About Fall River Comprehensive Treatment Center
Fall River Comprehensive Treatment Center (CTC) offers outpatient programming for adults age 18 and older who are seeking recovery from opioid addictions. Opioid addiction is a chronic disease, which means that people must learn how to effectively manage symptoms to remain in recovery. At our treatment center, we provide clinically excellent medication-assisted treatment (MAT) to help people learn the coping skills they need to achieve long-term success. Research shows that MAT drastically decreases the risk for relapse. MAT is an evidence-based, whole-person approach to treatment that addresses the mental and physical aspects of opioid addiction. Patients in our MAT program can benefit from taking methadone under the guidance of a professional. When taken as directed, methadone can help people safely complete the withdrawal process by alleviating painful physical symptoms and intense cravings that occur when a person stops using opioids.
