Lewistown Comprehensive Treatment Center (CTC) is a premier outpatient addiction treatment center. Conveniently located in Lewistown, Pennsylvania, Lewistown CTC offers medication-assisted treatment (MAT) for adults age 18 and older who are struggling with addictions to prescription painkillers, heroin, and other opioids. MAT is a research-backed type of opioid addiction treatment that combines the use of FDA-approved prescription medications with counseling services. MAT is widely supported by professionals as being one of the most successful forms of opioid addiction treatment because it addresses both the physical and psychological aspects of addiction. The medications used in MAT help ease the symptoms of withdrawal and prevent cravings for future use, while individual and group counseling sessions help patients better understand addiction, learn coping strategies, and receive the encouragement they need to thrive on their recovery journey.
