Lakewood Comprehensive Treatment Center

Lakewood Comprehensive Treatment Center provides personalized outpatient treatment for adults in the Lakewood, Washington, area who have been struggling with opioid addiction. Our center provides medication-assisted treatment (MAT). This evidence-based service includes the closely supervised use of certain prescription medications along with counseling to help adults achieve long-term recovery from opioid addiction.

When MAT first began to be used in methadone clinics in the U.S., methadone was the only medication patients could receive. Today, MAT providers such as Lakewood Comprehensive Treatment Center are authorized to offer several medication options. Patients who receive care at our center in Lakewood, Washington, may receive methadone, buprenorphine, or Suboxone®.

Considerable research has documented that all three of these medications are safe and effective for both short- and long-term use when taken as directed within the context of an approved medication-assisted treatment program. A member of our medical staff works closely with each patient to assess their needs, answer their questions, and determine whether methadone or another medication is best for them.

Medications are often the first thing prospective patients think of when they begin to consider getting help for opioid addiction at a methadone clinic. But when a patient chooses our outpatient opioid addiction treatment center in Lakewood, Washington, they discover a wealth of additional support to help them address the emotional, behavioral, and social aspects of opioid addiction and recovery.

For example, patients at our center can take part in both individual and group counseling sessions. Individual sessions, which are one-on-one conversations with a trained professional in a confidential environment, may be ideal places to discuss matters that the patient may not yet be ready to bring up in a group setting. Group sessions are supportive environments where patients can gain valuable information, develop relapse prevention skills, and share support with others who are also receiving treatment at our center in Lakewood, Washington.

Every person who struggles with opioid addiction is impacted in a different way, and everyone who is working on their recovery is walking a unique path. At Lakewood Comprehensive Treatment Center in Lakewood, Washington, we understand how important it is to provide the individualized care that will best prepare each patient for sustained success in their efforts to achieve recovery from opioid addiction.

Many people who turn to methadone clinics for help with opioid addiction are struggling with feelings of shame, guilt, fear, and isolation. When a person chooses to start their recovery journey at our center in Lakewood, Washington, they discover a welcoming and respectful environment where they can receive superior services without fear of being shamed or judged.
