Bellingham Comprehensive Treatment Center Accredited
Bellingham Comprehensive Treatment Center (CTC) is a trusted provider of outpatient opioid addiction treatment. Conveniently located in Bellingham, Washington, our team offers care for adults age 18 and older using medication-assisted treatment (MAT). Medication-assisted treatment is an approach to opioid addiction treatment that combines the use of prescription medication with counseling. MAT is backed by decades of research, and its effectiveness is noted by organizations like the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) and the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA). Some methadone clinics are only able to offer methadone for their patients, but at Bellingham CTC, we can provide prescriptions for both methadone and buprenorphine. Before starting treatment, each person takes part in an assessment where our team gathers information about their background, including their health history, current and past drug use, and additional factors that could impact their treatment process. Our team reviews the results of that assessment and then determines which medication may be most appropriate for each person. All medications used in MAT are approved by the FDA for both short- and long-term use. Along with prescribing and monitoring the effects of medication, the staff at Bellingham CTC also offers individual and group counseling. These sessions give patients separate opportunities to meet one-on-one with a team member and with a group of peers who may be experiencing similar struggles with addiction. The support and encouragement that patients can receive in these sessions can be instrumental in their recovery process.
