Highlights of the Opioid Treatment Program
Caron’s Opioid Treatment Program incorporates proven, medically driven methods for treating opioid addiction. Individual and group therapy allow you to address mental health and emotional issues that stand in the way of your long-term recovery. Through modalities like dialectical behavioral therapy (DBT), cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), and cognitive processing therapy (CPT), you can build a foundation to sustain your recovery.
Caron’s Opioid Treatment Program includes:
- Comprehensive medical screenings and psychological assessments.
- Medical detoxification services in our state-of-the-art medical center.
- Medication-assisted treatment (MAT) to provide relief from symptoms.
- Specialty groups that offer a space to work on mental health issues or co-occurring disorders, as well as life skills to form a solid foundation for recovery.
- Holistic therapies, ranging from mindfulness meditation and yoga to fitness activities and nutritional consultation.
- Spiritual support.
- The use of technology to assess, measure, monitor, and identify common physical and mental opioid relapse indicators so we can intervene immediately.
Located on our Pennsylvania campus, the Opioid Program incorporates overall mental behavioral health, including treatment of co-occurring disorders.
With more than 60 years of history treating substance use disorder and process addictions, Caron emphasizes Recovery for Life. Its cornerstones are clinical excellence and uncompromising patient-centered care. That's why we provide every patient with lifetime support. Substance use disorder is a chronic treatable brain disease that requires a long-term management plan.
At Caron, we believe it is critical for the family to be part of their loved one’s treatment process. Our multi-day family program is designed to provide family members with the information they need to better understand substance use disorder, mental health disorders, and how best to support their loved one in their recovery. The program enables the whole family to recover and move forward in ways that lead to optimal emotional health for everyone.

Medically Driven Treatment
Opioids disrupt normal brain functioning, leading to withdrawal symptoms like anxiety, sleeplessness, cramping, and sweating. With opioid-based medication-assisted treatment (MAT), you get relief from overwhelming withdrawal symptoms and relief from the intense cravings that come with opioid addiction.
Caron uses sublingual buprenorphine and extended release depot naltrexone or extended release depot buprenorphine in its program. Based on your medical needs and history, our team will determine which medication will be most helpful to you.
