Comprehensive Treatment Center

CTC is an outpatient methadone maintenance treatment program. Our holistic, results-oriented approach combines personal and family guidance. We coordinate medical and counseling services that enable our customers to recover from substance abuse and become productive members of our community.

We Put People First

Opioid addiction is a chronic life-threatening disease which may take years to treat, so relapse prevention is our main focus. The goal of treatment sobriety, with the hope of improving quality of life. So our program includes opioid replacement therapy using methadone and we coordinate medical and counseling services.

Our Approach is Effective

In Washington, DC, 2,548 people died from drug overdoses between 2017-2022. Yet CTC lost only one customer to an overdose during that time. Why? Because CTC’s Medication Assisted Treatment and counseling are part of a holistic approach. Education is the key, including training customers to protect themselves from fentanyl.

Mr. L’s Success Story

When Mr. L enrolled in CTC 7 years ago, he was addicted to drugs, homeless, unemployed, penniless, and on the verge of divorce. He had hit bottom. The 7 years of intensive treatment at CTC helped him regain everything he lost. He completed his treatment, owns a business, and has been completely drug-free for 3 years. Bravo!

James, age 43, entered treatment for a dependence on opioid pain medicine. He benefited from 1-on-1 and group counseling while he started a business and his wife gave birth to 2 children. He ended his dependence and his family is so proud!
