About Lowell Comprehensive Treatment Center

Lowell Comprehensive Treatment Center (CTC) provides opioid addiction services for adults 18 and older. The clinic in Lowell, Massachusetts, includes flexible care to help guests break the addiction cycle and thrive in sobriety.

Convenient Programming

The center offers outpatient treatment so guests can continue with work, school, or family obligations without interrupting their busy schedules. They provide telemedicine appointments for clients who cannot schedule clinic visits. The 24/7 appointment scheduling means you find assistance when you need it most.

Lessening Withdrawal Symptoms

Some clients may avoid addiction treatment due to uncomfortable withdrawal symptoms. They include medication-assisted treatment (MAT) to reduce cravings and minimize symptoms so guests remain comfortable during treatment. They offer FDA-approved methadone, buprenorphine, and Suboxone. It depends on the individual’s needs.

The team at CTC understands that medications reduce symptoms, but they won’t address the root causes of addiction. Clients attend counseling sessions to uncover the potential contributing factors to their substance use. They can also develop healthy coping skills, learn to recognize substance use triggers, and find appropriate techniques to avoid relapse.

Personalized Care

One focus is compassionate care. Their team understands it can be hard to seek treatment and welcomes guests with respect and positivity. You also have customized care plans that meet your needs rather than a generic approach to treatment that doesn’t consider individual goals.

The outpatient program allows guests to enjoy visits to nearby areas that promote recovery with relaxation, time for reflection, and physical exercise. They can visit the Lowell National Historic Park with walking trails and green spaces when not attending treatment.

I have been a patient here for 4-5 years. They are very organized, patient, professional, and never make you feel like a hassle or failure. If there’s anyone out there looking for help just walk in, there are no appts needed. and maybe you will leave with a whole new life. Thank you to the staff for always being outstanding.

I was ready to become a patient transferring from my current clinic. I was all ready to move forward because when I initially called and spoke with the people in the office they told me that my 27 day take-homes would be able to be transferred to their clinic. They were very confused about the difference between Medicare and Medicaid though so they had to reach out to their billing department and call me back later. Well, when they did call me back after checking with billing, the story about me being allowed to continue or rather have my take-homes transferred and honored completely changed& I was told, "no they would not transfer my take homes, you have to start over from the beginning daily dosing every day," despite the fact that I have more than two years clean & have been getting take-homes for 2 years. This is unacceptable. Imagine if you are an individual who has had a month of take-homes for two, five, seven years and you move to a new state, you have a job, you've been clean for longer than the amount of time you've had your take-homes and this clinic is going to completely disrupt your life by making you come in every day for 3 months before you can even get five take homes and then it'll be another 6 months before you can get two two week take homes and then an entire year before you can get back to your 27-day take-homes. The clinic that I'm at currently accepts patients who have take homes and allows them to continue their take-homes as long as the previous clinic provides drug tests and a positive referral. It's unfathomable that CTC refuses to acknowledge the amount of work that individuals have put in to their recovery and acknowledge that by allowing them to continue the take-homes they have had for multiple years. Instead they penalize you for absolutely no reason. I'd be willing to go in weekly and drug test but I'm not willing to give up my 27 take homes because there is absolutely no reason for them to take those away from me simply because I need to transfer to another clinic. I don't care if I have to drive 50 miles to find a clinic that will honor and continue my take-homes. Simply based on the incorrect information they gave me initially, their lack of understanding of how Medicare works (they asked me if my medicare was New Hampshire Medicare and I tried to explain to them that it's not Medicaid it's Medicare which is a federal program so it's not by state which the individualized spoke with didn't seem to understand and didn't seem to understand the difference between Medicare and Medicaid), their lack of being willing to work with individuals who have been clean for a significant amount of time and have take homes my recommendation to anybody considering this clinic is to stay away from them. When you call to become a new patient make sure you call the actual location and don't just schedule an intake appointment because you could be wasting your time. While I have been looking for new clinics, I am making sure that I am calling the actual office and not the phone lines that just send you to the call centers where they want to get you set up immediately with an intake appointment without allowing you to speak with the actual physical office where the clinic is located. Any clinic that doesn't acknowledge the amount of work that individuals who are in active recovery have put in and are unwilling to honor the privilege that you have worked so hard to attain is a clinic you need to be very wary of so my advice would be stay away from this clinic.

