About the Division The Lane County Treatment Center provides outpatient treatment for adults with opioid use disorder. We view drug involvement as a complex issue, and as such, we design each patient’s treatment, according to the individual’s own stated goals. We embrace a humanistic approach which honors a broad spectrum of treatment philosophies, from a more traditional abstinence based, disease model of addiction, to a harm reduction, adaptation model of drug involvement. We believe in treating the whole person, not just the drug use. The road to personal recovery is difficult on many levels and relapse is common and expected at various points along the way. We support each patient through their relapses, addressing their individual dynamics and relationship to the drugs they use. We believe that patients benefit from our program by being involved in all aspects of their treatment, including treatment planning. We believe that all individuals with chemical dependence deserve to be treated with dignity and respect. We challenge the stigma often associated with drug involved individuals, and work to educate individuals, families, and the community to the underlying issues that lead people to abuse substances.
