How Our Private Addiction Treatment Works

Schedule your first appointment online or call/text our office at 253-389-4881. Appointments are typically available within 48 hours. You will receive a confirmation with instructions for your secure telehealth visit — including how to access the platform and what to have ready.

We will ask you to complete a brief intake form before your visit so your physician can review your health history in advance.

Your first appointment is a private, secure video visit with our addiction medicine specialist physician. This visit typically lasts 45 to 60 minutes. Your physician will:

• Review your health history and current symptoms
• Discuss your substance use history, patterns, and goals
• Order any necessary labs or assessments
• Recommend a treatment plan, including medication if appropriate
• Answer your questions thoroughly and honestly

There is no pressure and no judgment. This is a clinical conversation between you and your physician.

If medication-assisted treatment is appropriate, your physician will prescribe through a Washington State pharmacy of your choice. You do not need to visit a clinic or a pharmacy in person — many pharmacies offer delivery.

• For alcohol use disorder: medications may include naltrexone or acamprosate
• For opioid use disorder: medication includes buprenorphine (Suboxone) with physician-guided at-home induction

You will have regular follow-up visits with your physician — typically every two to four weeks initially, with visits spacing out as you stabilize. Between visits, you can contact our team directly by phone or text.

Your physician will monitor your progress, adjust your medications as needed, and work with you through any challenges that arise — including relapse, which we treat as a clinical event, not a reason to end care.

You'll also have ongoing direct access to our physicians between visits. No waiting for days until someone responds.

When you are stable on treatment — typically meaning consistent medication adherence and no recent relapses — your physician will introduce the next phase of Bayani Health's program. This is a physician-prescribed component of your recovery plan that includes:

• Nutrition guidance — focused on plant-forward eating patterns shown to support brain health, mood regulation, and metabolic recovery
• Movement prescription — a personalized exercise plan calibrated to your current fitness level, health status, and recovery goals

Addiction disrupts the body as well as the brain. These physician-directed lifestyle interventions address the physical dimension of recovery in a way that medication alone cannot.

If you have more questions, please request an introductory call with our physician, who can answer your questions about treatment and learn more about the care we provide.
