Located in the heart of beautiful Providence, Rhode Island, Providence Comprehensive Treatment Center (CTC) is a leading provider of outpatient opioid addiction treatment services in the Northeast. With programs for adults age 18 and older, our facility focuses on providing compassionate support and evidence-based treatment for people who are struggling with addictions to opioids.
 
At Providence CTC, patients can receive medication-assisted treatment (MAT), which is a type of opioid addiction treatment that combines therapy with the use of prescription medications. MAT is highly researched and backed by widely respected organizations like the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) and the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA). At the core of our medication-assisted treatment program are targeted medications that can help alleviate the symptoms of opioid withdrawal. These medications are prescribed by our team, and all patients are monitored closely to help ensure their safety and comfort. MAT can ease the physical effects of opioid withdrawal, giving patients the space to work through the behavioral and psychological components of addiction that may have brought them to treatment.
 
At Providence CTC, we offer a full range of medication options, including methadone, Suboxone, buprenorphine, and naltrexone. The specific medication that a person is prescribed is based on their unique needs, history of drug use, and the state of their health. These medications can substantially reduce cravings, which can also help prevent future relapse. The therapeutic component of MAT can help patients address the underlying causes that may have led to the development of an addiction while also giving them an opportunity to identify personal triggers that may have been preventing them from ending their opioid use.
 
At Providence CTC, we also offer both individual therapy and group therapy. During individual therapy, patients meet with a qualified team member in a confidential, one-on-one setting. Here, they can discuss personal circumstances that may be contributing to their substance use and explore possible coping skills that they can use to prevent future relapse. In group therapy, patients meet with other patients in a setting that provides space to give and receive encouragement and support. Building a support network can be a crucial aspect of recovery, and the relationships formed in group therapy may work to help build that network. At Providence CTC, we are dedicated to helping our patients heal from the physical, mental, and social impacts of opioid addiction. Our team can guide you through the admissions process, support you as you receive treatment, and encourage you as you start walking on the road to recovery."
