About Salem Comprehensive Treatment Center – Salem
Salem Comprehensive Treatment Center is an opioid addiction recovery facility in metropolitan, urban Salem, Oregon. Service is available to clients who are 18 years or older and of any gender. It’s part of the CTC national network, which provides clinical care and medications in professional modern settings. Their clinic in the state’s capital is no exception.
The main treatment provided at this facility is medication assisted treatment (MAT). One thing that sets them apart from other methadone clinics is that they offer multiple medication options to choose from. The medications and dosages are based on what the staff determines is appropriate for the client after a pre-admission examination. The options they have available to help are buprenorphine, naltrexone, methadone and Suboxone.
The medications used for treatment are designed to help reduce withdrawal symptoms and opioid cravings. They differ in how they’re administered, with some of the medications being taken daily while others are injected into the patient once a month. Some clients may slowly taper off the medication after a few weeks, while others may need long term treatment for months or years. The staff members will guide patients in making these decisions. During counseling, patients will work with compassionate counselors trained in addiction recovery.
The use of these medications is combined with group and individual therapy sessions to give patients the chance of long term recovery. The two therapeutic approaches counselors that counselors will use to treat patients include dialectical (DBT) and cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT). CBT helps clients to identify negative beliefs that are contributing to their addiction. DBT focuses on improving a client’s ability to regulate their emotions and manage their stress so they don’t feel the need to use substances.
