About Shelby County Treatment Center

Shelby County Treatment Center at 750 Highway 31 South in Alabaster is part of an Alabama-based network of outpatient opioid treatment programs and is CARF-accredited. The clinic is a SAMHSA-certified Opioid Treatment Program (OTP), meaning it is authorized to provide methadone-based medication-assisted treatment alongside buprenorphine and counseling for clients with opioid use disorder.

The clinic’s clinical model centers on medication-assisted treatment as a tool against opioid addiction, which it frames on its website as ‘a chronic brain disease’ influenced by genetic and environmental factors. By stabilizing brain chemistry through approved medications, MAT helps clients reduce cravings and withdrawal symptoms so they can engage with counseling and rebuild their lives. The center pairs daily dosing options with cognitive behavioral therapy, individual counseling, and group sessions, with intensive outpatient programming available for clients who benefit from additional structure.

Shelby County Treatment Center serves a broad range of adults in central Alabama, including pregnant women, Veterans, older adults, individuals with co-occurring mental health diagnoses, clients with court-related referrals, and people living with HIV/AIDS. SAMHSA also notes accessibility supports for Deaf and hard-of-hearing clients. Pregnant women are a stated priority for admissions consistent with state and federal guidance for opioid use disorder in pregnancy.

Leadership at the program includes Susan Staats Combs, M.Ed., LPC, NCC, MAC, identified on the website as President of ALAMTA (Alabama’s medication-assisted treatment association) and a co-owner of Shelby County Treatment Center. Financially, the clinic accepts Medicaid, Medicare, private insurance, self-pay, and sliding scale financial assistance, making the program accessible across most coverage situations.
