Drug treatment clinic in Monroe aims to reach an underserved clientele
MONROE Josh Morrison meets five to 10 patients daily to help them recover from drug and alcohol addiction. He would like to help more 30 to 50 patients.
But not enough people know about Ideal Options new medication-assisted treatment clinic in Monroe, where Morrison is the onsite provider. The clinic at 101 East Main St. opened in November, three years after the company shuttered another clinic in Monroes industrial district due to the pandemic and the clinics inaccessible location.
The new downtown clinic is more convenient for Monroe residents, said April Provost, the outreach coordinator for Ideal Option. And its on a bus line to provide better access for those outside Monroe who may not have a treatment clinic nearby.
Ideal Option has more than 90 recovery clinics in nine states, including 27 in Washington. The clinics provide medication-assisted treatment for drug and alcohol addiction, primarily opioids.
