New Start Clinics – Moses Lake

New Start Clinics offer low cost medication assisted treatment to help people navigate opioid use issues. They’re a top provider of opioid addiction treatment in Moses Lake, Washington. They have up to eight clinics spread across various locations including this one. This clinic is situated along East Penn Street and may also serve people from Ephrata and Richland. All past clients who have received services here have beautiful things to say about the clinic. This reflects an impressive commitment to quality care.

The clinic hopes to inspire a culture of optimal wellness and the general wellbeing of community residents. The thing I like most, though, is their affordability. They accept Medicaid, Medicare, Tricare and numerous private insurances. This keeps costs low and enhances access to care for low income earners.

The clinic is situated about a mile east of the city center which is easy to access via local roads like East Third Avenue. Grant Transit Authority offers local bus routes with a Route 2 stop near the clinic. This also links the clinic to various parts of Moses Lake. The I-90 corridor is about 3 miles from the clinic and offers access to the greater region. Moses Lake Airport is about 6 miles away and provides regional flights. Rideshare like Uber and Lift are available for transportation as well. So you have much flexibility when it comes to transportation.

The area is more residential but there are still retail outlets and restaurants nearby where you can grab a bite when hungry. Natural landmarks like Potholes State Park, Moses Lake Waterfront Park and Sagebrush Flats Wildlife Area offer avenues for relaxing when necessary. Should you consider joining a self group to strengthen your support network, there’s an NA group and Celebrate Recovery within one to two miles of the clinic.

Another thing to know is that New Start Clinic doesn’t keep oral medications on-site. They just prescribe it, so you can pick it up at the pharmacy you choose. Walgreens and Rite Aid are about 1.5 miles from the clinic. So you can get your meds here upon prescription. You can also check Moses Lake Community Health Center.

Medication assisted treatment pairs counseling with FDA approved meds to facilitate “whole person” recovery. That is both the physical and psychological symptoms of your opioid addiction are taken care of. New Start Clinics offers three forms of medication assisted treatment: Suboxone, Suboclade and Vivitrol.

These meds are effective in treating common opiates like fentanyl, heroin and prescription pain pills. When taken as prescribed, they normalize your brain chemistry, relieve physiological cravings and eliminate painful withdrawal symptoms. They also stop the euphoric effects of opioids that make you want to keep using and help your body get back to normal without the bad effects of the drug.

You can then focus on counseling to address the psychological symptoms. Counseling helps you understand why you got addicted to opioids in the first place. You’ll learn new ways to manage life challenges that contribute to your opioid use.

If it’s unresolved trauma, you’ll be equipped with tools to better process such trauma and avoid relapse. You’ll also learn skills like healthy communication, solving problems and managing stress and anger. These foster a sober lifestyle. Pairing counseling and meds this way has been proven to help patients achieve optimal wellness of the body, mind and spirit.

New Start Clinics prioritize personalized care approaches to deliver the best recovery outcomes. At your first visit to the clinic you’ll undergo thorough assessment. They’ll ask questions about your history with opioids and conduct medical and physical testing as relevant. Urinalysis and drug screening are conducted as well.

Based on this assessment, they’ll create a personalized care plan that will guide your recovery. Personalized care enables them to tailor prescription, dosage and frequency of counseling to your unique needs. This is important because everyone’s path to recovery and individual strength differs.
