Opioid addiction has affected a staggering number of Americans, and for so many, it has had devastating consequences. But getting the right treatment can be life-changing. At Christiansburg Comprehensive Treatment Center (CTC), we offer outpatient treatment for adults who are struggling with an opioid addiction. We specialize in medication-assisted treatment (MAT), a research-backed approach that uses both medication and counseling. The medications used in MAT address the physical aspects of opioid addiction by easing distressing cravings and lessening painful withdrawal symptoms, allowing participants to function better in their daily lives. This includes the time they spend in counseling, which addresses the emotional, behavioral, and social aspects of addiction. During therapy sessions, participants can make important behavior and lifestyle changes that can lead to lasting recovery. Medication and counseling can be a powerful combination, and many people who take part in MAT remain in treatment longer and learn to resist future relapse. By receiving MAT at our center, many people discover that there is hope for a better tomorrow.
