Tacoma Pierce County Health Department

The medication-assisted treatment program is for individuals struggling with opioid use disorder. Clients receive regular dosing of medications that help mitigate withdrawal symptoms and reduce cravings. This allows clients to safely and effectively detox from addictive substances. This program also offers a mental health component that allows individuals to meet regularly with a mental health provider. Together, the client and therapist work through the underlying issues associated with the client’s addictive tendencies.

The outpatient program provides mental health services, connection to community resources, referral services, dual diagnosis treatment, educational classes, and access to evidence-based treatment interventions. If it is determined that a client needs a higher level of care, he or she may be referred to a treatment center that can offer inpatient or residential services.
