About Tacoma-Pierce County Health Department
Tacoma-Pierce County Health Department operates a public health based Opioid Treatment Services program in Tacoma, Washington serving Pierce County residents.
Through patient centered medications for opioid use disorder and counseling, education, and referrals the program supports adults and special populations including pregnant and postpartum clients.
I found they are operating inside a county health department and bring medication assisted treatment, counseling, and harm reduction together under one roof to meet patients where they are.
Opioid Use Disorder Treatment and MOUD
The program's core focus is treating opioid use disorder with a full range of medications for opioid use disorder including methadone, buprenorphine/Suboxone, long-acting injectable buprenorphine, and injectable naltrexone (Vivitrol).
I noted this is not a detox program; the methadone track is designed for long term treatment based on each patient's needs.
Treatment combines medication with counseling and ongoing follow-up care, education, and referrals. Same day medication is a program goal, with openings available for new patients.
Harm Reduction and Accessible Care
Beyond medication the program integrates harm reduction by offering free naloxone kits with overdose response training and does not require an ID or documentation for pickup.
Walk-ins are welcomed and early morning dosing hours including Saturdays make care accessible for both new and existing patients.
Amenities
Private drug rehab provides a comfortable, secure environment that allows you to focus on doing the work to get your life back on track. Benefits include a higher staff-to-client ratio, increased one-on-one time with therapists and healthcare providers, private rooms for clients, and customized forms of therapy.
In order to maintain a sense of autonomy, many private rehab facilities offer clients the ability to choose their own private rooms. The privacy and personal space ensure that the recovery process is as comfortable as possible.
