About Parkersburg Comprehensive Treatment Center
Parkersburg Comprehensive Treatment Center is an outpatient opioid treatment program that serves adults 18 and older in Parkersburg, West Virginia.
The program combines medication assisted treatment with counseling, case management and aftercare.
MAT Medication Options
The center has four options that include methadone and buprenorphine, Suboxone and Vivitrol.
Following a thorough assessment and preadmission testing, I like that the clinical team builds a personalized medication and dosing plan around which of these fits the patient.
I want to note that Methadone and buprenorphine act on opioid receptors, while Vivitrol is an antagonist that requires a patient to be fully detoxed first so it's beneficial to have several options.
Having all four available means a person in Parkersburg is not forced into a one size clinic model and can be switched if a first choice does not hold.
Serving Parkersburg Since 2004
Parkersburg Comprehensive Treatment Center has held CARF accreditation as an outpatient opioid treatment program since its first accreditation in 2004.
For a prospective patient, that length of continuous operation signals a program with a long track record in the community, not a recent entrant.
I think it's important to point out how the outpatient structure lets patients receive medication and counseling while living at home and keeping daily responsibilities.
Feedback reflects a family inclusive approach, with one reviewer noting the program "encourage[s] participants to allow family to be a part of the process."
The center serves the Parkersburg area and accepts commercial insurance, Medicaid, Medicare and self pay with 24/7 appointment scheduling by phone.
