Laurinburg Comprehensive Treatment Center

At Laurinburg Comprehensive Treatment Center (CTC), located in Laurinburg, North Carolina, we understand how an opioid addiction can affect every aspect of your life. Struggling with an addiction to heroin, prescription painkillers, or other opioids can lead to job loss, cause strain in your relationships, and negatively impact your overall well-being. However, with the right treatment, it is possible to live a life free of opioids. 

Our CTC provides medication-assisted treatment (MAT) for adults age 18 and older who are battling an opioid addiction. MAT combines the use of FDA-approved medications with talk therapy. This integrated treatment method has proved to help ease patients’ withdrawal symptoms, reduce their cravings, and improve their mental well-being. 

Our dedicated team gets to know each patient so that we can learn about their current symptoms and determine how we can best meet their recovery needs. Each patient gets a personalized treatment plan that includes the appropriate prescription medication, dosage, and therapy schedule that can help them heal physically and emotionally. Throughout treatment, patients receive ongoing support and progress evaluations to ensure that our team is providing them with the best care possible.  

At Laurinburg CTC, we are committed to offering effective opioid addiction treatment that can help people regain control of their lives and build healthier, more stable futures. 

Medication-assisted treatment is considered one of the most effective treatment methods for opioid use disorder. Studies show that people who receive MAT have lower relapse rates and a reduced risk for opioid overdose. 

When a person’s body becomes dependent on opioids, it relies on the substance to be able to function. If they suddenly stop using the substance, they can experience overwhelming withdrawal symptoms, such as anxiety, agitation, muscle aches, nausea, and insomnia. These symptoms, along with intense cravings, often lead people back to opioid use. In a MAT program, the use of prescription medications like methadone, buprenorphine, and Suboxone® can help alleviate withdrawal symptoms and cravings.  

MAT also includes therapy sessions, where patients can address the emotional and behavioral aspects of addiction with support from an experienced professional. In therapy sessions, patients can also get the skills and confidence they need to achieve lasting recovery from opioid addictions. 

Beyond its benefits for individuals, MAT programs can have positive effects on the community. One of the main community benefits is a reduction in criminal activity. As people who receive treatment begin to heal and gain stability, they are less likely to commit drug-related crimes, leading to safer communities. 

Furthermore, the costs associated with crimes, including law enforcement efforts, court proceedings, and incarceration, decline when opioid use decreases. By providing medication-assisted treatment, communities can reduce these expenses while they improve public safety and health.  

Having an accessible MAT program can also decrease the overall healthcare costs within a community. When people who are struggling with opioid addictions receive proper treatment, they are less likely to rely on emergency rooms or require extended hospital stays due to overdose or related health concerns. This can ease the financial burden on hospitals, insurers, and taxpayers. Investing in MAT programs not only supports individual recovery but can foster healthier, more stable communities. 

Our team strives to treat every patient with kindness, respect, and dignity, providing encouragement as they take this important step toward recovery. 

We are committed to making the admissions process at Laurinburg CTC as smooth as possible so that people can get the care they need. Our compassionate team guides each patient through an assessment before they begin treatment. The assessment may include questions about the patient’s medical history, their substance use, and any treatment they may have received in the past. We use the results of the assessment to create the patient’s tailored treatment plan. Patients are also required to have bloodwork and a tuberculosis test done.  

Patients who receive MAT at our opioid addiction treatment center participate in individual and group therapy sessions. In individual therapy, patients meet one-on-one with an experienced counselor in a confidential setting. These sessions provide a dedicated time for patients to discuss the impact opioid addiction has had on various aspects of their lives, including their relationships, health, and careers. Patients can also learn healthier coping strategies and relapse prevention skills and explore ways to rebuild their lives. 

In group therapy, patients have the opportunity to connect with others who may be experiencing similar struggles. Group therapy sessions are led by qualified professionals and may cover topics such as learning to set healthy boundaries, recognizing triggers, and the effects of trauma. Addiction can feel isolating, but the connections formed in group therapy can give patients a sense of belonging. Patients can support each other during group therapy, fostering a sense of community that can be important for maintaining long-term recovery.  

The group setting can help patients develop essential skills that contribute to their overall well-being, such as: 

• Self-actualization: Gaining self-acceptance, recognizing personal strengths and limitations, and using that awareness to grow and reach one’s full potential 

• Psychological flexibility: Adapting to change and navigating uncertainty without becoming overwhelmed or resorting to destructive behaviors 

• Resilience: Overcoming adversity with determination and optimism, understanding that setbacks are a natural part of the recovery journey 

• Interpersonal effectiveness: Building meaningful connections with others while maintaining self-respect and healthy boundaries 

• Emotional balance: Managing emotions in a healthy way, acknowledging their presence without allowing them to take control 

Each patient also receives a detailed discharge plan and referrals to community resources, which can help them feel confident and supported as their time in our care comes to an end.  

The outpatient MAT program at Laurinburg CTC is a flexible treatment option for people who need care that fits their schedule. Our MAT program allows patients to receive opioid addiction treatment while they continue to manage their daily responsibilities. 

Unlike patients in inpatient programs who may require round-the-clock monitoring, patients in our outpatient MAT program can attend scheduled appointments without putting their lives on hold. This makes outpatient medication-assisted treatment a practical option for people who are not able to step away from their personal or professional obligations. Additionally, patients have the opportunity to apply skills and strategies they learn in therapy to real-life situations. 

By offering patient-centered care in our outpatient MAT program, we can provide you with excellent opioid addiction treatment at a time that works with your schedule.
