When first entering treatment at Hotel California by the Sea in Bellevue, Washington, clients have what we call a “blackout period” where they will not have access to any of their electronic devices except in urgent situations.
The blackout period is vital to a successful recovery and allows the client and their family and loved ones to spend time refocusing and beginning to heal. After the end of the blackout period, clients are given full electronic privileges once approved by their clinical professional. Keep in mind that electronic device privileges may be suspended at staff discretion for non-compliance with program rules and guidelines.

You’ve probably noticed that many people who abuse alcohol or other substances will travel far from home to receive recovery treatment. Although it can be difficult to leave your loved ones, this is a proven benefit for many clients. When people suffering from a substance use disorder try to receive treatment close to home, it can sometimes make it more difficult for them to step out of their everyday life and to focus on their recovery.
Traveling also allows a client to separate themselves from negative situations, such as an abusive or negative relationship, as well as remaining away from friends who use drugs or alcohol. Distancing yourself also helps with avoiding familiar places, people, and situations that may trigger you to abuse drugs or alcohol.
Do not bring any cash to treatment. Instead, we suggest bringing a prepaid Visa or MasterCard to buy needed items while in treatment. Family and loved ones may add money to your prepaid card once you’re here.
As you probably suspect, the length of your treatment will vary depending on several factors, such as how long you have been an addict, whether or not you have other underlying medical or mental health conditions, and what your insurance coverage will allow.
We will tell you that the longer you can commit to staying in treatment, the higher your chances of a long and successful recovery.
