About Odyssey House Martindale Medical Clinic
If you’re looking for medical services focused on addiction recovery in Salt Lake City, Utah, you can go to the Odyssey House Martindale Medical Clinic. They help people in recovery from the age of 14 and up. They also offer harm reduction supplies to people who aren’t yet ready to quit.
Once you’re a patient there, they care for you as a whole person, including any health concerns. They manage medication for those on mental health and addiction withdrawal treatment such as methadone or Suboxone. You can also get Vivitrol injections from them. Vivitrol is known to be non-addictive and effective in reducing alcohol and opioid cravings.
Substance use is often closely linked to mental health challenges such as depression or anxiety. At times these conditions can be the reason you’re using. At other times they are a side effect of chemical dependence. Either way, Martindale can help you with counseling, medications, and support.
As a service to the community, they also provide harm reduction supplies. Understanding that abstinence isn’t always possible, they seek to lower the risk of overdosing. They also help prevent the spread of diseases by offering a syringe exchange program, where you can exchange used syringes for clean ones. They provide naloxone and Narcan for those who’ve overdosed on opioids. Other items offered are drug test strips, wound care kits and condoms.
I appreciate that they offer care coordination that links you with community resources and services. They know who can provide what you need for physical and mental health. They have links to resources to address any social and lifestyle needs you might have.
