Comprehensive Treatment Centers (CTCs) provide opioid use disorder treatment for adults age 18 and older of all genders. CTCs offer detoxification from substances such as heroin, prescription painkillers, and other opioids, as well as alcohol. Treatment at a CTC is in the form of outpatient therapy, allowing patients to receive substance use disorder care that is convenient to them without much disruption to their lives. Unlike traditional outpatient treatment centers, CTCs use medication-assisted treatment (MAT) to help ease the discomfort of withdrawal symptoms that come from detoxification. MAT can involve medication such as methadone or buprenorphine under the guidance of a healthcare professional. Along with detoxification, CTCs offer individual and group therapy sessions. Combining the appropriate medication and counseling for each individual allows for comprehensive care that can lead to long-term recovery. Each patient has their own treatment team to ensure that they receive personalized care that is unique to them.
