Kelso Comprehensive Treatment Center (CTC), located in Kelso, Washington, provides medication-assisted treatment (MAT) for adults age 18 and older who are struggling with opioid addictions. Many people may desire to be free of opioid use, but painful withdrawal symptoms and powerful cravings make it difficult to maintain long-term recovery. MAT is an evidence-based approach to treating opioid use disorder that involves combining therapy with prescription medications to treat the physical and emotional symptoms of addiction. This comprehensive method of opioid addiction treatment has been shown to help people remain in recovery and live more fulfilling lives. Some methadone clinics only offer one kind of medication, but our CTC offers Suboxone and buprenorphine in addition to methadone. The medications used in MAT can significantly reduce the risk for relapse and can help people avoid the negative consequences of opioid use. Therapy is a critical component of MAT and is essential for lasting recovery. Individual and group therapy sessions can help someone identify why they turned to opioids in the first place and learn coping skills to prevent future relapse.
