South Portland Comprehensive Treatment Center

South Portland Comprehensive Treatment Center (CTC) provides treatment for people who are struggling with opioid addiction. We offer medication-assisted treatment (MAT) to adults age 18 and older of all genders.

MAT combines both medication and counseling to address opioid addiction and is more effective than using one intervention by itself. Methadone clinics that offer MAT are highly qualified to help you address opioid addiction. The American Society of Addiction Medicine and the National Council for Behavioral Health both support the use of MAT. MAT is a holistic approach that addresses the whole person.

We tailor each person’s treatment plan according to their needs and goals, and no two people have the same plan of care. For medication, we use methadone and Suboxone® to aid in ending opioid use. Medication eases the highly unpleasant experience of withdrawal and does not cause the effects of euphoria that are felt with opioids. Medication also helps to stabilize bodily health that may have been harmed due to opioid use.

In addition to medications, our center also offers individual and group therapy services. These can help you explore your thoughts and emotions and how they have been impacted by opioid use. You can also learn behavioral techniques, developing new ways to avoid opioid use and potential relapse. In group counseling, a qualified professional facilitates discussions where people learn from one another. This allows for giving and receiving peer support in the treatment process.

At South Portland CTC, we take time to understand your individual needs regarding opioid addiction. During our intake process, we ask about your past drug use and recent living circumstances, and we also want to hear about your concerns about receiving services at our methadone clinic. This helps us determine which medication is best for you and allows you to set personal goals for recovery that are unique to you.

Recovering from opioid addiction is a long-term process, and we want you to feel safe and comfortable while receiving treatment from us. We take care to maintain a warm and welcoming environment where you feel free to share. This helps people flourish in our program.

The first step in addressing opioid addiction is making the decision to pursue professional help. We are here for you when you are ready.
