Recovering from an addiction to opioids can be extremely difficult and often requires intensive treatment. At Waterville Comprehensive Treatment Center (CTC), located in Waterville, Maine, we offer outpatient medication-assisted treatment (MAT) for adults who are struggling with opioid addictions. Combining the use of medications and counseling, MAT provides people with the services they need as they take the first step toward ending their drug use. There are some methadone clinics that only prescribe one medication, but our CTC is able to prescribe both methadone and Suboxone. These medications help ease the uncomfortable symptoms of withdrawal, making the transition to treatment more manageable. The therapeutic components of MAT give patients the added benefit of having time to process their experiences, learn more about the disease of addiction, and develop coping skills that can aid them in controlling their addictive behaviors.
