Sanford Treatment Center
About Sanford Treatment Center
You’ll find Sanford Treatment Center in Sanford, North Carolina about 45 miles southwest of Raleigh. They provide heroin and opioid use disorder treatment for adults. You can access medication assisted treatment at this outpatient clinic.
Medication Assisted Treatment
With MAT, you can tackle the physical and psychological aspects of addiction simultaneously. Their programs prescribe FDA approved medications, methadone or buprenorphine, to manage withdrawal symptoms and cravings associated with quitting opioids. You’ll also participate in proven therapeutic interventions including individual and group therapy as well as drug education.
Guest Dosing
One great thing I noticed about them was that they offer guest dosing. That way, if you’re traveling, you can still stay on track with your medication. They charge guests by the day for treatment and welcome anyone seeking services.
Medical Services
I also think it’s nice that they provide medical services. You can access a physical with a medical doctor, lab work, medical evaluations, complete blood work, pregnancy testing and Hepatitis testing at this location. They ensure you’re in proper physical health and can safely begin treatment. You’ll benefit from ongoing support for your overall well being throughout recovery.
Case Management
Their case management services also caught my eye. Case managers can help you improve other essential life aspects such as housing and employment. You’ll benefit from community service referrals to help you build stability beyond treatment.
Client Experiences
Many former clients enjoyed their services. Some mentioned short wait times and a caring, professional staff. Others discussed issues with billing and charges. Be sure to research and consider multiple facilities to find the best care for you.