Accepted Insurance

Lowell Comprehensive Treatment Center works with several private insurance providers and also accepts private payments when possible, please contact to verify your specific insurance provider.

Other Forms of Payment

Medicaid is a state based program that helps lower-income individuals and families pay for healthcare. Medicaid covers addiction treatment so those enrolled can use their coverage to pay for rehab. When a program accepts Medicaid the client often pays very little or nothing out of their own pocket.

Private insurance refers to any kind of healthcare coverage that isn't from the state or federal government. This includes individual and family plans offered by an employer or purchased from the Insurance Marketplace. Every plan will have different requirements and out of pocket costs so be sure to get the full details before you start treatment.

Self-pay involves paying for treatment out of your own pocket. You can use savings or credit, get a personal loan, or receive help from family and friends to fund your treatment. If you don't have insurance or your insurance plan doesn't cover a specific program, self-pay can help ensure you still get the care you need.

Medicare is a federal program that provides health insurance for those 65 and older. It also serves people under 65 with chronic and disabling health challenges. To use Medicare for addiction treatment you need to find a program that accepts Medicare and is in network with your plan. Out of pocket costs and preauthorization requirements vary, so always check with your provider.

Addiction Treatments

Levels of Care

outpatient iconOutpatient

Outpatient Programs (OP) are for those seeking mental rehab or drug rehab, but who also stay at home every night. The main difference between outpatient treatment (OP) and intensive outpatient treatment (IOP) lies in the amount of hours the patient spends at the facility. Most of the time an outpatient program is designed for someone who has completed an inpatient stay and is looking to continue their growth in recovery. Outpatient is not meant to be the starting point, it is commonly referred to as aftercare.

medically-assisted-detox iconMedically Assisted Detox

Drug and alcohol addiction often takes a heavy toll on one's body. Over time, a physical dependence can develop, meaning the body physiologically needs the substance to function. Detox is the process of removing drugs and/or alcohol from the body, a process that can be lethal if mismanaged. Medical detox is done by licensed medical professionals who monitor vital signs and keep you safe, healthy, and as comfortable as possible as you go through detox and withdrawal.

Treatments

The goal of treatment for alcoholism is abstinence. Those with poor social support, poor motivation, or psychiatric disorders tend to relapse within a few years of treatment. For these people, success is measured by longer periods of abstinence, reduced use of alcohol, better health, and improved social functioning. Recovery and Maintenance are usually based on 12 step programs and AA meetings.

Addiction is a highly complex problem, and drug rehab in Massachusetts is often necessary to address it. These programs treat physical, mental, and relational issues that are involved. Treatment empowers individuals to manage these issues without the use of drugs.

Opioid rehabs specialize in supporting those recovering from opioid addiction. They treat those suffering from addiction to illegal opioids like heroin, as well as prescription drugs like oxycodone. These centers typically combine both physical as well as mental and emotional support to help stop addiction. Physical support often includes medical detox and subsequent medical support (including medication), and mental support includes in-depth therapy to address the underlying causes of addiction.

Substance rehabs focus on helping individuals recover from substance abuse, including alcohol and drug addiction (both illegal and prescription drugs). They often include the opportunity to engage in both individual as well as group therapy.

Programs

adult-program thumbnail image

Adult Program

Adult rehab programs include therapies tailored to each client's specific needs, goals, and recovery progress. They are tailored to the specific challenges adult clients may face, including family and work pressures and commitments. From inpatient and residential treatment to various levels of outpatient services, there are many options available. Some facilities also help adults work through co-occurring conditions, like anxiety, that can accompany addiction.
young-adult-program thumbnail image

Young Adult Program

Young adulthood can be an exciting, yet difficult, time of transition. Individuals in their late teens to mid-20s face unique stressors related to school, jobs, families, and social circles, which can lead to a rise in substance use. Rehab centers with dedicated young adult programs will include activities and amenities that cater to this age group, with an emphasis on specialized counseling, peer socialization, and ongoing aftercare.

Clinical Services

Group therapy is any therapeutic work that happens in a group (not one-on-one). There are a number of different group therapy modalities, including support groups, experiential therapy, psycho-education, and more. Group therapy involves treatment as well as processing interaction between group members.

Accreditations

The Commission on Accreditation of Rehabilitation Facilities (CARF) is a non-profit organization that specifically accredits rehab organizations. Founded in 1966, CARF's, mission is to help service providers like rehab facilities maintain high standards of care.

CARF Accreditation: Yes
