Substance Use Treatment

Last edited 61 days ago by Garrett Leonard

MOUD/Medicine Assisted Treatment

Suboxone / Buprenorphine

Suboxone (also called “bupe”) is by far the most effective treatment for heroin and opioid use. Suboxone works by tightly binding to the same receptors in the brain as other opiates, such as heroin, morphine, and oxycodone. By doing so, it blunts intoxication with these other drugs, it prevents cravings, and it allows many people to transition back from a life of addiction to a life of normalcy and safety.

Contact the Capital Recovery Center’s Olympia Bupe Clinic for a same-day prescription. ID and insurance not required. Peer support available if requested. New participants should expect the first appointment to last 1 to 2 hours.

Methadone

Methadone can be used as a safer replacement for opioid use and can serve as a part of a recovery plan that includes counseling and other behavioral health therapies to provide patients with a whole-person approach.

Contact Evergreen Treatment’s South Sound Clinic for a prescription. This is a highly regimented program that involves daily visits for dosing, as well as medical care, counseling, and recovery classes.

Naltrexone

Naltrexone is by far the most effective treatment for alcohol use disorder. It works by blocking the effects of alcohol, preventing a person from getting drunk if they drink. It can also significantly reduce cravings. Naltrexone is not a narcotic. It will not produce any narcotic-like effects or cause mental or physical dependence. It can be used (and is often marketed) to treat opioid use disorder, but this is not recommended when Suboxone is available.

While naltrexone may have some side effects, it is generally a low risk medication and can be prescribed by any primary care physician. See the

Medical Care Providers⁠

section of the Medical & Coverage page to find a provider to prescribe naltrexone.

The Thurston County Syringe Services Program (SSP) provides a way for people who inject drugs (PWID) who continue to inject to safely dispose of used syringes and to obtain sterile syringes at no cost.

Narcan (Naloxone)

Naloxone is a medicine that rapidly reverses an opioid overdose. It is an opioid antagonist. This means that it attaches to opioid receptors and reverses and blocks the effects of other opioids. Naloxone can quickly restore normal breathing to a person if their breathing has slowed or stopped because of an opioid overdose. But, naloxone has no effect on someone who does not have opioids in their system, and it is not a treatment for opioid use disorder. Examples of opioids include heroin, fentanyl, oxycodone (OxyContin®), hydrocodone (Vicodin®), codeine, and morphine. Naloxone kits generally come in one of two forms, injection (intramuscular) or nasal spray.

Naloxone kits are available at no cost at the

Thurston County Syringe Services Program⁠

(Needle Exchange).

Fentanyl Test Kits

[We know these are available through Thurston County Public Health / Healthcare Authority - does needle exchange distribute?]

Treatment Programs

It is important to be cautious when choosing a treatment program. The substance use treatment industry is a large industry that makes a lot of money - and doesn’t always use effective or evidence-based treatment practices. Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT) and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) are the most effective forms of counseling for substance use disorder. Medicine assisted treatment (particularly Suboxone for opioid use and naltrexone for alcohol use), particularly when it is supplemented with DBT or CBT, is flatly the most effective treatment for substance use disorder. Be sure to request treatment programs that include medicine and DBT or CBT when exploring options with a chemical dependency counselor.
