About MDC The Center for Substance Abuse Recovery
MDC The Center for Substance Abuse Recovery provides inpatient medically supervised withdrawal management or detox and outpatient treatment for co-occurring disorders. They’re a community focused social services and behavioral health provider in Tacoma, Washington. Their integrated social services help the socially disadvantaged break free from survival mode, find stability and create a path forward. This includes rapid housing for the homeless, temporary housing assistance and sober living/permanent housing for those struggling with substance misuse and mental health conditions.
Their inpatient detox unit is designed to enhance safety and comfort. The facility is open 24 hours a day, and onsite nurses and technicians are available to serve walk-ins. Medical detox involves an initial medical assessment followed by a carefully managed withdrawal procedure with 24/7 monitoring by trained experts. They offer meals, medications and substance abuse counseling as part of their detox program. The counseling includes both group counseling and individual sessions with a peer recovery coach. 12 Step meetings like AA and NA are also available to help strengthen your recovery and build a supportive community. Discharge planning may involve connections to essential resources for ongoing support and recovery. This may include options such as supportive employment, housing referrals and education.
Additionally they may refer you to community providers to access medication assisted treatment or transfer you to their outpatient services if you’re dealing with co-occurring conditions. Their treatment for dual diagnosis disorders aims to return clients to their daily routines as quickly as possible. They offer both traditional and intensive outpatient treatment. The latter is relatively structured and involves more intense therapy. You may participate in up to nine hours of group sessions weekly for eight weeks. The general outpatient program may require just 90 minutes of therapy weekly. Services primarily include individual counseling and various group therapies like mindful based relapse prevention as well as seeking safety groups.
The program also involves medication management, illness education and skill building. These are all geared toward building a solid coping mechanism that promotes relapse prevention and lasting sobriety. This program provides screening and referral to the MDC-supported employment initiative, which helps candidates help you find and maintain stable employment as part of their recovery process. Through their case management services you can also get assistance with housing, education and financial benefits.
