The Right Stuff As with other serious illnesses, it is critical that you find the right treatment for the particular problem you or someone you love has. A great treatment approach for the wrong problem can end up in disaster. That?s why at Family Addiction Treatment Center (FATC) we carefully evaluate each person to determine the right treatment plan for each individual. Addiction Treatment is not one-size-fits-all. Some patients require a brief program of medication following by counseling and supportive programs to help them remain abstinent. Other persons may require longer periods of medication assisted treatment and like others with chronic illness, some patients require maintenance medication. At FATC we work with each patient to decide what is best. Together with each patient we are a treatment team dedicated to success.
