Ft. Lauderdale Comprehensive Treatment Center

Located just a short drive from Fort Lauderdale in Tamarac, Florida, Ft. Lauderdale Comprehensive Treatment Center (CTC) is a premier provider of outpatient treatment for adults age 18 and older who are struggling with addictions to opioids. Our center specializes in medication-assisted treatment (MAT), a research-backed method that uses both medication and counseling to promote recovery. 

While traditional methadone clinics typically offer only one medication, we use several FDA-approved medications to support our patients’ diverse needs. Depending on what is best for a patient, they may be prescribed methadone, buprenorphine, or Suboxone. While each of these medications works a bit differently, they all support our patients’ recovery by easing the distressing symptoms and intense cravings that typically come with opioid withdrawal. 

Because everyone’s response to these medications varies, the highly experienced team at our center in Tamarac, Florida, thoroughly assesses each person’s needs to determine the appropriate medication and dosage for them. We monitor their progress every step of the way and make any necessary adjustments to ensure that they remain on track to meet their therapeutic goals. 

Although taking medication as part of a MAT program can be a powerful tool in someone’s recovery toolkit, it only addresses the physical aspects of opioid addiction. Offering counseling in addition to medication sets us apart from traditional methadone clinics because it allows us to provide a whole-person approach to opioid addiction treatment.  

Patients who receive treatment at our Tamarac, Florida, center usually take part in group and individual counseling. Group counseling offers our patients a chance to connect with others who share their experiences with opioid addiction. During group discussions, patients also have the chance to hear diverse perspectives and exchange support with others. 

Many find that one-on-one counseling sessions provide a safe space to talk about topics they may not feel comfortable discussing in a group environment. These sessions also offer opportunities for patients to dig deeper into their personal goals and discuss their progress toward meeting them. 

Harmful myths about methadone clinics often keep people from getting the treatment they need, so we know how much courage it can take for someone to reach out for help when they’re suffering from opioid addiction. From the moment our patients walk through the doors of our center in Tamarac, Florida, our expert team strives to help them feel safe and welcome. 

We also understand that opioid addiction affects everyone differently, so each of our patients can expect to receive individualized treatment that focuses specifically on what they need to achieve sobriety. Every patient who seeks care with us takes part in a comprehensive assessment, which allows us to gain a detailed understanding of how to best support them through recovery. 

With long-term success in mind, each patient also receives a personalized aftercare plan that includes referrals for ongoing care and any recommendations for appropriate community resources. Our goal is to help each of our patients break free from the bounds of opioid addiction and live the life they deserve.
