About MultiCare Kent Clinic – Kent
MultiCare Kent Clinic is a comprehensive care clinic in Kent, Washington offering primary medical care like family medicine alongside specialty services such as OB/GYN, occupational medicine and even behavioral healthcare. They’re one of several independent clinics operated by MultiCare, a leading community-focused healthcare network in Washington.
MultiCare partners with the Sea Mar network to provide an integrated care package that satisfies the core needs of their patients. Sea Mar is a network of community health centers offering outpatient behavioral health, primary care and preventive care to underserved communities.
The MultiCare and Sea Mar partnership makes sense since both of their clinics are often located within the same area. MultiCare offers behavioral healthcare including substance use recovery and mental health care, as part of integrated primary medical care. This behavioral care service may be provided via collaboration with a therapist from Sea Mar.
MultiCare Kent Clinic is located along State Avenue in downtown Kent, about 20 miles north of the greater Seattle metropolitan area. The location is about four miles north of Soos Creek Park, six miles northwest of Lake Meridian Park and eight miles south of Mill Creek Canyon Earthworks. These surrounding natural attractions add to its charm and offer a relaxing space where patients can sometimes unwind. The clinic also serves patients from Renton, Auburn and other surrounding areas.
They offer confidential and personalized substance use recovery in an outpatient setting. Both general outpatient and intensive outpatient treatment are available to accommodate clients’ varying needs. Intensive outpatient care is suitable for patients seeking more structured and intensive therapeutic support to address moderate to severe substance use.
The care providers will recommend an appropriate level of care following a thorough intake assessment. They’ll refer you to an inpatient facility within the community if your assessment indicates the need for high-intensity inpatient care like detox. The assessment also facilitates personalized care planning, ensuring treatment is tailored to your needs. The program involves individual and group therapy focused on building practical coping skills to prevent relapse.
You’ll also attend substance abuse education classes alongside relapse prevention programming to learn about the disease of addiction, stages of recovery and relapse warning signs. This prepares you to better manage triggers without relapsing.
The program incorporates abstinence based models involving participation in the 12-step practices of Alcoholics Anonymous and Narcotics Anonymous. This helps you build strong support networks that aid lasting recovery.
Experiential activities like mindfulness and art therapy are all part of the program. These activities foster the general wellness of the mind and body. Medication-assisted treatment is provided to help patients with opioid use issues manage withdrawal symptoms.
They also have a harm reduction strategy that may include free Narcan distribution, education on safe use and psychiatric care to support those with co-occurring conditions. This clinic may help with court-ordered counseling and assessment via referral to the clinic within the MultiCare network.
