In partnership with Statista, Newsweek named 200 of the best treatment centers nationwide. Lakeside-Milam Recovery Centers was ranked highest out of five in Washington State. Read on for more information about selection criteria and Lakeside-Milam’s evidence-based services.

Lakeside-Milam Recognized for Superior Treatment

As part of their commitment to reporting on all aspects of health care, Newsweek partnered with a global market research firm to rank the best facilities focused on addiction treatment. America’s Best Addiction Treatment Centers 2020 highlights the nation’s top centers based on reputation, quality of care, and accreditation.

Lakeside-Milam Recovery Centers is one of the leading providers of substance use disorder treatment services in western Washington. Today, the center has been recognized as one of the best addiction treatment centers in America and #1 in Washington State. Lakeside-Milam was one of only 200 treatment centers to make the national list and five recognized within the state of Washington.

“We are honored to receive this recognition from Newsweek,” said Carl Kester, CEO. “It reinforces our belief that at Lakeside-Milam, we provide the finest addiction treatment available anywhere. It is a testament to the excellence of our staff and the evidence-based care they provide. I am proud to work alongside them.”

Newsweek Selection Criteria

In partnership with Statista, an organization specializing in market and consumer data, Newsweek analyzed data from a variety of sources. These included survey responses from thousands of addiction treatment professionals, such as medical doctors, therapists, and counselors. Data from SAMHSA, the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration, was also used to select the best treatment providers in America.

Criteria included quality of care, quality of service, and quality of follow-up care, as well as accommodations and amenities.

“The fact that part of the criteria for this honor was the recommendation of physicians, therapists, and counselors outside of our organization makes this particularly meaningful for us,” said JP Liddle, Vice President of Business Development. “We are humbled by their continued trust in us to help their patients who suffer from a substance use disorder.”
