Kelso Comprehensive Treatment Center in Kelso, Washington, United States

Kelso Comprehensive Treatment Center in Kelso, Washington, provides specialized outpatient opioid addiction treatment for adolescents and adults in Kelso and the surrounding Cowlitz County area, with care centered on medication assisted treatment and counseling to support recovery from opioid use disorder. The center provides MAT for adolescents ages 13 through 17 and adults age 18 and older, although the facility also separately describes its general outpatient program as serving adults age 18 and older of all genders. Medication options include methadone, buprenorphine, and buprenorphine with naloxone, commonly known as Suboxone, as well as extended release injectable medications such as Vivitrol, which contains naltrexone, and Brixadi, an extended release form of buprenorphine, when clinically appropriate. Medication selection is individualized according to each patient’s needs and medical history rather than using the same medication for everyone. Counseling is provided alongside medication treatment to address the behavioral and emotional components of opioid addiction and help patients establish a stronger foundation for ongoing recovery. The multidisciplinary treatment team includes licensed practical nurses, registered nurses, substance use disorder professionals, substance use disorder professional trainees, a medical director, and a physician assistant. Kelso Comprehensive Treatment Center also offers take home dosing when appropriate, same day walk in access for individuals who need treatment promptly, and appointment scheduling assistance available around the clock. Its intake process specifically asks about pregnancy, allowing pregnancy status to be considered when determining appropriate treatment services and medication needs. Services identified at the center include methadone maintenance, Suboxone maintenance, buprenorphine maintenance, counseling, and youth MAT services, with the overall program designed specifically for opioid addiction rather than as a general residential or detoxification facility.
