About The Coleman Institute – Bothell
The Coleman Institute’s now-closed center in Bothell, Washington was a detox center that offered accredited care to adults aged 18 and older. Until July 2024, you’d have found this center just 30 minutes north of Seattle. This was just one of Coleman’s many locations across the U.S.
The Coleman Institute prides itself on its unique detox method. Unlike many other detox centers and methods, here and at Coleman’s other locations, anesthesia was not used on their clients.
Instead, their primary treatment methods involved the use of FDA-approved medications to help individuals manage their uncomfortable withdrawal symptoms and cravings. To encourage a more sustainable and long-term recovery, their unique naltrexone therapy program is used alongside supportive case management to help clients after the withdrawal management phase. This type of treatment is known as medication-assisted treatment or MAT.
Naltrexone is a non-addictive opioid blocker favored by this facility as it has fewer complications than the better-known methadone and buprenorphine. In fact, this and other Coleman locations also offer detox programs for these well-known detoxing medications.
In terms of how long the detox process used to last, clients could expect it to take around three days. Offering a shorter process than many other detox centers, this was ideal for clients who didn’t want to or couldn’t afford to put their lives on hold for too long while they were in recovery.
They also offered flexible scheduling and appointments, and an overall less expensive treatment relative to other centers. Comfort medications were also provided, tailored to the severity of clients’ withdrawal symptoms.
Individual and group therapy options were also provided as well as targeted services to support specific veteran populations, such as homeless veterans. They also offered transitional support and care management for returning veterans.
