River's Shore Comprehensive Treatment Center

River's Shore Comprehensive Treatment Center (CTC) provides outpatient opioid addiction treatment to adults in the Milwaukee, Wisconsin, area. Our center serves adults age 18 and older of all genders who have been struggling with addictions to heroin, prescription pain pills, fentanyl, and other opioids.

Adults who receive care at our opioid addiction treatment center in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, follow personalized plans that include both medication and counseling. This approach to treatment, which is known as MAT, has been closely studied for decades and has proved to be extremely beneficial in helping adults end their opioid use and achieve successful long-term recovery.

Many years ago, methadone clinics that offered MAT were only permitted to provide methadone. In recent years, several additional medications have been authorized for use in approved MAT programs. Depending on their unique needs, patients at River's Shore CTC in Milwaukee may receive one of four medications to ease the symptoms of opioid withdrawal: methadone, buprenorphine, naltrexone, or Suboxone.

One of your first activities at our CTC in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, will be to complete a thorough evaluation so that we can develop the individualized plan that will best address your unique needs.

After you complete this evaluation, a member of our medical staff will meet with you to determine if methadone or another medication is right for you. Once you start taking the medication, this experienced professional will continue to monitor your progress to ensure that you’re receiving the dosage level that’s most beneficial to you.

But medication is just one part of treatment for opioid addiction at a methadone clinic. When you choose River's Shore CTC in Milwaukee, your team will take the time to get to know you so that they can fully customize the services you receive. At River's Shore CTC, you will be viewed as a unique and valuable individual who deserves superior care provided in a welcoming and respectful environment.

Methadone and other medications can play an essential role in your recovery. But medication cannot address the social, economic, behavioral, and emotional aspects of opioid addiction and recovery. To help you in those areas, our opioid addiction treatment center in Milwaukee offers both individual and group counseling.

Counseling can be a source of significant information and tremendous support. You can share your feelings and insights, learn from professionals, share support with other MAT patients, and develop the skills that will help you avoid relapse.

When you seek treatment at a methadone clinic, a CTC, or another approved MAT provider, it’s important to confirm that you will receive counseling as part of your care. At our center in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, we understand how opioid addiction can impact virtually all areas of your life, and we’re committed to providing the counseling and other support services that will help you achieve successful long-term recovery.
