Shelby Comprehensive Treatment Center

About Shelby Comprehensive Treatment Center

Shelby Comprehensive Treatment Center is an outpatient opioid treatment program and methadone clinic in Shelby, North Carolina, serving adults throughout Cleveland County and nearby communities. They work with men and women age 18 and older who are struggling with opioid use disorder, including addiction to fentanyl, heroin, and prescription painkillers. Their care centers on medication-assisted treatment (MAT), an evidence-based approach that pairs medication with counseling to address the physical, emotional, and social sides of recovery.

In their MAT program, patients receive medication such as methadone to ease the physical toll of stopping opioids, alongside counseling focused on building healthy routines, coping strategies, and a supportive network that can carry them through setbacks. Because care is outpatient, people can begin recovery while still living at home and keeping up with work, family, and other responsibilities. They offer same-day admission, accept walk-ins, provide take-home dosing for eligible patients, and accept most insurance plans, with help available for those navigating coverage.
