Addiction Treatment

Evergreen Treatment Services offers outpatient treatment for opioid dependence. The clinic uses a comprehensive approach to therapy which combines medically managed pharmacotherapy (methadone) with counseling,  contingency management, mental health care, acupuncture, and case management services.  

ETS adheres to the evidence-based model of addiction treatment.  Methadone dose levels are  based on individual need rather than arbitrary, predetermined limits. Psychosocial services  employ therapeutic techniques that have been validated in clinical research.

Clinical attention is devoted to changing drug using behaviors and to  assisting patients in embarking on stable, self-sustaining recoveries.  Psychiatric services, under the direction of Paul Grekin, MD, are available for patients suffering from co-existing mental health disorders.

Treatment is available at two fixed-site clinics and one mobile clinic site in the greater Seattle area, and at a fixed-site clinic in Olympia. 

Treatment Works
Monthly testing typically finds that approximately 65% of all ETS opioid treatment patients' urine samples show no evidence of illicit drug use.  

 

NIH Review:  Effective Medical Treatment of Opiate Addiction
In 1997 the National Institutes of Health issued an expert consensus statement on the treatment of opioid addiction. The panel concluded that methadone maintenance combined with psychosocial services is an effective treatment for the medical disorder of opioid dependence.
