Our program entails 4 sessions of individual therapy per week, group therapy, family therapy, psychiatric assessments, medication management, recreational therapy, nutrition, and academic support.
At Paradigm Treatment we recognize the unique challenges faced by young adults (18-26) during the transition from adolescence to adulthood and are committed to creating a safe environment catering to those needs. This pivotal time involves tremendous transformation as teens leave behind the security and dependency of their younger selves to embrace the greater responsibilities and freedoms of adulthood in an ever-chaotic world. The Paradigm Young Adult program focuses on addressing mental health issues during this crucial developmental phase. We help clients build self-awareness, heal from past traumas, learn coping strategies, life skills, and interpersonal tactics. Our skilled medical, clinical, and psychological staff work closely with each client, ensuring personalized support from the moment they enter our program. At Paradigm, we empower young adults to build meaningful lives and equip them with skills to thrive beyond the completion of our program. Due to a lack of quality mental health resources throughout the country, it's common for us to treat clients from all over the Pacific Northwest at our San Rafael location.

Depression symptoms are traditionally treated with psychotherapy and antidepressant medications, and these treatments are considered the first-line treatments. While medication has a positive effect for many, they do not work for all and even when medication are effective, there can still be some serious side effects to consider. Recent research into Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) has created a new alternative treatment for depression. TMS activates and raises the levels of neurotransmitters in areas shown to be under-performing in people suffering from depression. Eastside TMS and Wellness Center provides an alternative treatment of major depression using the revolutionary FDA approved treatment, Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation. We provide individually-tailored, evidence-based treatment for major depression, and are staffed with an experienced team of experts in the field of Brain Stimulation therapies. Our trained staff is dedicated to working directly with patients to provide the safest and most cutting-edge treatment of TMS therapy. www.eastsidetmswellness.com

Spravato is a nasal spray prescribed for treatment-resistant depression. Unlike oral antidepressants, which can take several weeks to months to work, the effects of Spravato are typically felt within days, unlocking a pathway to healing for patients who have not responded to oral antidepressants and/or other augmentative therapies alone. Spravato is the first new drug approved for depression by the Federal Drug Administration (FDA) in decades. Spravato is specially designed for those suffering from Treatment Resistant Depression (TRD). Spravato (esketamine) is indicated in combination with an oral antidepressant for adults suffering from treatment-resistant depression. If you have not responded to 2 or more antidepressants or other alternative treatments (such as psychotherapy, TMS, ECT, etc.), Spravato could be right for you!

Located in Aberdeen, Washington, Grays Harbor Comprehensive Treatment Center (CTC) is a premier provider of outpatient opioid addiction treatment for adults age 18 and older. For people who value a personalized approach to treating opioid addiction, medication-assisted treatment (MAT) may be the most beneficial option. MAT combines counseling and the use of prescription medications that can help ease the symptoms of opioid withdrawal. When MAT was first offered in the United States, methadone clinics were limited to prescribing one type of medication to help patients stop opioid use without experiencing painful symptoms. Today, approved MAT providers like Grays Harbor CTC can offer multiple medication options. At our opioid addiction treatment center, we can prescribe methadone, buprenorphine, or Suboxone based on a person’s needs and medical history. All medications used as part of MAT are FDA-approved. In addition to medication, MAT incorporates counseling sessions that can address the emotional and psychological aspects of addiction.

What are the most effective ways to manage medications?
One of the most effective ways a patient can manage their medications is to keep a list of each drug and dosage they take. Such a list can be helpful in keeping to their schedule and can also be something they bring to their psychiatrist or other physician so that the healthcare provider has a clear picture of what they’re taking and in what quantity. Using a pill organizer can be useful for memory and organization. Patients should discuss their medications and their effects at every appointment.
What are the risks if medications are not managed properly?
A suboptimal approach to medication management can lead to potentially harmful health outcomes. Most psychiatric drugs have side effects, and if a patient is not aware of them, they may seek additional medical help or over the counter or prescription drugs to treat the side effects, which may have its own side effects, a process called “prescription cascade.” Another risk to disorganization is that a psychiatrist without full knowledge of a patient’s regimen could prescribe a medication that should not be mixed with a patient’s existing drugs.
What’s the best way to encourage someone to get help managing their medications?
It’s helpful to express concern and love for the person while framing medication management as a tool for improving their life and avoiding dangerous side effects. Offering specific examples of an individual’s failure to properly manage their medication regimen should be done with compassion and with empathy. It may be useful to break management down into parts, and there are several apps that can be used to organize which drugs are ingested, when they need to be refilled, and how they should be stored.
Are there natural treatments that can replace medications?
While there are many medications that can be vital to mental health, there are some natural lifestyle changes that can help reduce the need for drugs. Regular exercise, good sleep habits, a healthy diet, and therapy can all go a long way in symptom relief. Psychiatric medications typically treat symptoms but do not necessarily treat the cause of the condition. Many clinicians consider medications an adjunct to treatment rather than a treatment in and of itself.
