Volunteer Comprehensive Treatment Center (CTC) in Chattanooga, Tennessee, provides high-quality outpatient care for adults age 18 and older who are struggling with addictions to heroin, prescription painkillers, and other opioids. Our CTC offers medication-assisted treatment (MAT), an evidence-based approach for helping people achieve and maintain recovery from opioid addictions. MAT uses prescription medication to help people withdraw from opioids and avoid relapse. At the same time, it also incorporates counseling, which can help participants make important lifestyle changes that promote lasting recovery. At our CTC, each patient can receive methadone, buprenorphine, or Suboxone as part of their individualized treatment plan. These medications can ease the discomfort of opioid withdrawal and help people end opioid use without the burden of overwhelming cravings and withdrawal symptoms. When patients experience better clarity of mind, they may also find it easier to engage in therapy. In MAT-provided counseling, you can safely explore the impacts of an opioid addiction on your life and learn skills that can sustain your recovery.
