Huntingdon Valley Comprehensive Treatment Center (CTC) is a leading provider of medication-assisted treatment (MAT) for opioid addiction. Opioids are a class of drugs that includes morphine, fentanyl, prescription painkillers, heroin, and others. We serve adults age 18 and older of all genders. Our outpatient addiction treatment center is located in Huntingdon Valley, Pennsylvania.
 
At Huntingdon Valley CTC, we develop an individualized treatment plan for each patient we serve. Personalized care promotes greater success in addiction treatment. It provides opportunities for patients to set their own goals because wellness looks different for different people. We are here to support each patient in reaching their goals and creating the new life they envision. MAT employs prescription medications to ease or eliminate the unwanted symptoms of withdrawal. Opioid withdrawal can be painful, even causing life-threatening symptoms. The Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA), the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), and other respected health organizations recommend MAT for the treatment of opioid addiction.
 
MAT is frequently recommended for individuals who are at high risk for relapse. Relapsing during withdrawal can lead to an accidental fatal overdose. Huntingdon Valley CTC offers both methadone and Suboxone to assist our patients. Though it has been well researched and found to be effective for many people, not everyone has a positive reaction to methadone. Providing Suboxone for our patients means that we can treat more people more effectively.
 
Medication is only one component of MAT. Counseling services that address emotional, social, and behavioral concerns are an equally important part. We offer both group therapy and individual therapy to give our patients support. In group therapy, patients learn that they are not alone in their struggles. Discussing challenges and successes with peers helps our patients deal with stress and learn how to resolve everyday problems on their own without the use of opioids. Group sessions are facilitated by qualified professionals who maintain a positive, supportive atmosphere. Patients are encouraged to use individual therapy as an opportunity to share personal struggles or talk about unresolved traumas.
 
Healing past wounds is an important part of addiction treatment and helps individuals see their behaviors in a new light. During individual sessions, counselors offer supportive feedback and help patients learn the new skills they need to thrive outside of treatment. Huntingdon Valley CTC patients can expect a full assessment before being approved for our program. Our compassionate team will use the information gained from that assessment to personalize your treatment and therapies, giving you the best chance at long-term addiction recovery.
