Pierce County's treatment need

Pierce County has faced significant challenges with opioid overdose deaths — ranking among Washington State's most affected counties for drug-related mortality in recent years. At the same time, Pierce County has a large commercially insured population through military families at Joint Base Lewis-McChord, healthcare workers, and working professionals throughout Tacoma and surrounding communities.

The treatment infrastructure has not kept pace with the need, particularly for commercially insured patients seeking evidence-based medication treatment without a clinic-based program model. Long wait times, limited providers, and geographic barriers across the county leave many patients without timely access to care.

Rezolv Health Tacoma addresses this gap directly — offering telehealth medication management for both addiction and mental health to Pierce County residents with commercial insurance, with appointments available within days rather than months.

University Place — in-person option for Tacoma patients

Rezolv Health's physical University Place location is within Pierce County, approximately 15 minutes from downtown Tacoma. Patients who prefer an occasional in-person visit — for an initial evaluation, for injectable medication like Vivitrol, or simply because they prefer face-to-face care — can be seen in person at University Place. Most ongoing follow-up visits can be conducted by telehealth, though occasionally an in-person visit may be required in the Tacoma area.

Frequently asked questions

Does Rezolv Health serve patients in Puyallup, Lakewood, and other Pierce County communities? Yes. Telehealth serves all of Pierce County — Puyallup, Lakewood, Gig Harbor, Bonney Lake, Sumner, Eatonville, and everywhere in between. Our University Place physical location also serves patients from across the county who prefer in-person visits.

What insurance does Rezolv Health accept in Tacoma? Commercial insurance (employer plans and private marketplace plans) and Washington Apple Health (Medicaid). We do not currently accept Medicare in Washington State. Military families with Tricare should verify their coverage before scheduling.

Is Rezolv Health appropriate for military families at JBLM? We serve all Washington State residents with commercial insurance, including military family members who are covered under commercial plans rather than Tricare. Active duty personnel and those covered exclusively under Tricare should verify whether we are a covered provider before scheduling.

Do you treat Kratom addiction in Tacoma? Yes. Rezolv Health Washington offers physician-supervised Kratom addiction treatment for Tacoma and Pierce County patients. Kratom dependence produces real physical withdrawal that can be difficult to manage without medical support. We provide withdrawal management and a structured cessation plan.

How is telehealth better than driving to a clinic? For most patients, the primary advantage is time. No commute, no parking, no waiting room, no time off work. A 20-minute monthly telehealth appointment fits into a lunch break. A clinic visit does not.

Can I start with an in-person visit and then switch to telehealth? Yes. Many Tacoma-area patients start with an in-person evaluation at our University Place location and then continue all follow-up visits by telehealth. This is a common pattern and is fully supported.
