In determining the value of a rehabilitation center, two of the best indicators are patient satisfaction and recovery rates, and, at Lakeside-Milam, the numbers in both these areas are impressive indeed. Over one half of all referrals to Lakeside-Milam come from former patients, which indicates that patients are quite satisfied with the treatment they received here (other referrals include interventionists, EAPs, other rehabs, and health-care providers). The recovery rates of all former patients revealed that 77 percent of the respondents were still clean and sober for up to four and a half years (recovery was defined as continued abstinence from all mood-altering drugs and alcohol, and maintenance of a state of social, physical, behavioral, and spiritual equilibrium).
Statistics such as these are the reason Lakeside-Milam Recovery Centers has a reputation for being one of the best treatment centers in the Seattle area and one of the foremost in the Pacific Northwest.
