About Gifford Street Comprehensive Treatment Center
Adults living with opioid use disorder can access medication assisted treatment at the Gilford Street Comprehensive Treatment Center in New Bedford, Massachusetts. In medication assisted treatment, counseling and prescription medications are used together to tackle the psychological and physical drivers of addiction. The Comprehensive Treatment Center accepts most insurance plans and government funding, and there are affordable self pay options if you don’t have coverage.
In treatment, you’re prescribed methadone or buprenorphine that reduce withdrawal symptoms, banish cravings, and block the effects of opioids. It’s great that the Comprehensive Treatment Center offers more maintenance medications than just methadone. This means that you’ll receive a medication that works best for you and your recovery.
As well as medication, you’ll also attend group and individual counseling sessions. During these sessions, counselors use proven talking therapies like dialectical behavioral therapy, which help you address the root cause of your addiction and develop healthy coping skills that lead to lasting change.
