Evergreen Treatment Services - Unit 3

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.

They do not offer one. Sorting detox out comes first, and Seattle is the nearest place that does it, under a mile away.

They prescribe methadone, buprenorphine and naltrexone. Medication and counseling together is the standard of care for opioid use rather than an either or, and not every place near Seattle offers both.

Nobody stays overnight. Outpatient means you keep sleeping at home and come in for sessions, and the closest residential option is under a mile away in Seattle.

They treat adults from 26 to 64 and young adults from 18 to 25. Ask whether the groups are split by age, because in Seattle that can mean one mixed room rather than several.

They offer a pregnancy program. Call rather than wait, because this is the one case where timing changes the options and Seattle may not have a second place set up for it.

The questions that separate two programs are concrete ones about staffing, medication and what happens afterward. Whoever answers the phone is not always whoever operates the program, because referral services are common in this field. Ask whether the person on the phone works for the center or for a referral service.

A return to use is treated as information: something in the plan was not holding. What changed, who was around, and whether medication was part of the plan are the questions worth asking after a recurrence. Ask what the aftercare looks like, because its absence is a common gap.
