About San Diego Comprehensive Treatment Center
San Diego Comprehensive Treatment Center (CTC) in San Diego, California, offers adults aged 18 and older medication-assisted treatment (MAT) for opioid use disorder. The program helps individuals struggling with addiction to heroin, prescription painkillers, or other opioids by providing prescription medications such as buprenorphine, methadone, Suboxone, or naltrexone. These medications help reduce withdrawal symptoms and support recovery. Alongside medication, the center provides customized counseling through individual and group therapy sessions, equipping patients with resources for long-term recovery. Patients appreciate the clinic's efficiency and quick service, noting that wait times are generally manageable. The staff is seen as competent and caring, with the supervising clinician being especially approachable and easy to talk to. The clinic maintains a clean environment, and the nurses are well-trained and capable. However, some mention that the front desk staff could improve their confidence and professionalism, as they sometimes seem unsure of their roles. Counselors at CTC, particularly one named Gary Franks, receive high praise for their understanding, support, and personalized advice, which many patients find instrumental in their recovery. One patient expressed deep gratitude for Gary’s help and considers him a trusted ally. Over time, the clinic has improved significantly, with patients acknowledging a positive change in the overall quality of care. Many describe their experiences as supportive, respectful, and effective in helping them lead better, drug-free lives.
SDCTC is an outstanding facility that has profoundly impacted my journey toward recovery and may have saved my life. Navigating opiate addiction is incredibly complex, and attempting it without professional assistance can feel overwhelming. While I cannot speak to the Fashion Valley location, the Clairmont Mesa Blvd center, under the compassionate supervision of Amanda, has changed my perspective on Medication-Assisted Treatment (MAT). I was skeptical about the idea of substituting one substance for another. However, I’ve come to realize that MAT allows you to rebuild your life without hitting absolute rock bottom.

I personally really like this clinic because theyre efficient and quick for the most part in getting the patients what they need or want. The wait time is never out of control and the staff is pretty great they're definitely competent for the most part. The supervising clinician of the place is so awesome, shes very approachable and easy to talk to. In fact if she quit today I would find another clinic. The office itself is clean and the nurses are well trained and capable. The lady behind the front desk is slightly less capable than I would like the front desk person to be she doesn't seem very sure of what she's doing or what's going on how to do her job very well. I'm sure she's a nice person but it takes more than niceties to be the face of a methadone clinic.
I wanted to express my deep gratitude to Gary Franks, one of the councilors at CTC for always being there for me. Not only does he understand my situation, he also listens to me and gives me advice tailored to my issues that is useful in my personal & professional life. I've never used a program like this prior to my enrollment with CTC. Gary made me feel comfortable, safe and not only do I trust him, I also consider him one of my most trusted supportive allies. 5-Stars!!!!
I wish I could say the same about some of the others in their office. Gotta take the good with the bad.
