About Specialized Treatment Services Central
Specialized Treatment Services Central is an outpatient substance use treatment provider in Minneapolis, Minnesota that specializes in opioid use disorder. The team offers a continuum of care to support ongoing recovery. Clients may benefit from a multidisciplinary approach that includes medical staff, licensed counselors and case managers working together in a non-judgmental, client-centered environment.
Supportive Medications
The center provides medication-assisted treatment using methadone maintenance, buprenorphine maintenance or medically supervised taper for opioid dependence. These medications help reduce drug cravings and lessen withdrawal symptoms so guests can focus on recovery without distractions that could hinder their treatment progress.
Targeting Root Causes
Although medications support recovery, they don't address the potential underlying conditions that lead to substance use. Outpatient counseling includes individual therapy sessions (required more frequently early in treatment) and group education covering relapse prevention, stress management, life skills, career building and family support.
Clients can work through past traumas and develop coping skills for anger management and stress reduction. They may learn to recognize substance use triggers and avoid relapse issues after treatment for sustained sobriety
The program welcomes pregnant individuals, people recently released from incarceration who are at risk of relapse, and clients needing gender-specific non-residential programming or dual diagnosis support for co-occurring mental health concerns.
