Sanford Treatment Center LLC

Sanford Treatment Center LLC provides outpatient medication-assisted treatment for adults managing opioid use disorder and heroin addiction in Lee County and the surrounding communities of Lillington, Broadway, and Carthage. Rather than a residential or inpatient setting, the program is structured as an outpatient service — meaning clients engage in treatment during morning clinic hours and continue living at home, maintaining their jobs, families, and community ties throughout the recovery process.

The center offers both methadone and buprenorphine as medication options, each supported by a clinical team delivering individual therapy, group therapy, family counseling, case management, and drug education. This combination of medication management and behavioral support is central to how the program addresses the long-term nature of opioid use disorder recovery.

One of the most practical aspects of Sanford Treatment Center's outpatient program is its transparent, self-pay pricing structure. Admission is $25 and includes a physical exam and blood work. After admission, methadone clients pay $12 per day and buprenorphine clients pay $14.50 per day, seven days a week. There are no hidden enrollment fees or complex insurance requirements — the cost structure is straightforward and published openly.

For adults already in recovery who are visiting or temporarily staying in the Sanford area, guest-dosing is available. Guest-dosing clients are charged only for daily treatment, providing continuity of care without disrupting an established recovery program. Self-payment is the accepted payment method, making this an accessible option for people who need ongoing substance abuse treatment without relying on insurance coverage.

Recovery from opioid use disorder rarely happens in isolation, and Sanford Treatment Center reflects that reality by incorporating family counseling and education as a core component of its outpatient program. Family members and supportive loved ones can engage with the treatment process directly, building the kind of informed support network that helps sustain recovery over time.

Beyond the clinic itself, the center connects clients to broader community services through referrals — an aftercare support element that acknowledges the ongoing nature of the recovery journey. Whether someone needs housing resources, additional counseling, or other community-based supports, case management at Sanford Treatment Center is designed to bridge the gap between clinical treatment and real-world recovery.

The program is designed for adults in central North Carolina — specifically those dealing with opioid use disorder or heroin addiction who are seeking an outpatient recovery option close to home. The center's service area covers Sanford, Lillington, Broadway, and Carthage, placing it within reach of a broad rural and suburban population in Lee County that may otherwise have limited local access to specialized medication-assisted treatment.

The early clinic hours — 5:30 AM to 12:05 PM Monday through Friday, and 7 to 9 AM on Saturdays — are built around the realities of working adults and caregivers in recovery. This scheduling philosophy treats clients as people with full lives, not just patients managing a medical condition, and it reflects the center's practical, community-oriented approach to outpatient addiction treatment.
