They help the underserved members of the community by making quality and accessible treatment available.

This facility is part of the Oregon Recovery & Treatment Center. Spokane is a major urban city in Washington. This facility is located right at the center of this city. You can look out for Audubon Park when visiting. It’s about a 15-minute drive from the facility if you’re into outdoor recreation. The historic Riverfront Park is 5 miles away.
Medication assisted treatment uses meds approved by the FDA alongside counseling to facilitate “whole person” healing. They may prescribe Methadone, Suboxone or Subutex depending on your unique needs. The meds help curb physiological cravings, normalize your brain chemistry and reduce withdrawal symptoms. This is backed up with counseling to help you address the emotional issues fueling your opioid use. Emphasis is on building strong coping skills and preventing relapse.
One unique thing about this facility is that they offers polysubstance abuse counseling. Polysubstance use involves using at least three addictive substances over 12 months. You might use multiple substances in a short time to boost the effects of one drug and get a stronger high. The effect of this can be more disruptive than when you use single substances.
While they treat you specifically for opioid use, you’ll receive polysubstance counseling if you abuse multiple substances. This counseling helps you understand how different substances interact, manage combined withdrawal and avoid triggers for using again. They also offer specialized relapse prevention programs to encourage you to stay in treatment and build coping skills.
Assessment is a core component of the recovery program here. Their assessment services encompass physical exams, lab work and drug testing. A physical exam helps the team check your overall health and spot any issues linked to “using.” This allows them to create a treatment plan tailored to your needs.
Lab work and drug testing are ongoing processes. The lab work includes routine tests for syphilis, TB, pregnancy and ECG. They can refer you to local community health centers to receive medical treatment for any medical condition. Drug testing is randomly conducted to monitor treatment progress. It usually involves checking urine or using a breathalyzer for substances.
The facility also offers prescriptions and education for Naloxone. Naloxone is a med used to prevent an opioid overdose.
