About Harrisburg Comprehensive Treatment Center in Harrisburg, PA

Located in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, Harrisburg Comprehensive Treatment Center (CTC) provides opioid addiction treatment services to adults age 18 and older of all genders. We utilize medication-assisted treatment (MAT), which combines the use of medications and counseling to help patients successfully achieve recovery from opioid addiction.

Although methadone clinics typically have the reputation of merely dispensing medications, our clinic in Harrisburg offers more than this. MAT is a comprehensive approach that addresses the whole person. Research shows that MAT is a highly effective way to address opioid addiction. It helps to reduce opioid use and relapse rates over the long term. It also reduces the risk of contracting infectious diseases. The National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA) and the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) both support MAT as a first-line treatment method for addressing opioid addiction.

Therapies Used at Our Harrisburg Methadone Clinic

At our clinic, we offer the option of using methadone or Suboxone. Both have been approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for use in the treatment of opioid addiction and are widely used in methadone clinics. Medications help to ease the withdrawal process, eliminating physical cravings. They also aid the body in healing from physical harm caused by opioid use.

We also offer the option of individual and group counseling with qualified professionals. This can help address the emotional, behavioral, and social aspects of addiction. In sessions, you can develop coping skills to use to avoid relapse and manage stress and investigate past experiences that may have led to opioid addiction. You can also figure out ways to restore relationships with people who may have been harmed and work toward your personal vision of wellness.
