Albany Comprehensive Treatment Center (CTC) in Albany, Oregon, offers outpatient medication-assisted treatment (MAT) for adults age 18 and older who are struggling with addictions to opioids. MAT combines the use of prescription medications and counseling to help people end their opioid use. At our treatment center, patients can receive a prescription for methadone, buprenorphine, or Suboxone. These medications have proved to ease the symptoms of withdrawal, which can help prevent cravings that often lead people to use opioids again. Research shows that MAT is safe and effective in the treatment of opioid addiction when provided by experienced professionals at an approved treatment center. Unlike some methadone clinics, Albany CTC also provides individual and group therapy, which gives patients an opportunity to address any circumstances that may have contributed to their opioid use. Counseling can also help them develop the skills necessary to achieve and maintain sobriety.
