Canton Comprehensive Treatment Center (CTC), located in Massillon, Ohio, is a leading provider of medication-assisted treatment (MAT) for adults age 18 and older who are struggling with opioid use disorder, which is the clinical term for opioid addiction. MAT is an evidence-based and effective approach for treating opioid addiction that has proved to help people maintain recovery. Many methadone clinics offer only one type of medication as part of MAT, but our clinic provides multiple options, including Suboxone, buprenorphine, and methadone. These medications can alleviate the cravings and withdrawal symptoms someone can experience when they suddenly stop opioid use. By minimizing the distress of opioid withdrawal, MAT allows people to focus on their recovery without distractions. While medication plays a critical role in MAT, treatment is most effective when it incorporates group and individual therapy. In counseling, people can explore the underlying factors that contribute to opioid use and learn healthy lifestyle changes to support long-term recovery.
