Opioid Treatment Program
An Opioid Treatment Program (OTP) is a specialized service designed to help individuals struggling with opioid use disorder. These programs typically provide medication-assisted treatment (MAT), which combines medications like methadone or buprenorphine with counseling and support services. The goal is to reduce cravings and withdrawal symptoms, allowing individuals to focus on recovery.
OTPs are often regulated by government agencies to ensure safety and effectiveness. They may offer various services, including medical assessments, therapy sessions, and support groups. By addressing both the physical and psychological aspects of addiction, OTPs aim to improve the overall well-being of participants and promote long-term recovery.
