At Claymont Comprehensive Treatment Center (CTC), we offer medication-assisted treatment (MAT) for adults age 18 and older who are struggling with opioid addictions. Located in Claymont, Delaware, our treatment center provides MAT programming in a convenient outpatient format. MAT combines the use of prescription medication with talk therapy to provide a whole-person approach to achieving long-term recovery. At our clinic, we can prescribe methadone or buprenorphine for patients, and we offer individual counseling sessions to provide a comprehensive approach to care. Participating in MAT is associated with a wide range of patient benefits, including better employment outcomes, decreased illicit opioid use, and increased social functioning. MAT can also improve treatment retention, and the physical benefits of taking MAT medications can help people participate more effectively in counseling. Respected organizations like the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA) recommend MAT as an effective form of opioid addiction treatment, and methadone clinics and other rehab facilities have offered this intervention for years to help people rebuild healthy lives.
