John Volken

Founder John Volken Academy - Seattle

John’s first step to achieve the Foundation’s purpose was to establish WelcomeHome, a long-term residential drug and alcohol treatment facility that not only helps its members overcome their addictions, but also teaches them many important, necessary, and valuable life-skills, so that they develop mentally, physically, socially, emotionally, and spiritually. Recently, the Foundation’s Board of Director’s, in honor of its founder, changed the name of the treatment facilities to the John Volken Academy. There are currently 3 John Volken Academies, in Vancouver, Phoenix, and Seattle. These facilities not only offer one of the most effective treatment programs, but also one of the most affordable. Other than a relatively small one-time admittance fee, the entire costs of the program, as well as all members’ basic living costs while in the program, are paid for by John’s Foundation.

More Information

According to the Partnership at Drugfree.org, about a dozen counties in Washington have chosen to raise sales taxes by 0.1 percent, and use that money to help people recover from their addictions so they don’t end up in jail. Programs like this have had a huge impact on recovery services available in the state, and it’s quite possible that you could benefit. If you’re addicted and worries about money are keeping you out of Washington drug treatment centers, it might be time for you to learn just a little bit more.
Types of Care Available
There are many different Washington drug treatment programs, and the costs for these programs can vary dramatically. For example, some people choose to enroll in private, residential drug rehab programs. Here, they can get help for their addictions while living on a campus that supports their sobriety and provides them with a variety of treatment options that could help them learn how to live healthier, happier lives. These programs can be expensive, but they can provide meaningful help.

Other people choose to enroll in public day programs in which they’re provided with intensive addiction treatments, but that care is subsidized in part by donations or government funds, and the people go home at the end of each day. There are also Washington drug rehab centers that sit in the middle of these two extremes, providing care either on an inpatient or an outpatient basis.

Questions to Ask

Choosing the right Washington treatment center will be vital to your long-term success in sobriety, so it pays to be picky and ask questions before you enroll.

If you’re eligible for Medicaid benefits, you might receive funding for some of your care, according to the Washington State Department of Social and Health Services, but you’ll need to use specific programs that accept this form of care, and you’ll need to set that up before you enroll. Your case manager may be able to provide you with that information, or you can call us for help.

We maintain a list of providers who accept Medicaid payments, and we can help smooth your enrollment process.
