Lowell Comprehensive Treatment CenterIOP Program in Lowell, MA
Great to meet you
Comprehensive Treatment Centers (CTCs) provide medication-assisted treatment for adults age 18 and older struggling with opioid use disorder. The practice offers a personalized combination of prescription medications such as methadone, Suboxone, buprenorphine, and naltrexone along with counseling services. Counseling includes both individual one-on-one sessions and group counseling, designed to help patients address underlying challenges, learn about addiction and recovery, and develop strategies to avoid relapse. The treatment approach emphasizes that medication alleviates physical withdrawal symptoms while counseling supports the lifestyle changes necessary for long-term recovery from opioid addiction.

Evidence-based approaches
MAT
Medication-Assisted Treatment (MAT). Pairs FDA-approved medications with counseling and behavioral therapy. Standard of care for opioid and alcohol use disorder; emerging evidence in gambling for impulsivity-targeting agents.
Group therapy
Group Therapy. A small facilitated circle where people working on similar struggles practice naming what is hard, hearing themselves in others, and learning skills together. The room is the medicine.

Brief intervention
A therapeutic approach included in this provider’s plan of care. Contact for specifics on how it shows up in their work.
Cognitive behavioral therapy

Contingency management/motivational incentives

Community reinforcement plus vouchers

Motivational interviewing

Relapse prevention

Telemedicine/telehealth therapy
Telehealth Therapy. Real clinical sessions delivered over video. Same evidence base as in-person care for most conditions; meets you where you actually are instead of where the office is.

12-step facilitation
