Elkton Comprehensive Treatment Center (CTC) delivers medication-assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals aged 18 and older facing dependencies on heroin, fentanyl, prescription pain relievers, and other opioids. In contrast to some methadone centers that merely provide medication to halt opioid use, our CTC supplies methadone combined with therapeutic services to support ongoing recovery. Methadone, a prescription medication endorsed by the FDA, assists in easing the distressing withdrawal symptoms associated with quitting opioids. The therapeutic element of MAT enables patients to tackle the emotional components of their healing process. By integrating medication and therapy within MAT, individuals can boost their overall well-being, minimize the risk of relapse, and secure enduring recovery from opioid dependencies. We offer MAT as a convenient outpatient program, allowing people to receive care while maintaining their normal schedules.
