THE PIERCE COUNTY ALLIANCE CENTER FOR PROMETA^® TREATMENT

NOW PROVIDING AN INNOVATIVE TREATMENT PROTOCOL FOR METHAMPHETAMINE AND COCAINE DEPENDENCE

This is a medical enhancement to the traditional 12-step treatment process that eliminates or greatly reduces a patient’s cravings for methamphetamine or cocaine.

Patients are therefore, far more amenable to treatment, have a much better chance of recovery, and the risk of relapse is greatly reduced.

Based on a 2006 pilot program, which delivered exceptionally positive treatment outcomes, the Pierce County Alliance is now offering the PROMETA protocol to patients throughout Washington State for the treatment of methamphetamine and cocaine dependence.

* Clinical studies are underway to evaluate PROMETA and to confirm reports from physicians using PROMETA in their practices. Only a PROMETA treating physician can determine if PROMETA is appropriate for any individual patient. The medications used in the PROMETA treatment protocols are Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved for uses other than treating dependence on alcohol, cocaine or methamphetamine. Therefore, the risks and benefits of using those medications to treat dependence on those substances have not been evaluated by the FDA. Hythiam does not manufacture, distribute, or sell any medications and has no relationship with any manufacturers or distributors of medications used in the Prometa protocols.
