About New Directions Treatment Services
New Directions Treatment Services (NDTS) is a CARF accredited, nonprofit outpatient opioid treatment program that serves adults in the Lehigh Valley from its Bethlehem, Pennsylvania office. The program offers detox and medication assisted treatment.
They treat opioid and other substance use disorders and they view recovery as a long term journey.
Detox and MAT for Opioid Use Disorder
NDTS specializes in outpatient detox and MAT for adults and offers medications such as methadone, buprenorphine, and naltrexone. Medical and behavioral staff work together to determine the medication that best fits each patient.
Medication is paired with required client and group counseling and regular drug-use screening.
Treatment draws on evidence-based approaches like cognitive behavioral therapy and motivational interviewing, contingency management using the Matrix Model, and relapse prevention which addresses both the physical and underlying causes of addiction.
Recovery Support and Care for Pregnant Patients
NDTS connects patients with case management, housing and social-services assistance, peer support and employment counseling, and naloxone overdose education.
The program offers prompt treatment for pregnant and postpartum women with opioid use disorder. Services are offered in English and Spanish.

Inpatient and residential programs provide round-the-clock medical and emotional support as you live at the treatment facility. This level of care may be recommended if you have severe addictions or mental health conditions, because it offers a distraction-free environment where you can focus solely on recovery. |
Outpatient therapy involves attending therapy sessions several times each week while living at home. This is suitable if you have a strong support system and a lower risk of relapse. Outpatient treatment offers flexibility to maintain other obligations such as work or school. |
