases of information to allow staff to discuss important information with necessary others for continuity of care. Without the patient’s prior written consent, no information will be disclosed to any party, following all HIPAA guidelines and requirements.
