Watsontown Comprehensive Treatment Center (CTC) offers medication-assisted treatment (MAT) for adults age 18 and older who are struggling with opioid addictions. MAT combines prescription medication and counseling to deliver a whole-person approach to opioid addiction treatment. Recommended by respected organizations such as the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA), MAT can be an effective way to help people end opioid use and work toward lasting recovery. At Watsontown CTC, patients can receive methadone or Suboxone along with individual and group therapies. The medications we offer can relieve the challenging withdrawal symptoms and cravings that may occur when someone stops using opioids. With these physical benefits, patients can achieve better mental clarity and overall functioning, allowing them to engage in daily activities and treatment. The counseling component, which is an important part of MAT, helps support the emotional, social, and behavioral aspects of recovery. Additional benefits of MAT for patients can include better treatment retention and improved social functioning.
