About Portland Metro Treatment Center – Portland
Portland Metro Treatment Center, operated by New Season Treatment Center, is an opioid addiction recovery facility in Portland, Oregon. The staff helps clients heal from substance use disorder primarily through medication assisted treatment (MAT). The payment options accepted at Portland Metro Treatment Center are private insurance, Medicaid and Medicare.
While medication will assist with reducing your physical symptoms of withdrawal, it can’t heal substance use disorder alone. It’s necessary to receive counseling to get an understanding of why you have an addiction.
Your counselor will help you understand what triggers are associated with your substance use and how you can develop a long lasting plan for recovery. Your plan will involve learning about how to cope with stress so you don’t resort to using substances.
An example of a coping skill that your counselor might encourage you to do is taking up a healthy hobby, such as going on a bike ride. Portland has lots of nature areas where you can do some biking, including Forest Park and Springwater Corridor Trail.
The staff will allow you to take home your medication from the facility when you make enough progress in your treatment. You’ll have less frequent visits at the facility, allowing more time in your schedule to focus on your everyday life.
A few factors that will be considered to decide whether to provide clients with take home medication include consistent attendance, active participation in treatment and weighting the risk versus the benefit. The medications available at this facility are methadone, Suboxone and buprenorphine.
