Evergreen Treatment Services - Unit 2

They offer outpatient and telemedicine. Which one fits is usually decided by how much structure the first few weeks need, and Seattle has 8 other centers within 14 miles.

No. The nearest place that does offer one is in Seattle, under a mile away.

Seattle has 54 NA meetings too, and most people end up using both.

Outpatient only. Nobody stays overnight, so the week is built around appointments you travel to in Seattle.

They treat pregnant and postpartum clients. Ask whether prenatal care is on site or coordinated with somewhere else in Seattle.

Two programs that read identically online often differ sharply once you ask about staffing. A program that answers precisely about its clinicians and vaguely about its results is behaving well. Ask both places for the daily schedule and compare those rather than the brochures.

There is normally a family component, and it is one of the better questions to ask when comparing two places. What a center can tell a family member is limited by privacy law, and that limit holds even for a parent of an adult. Ask how often the family sessions meet and whether they happen in person.

Medication is one tool in a program, and for opioid use disorder it is the one with the strongest evidence behind it. Not every center is licensed for every medication, so what is on offer varies more than the clinical picture does. If a program rules medication out entirely, it is worth knowing that before you arrive.
