About Greater Lakes Mental Healthcare – Lakewood
Greater Lakes Mental Healthcare is an outpatient clinic in Lakewood, Washington, that has drug and alcohol addiction treatment and mental health treatment. They do have an adult residential facility in the area, too, but this particular location is an outpatient facility.
At this treatment center they take a person centered approach. That means they don’t just treat your addiction in isolation but they look at you as a whole person and serve your needs in a holistic way. Your treatment will be designed around you and what you need for your recovery. This might include a 12 Step based model or treating a mental illness or healing from past trauma.
Because of their individualized approach, the treatment can vary a lot from person to person. You’ll have individual counseling and group counseling. You’ll get a deep education in addiction and relapse prevention, and you can also take advantage of techniques like art therapy and mindfulness. If you would benefit from medications for addiction like methadone or Suboxone, they can coordinate this with medical providers.
One thing I found especially notable about this treatment center is that they combine abstinence based therapy like 12 Step models with harm reduction techniques. They acknowledge that the recovery journey isn’t always a straight line, and they’re available to help you regardless. Plus they can offer court ordered DUI assessments if you’re in need of that service.
