Established in 1985, the Matt Talbot Center (MTC) is a recovery program and treatment center for people living with substance use disorders, homelessness, and mental illness. Located in Seattle’s Belltown neighborhood, the Matt Talbot Center offers hope, services and support to individuals ready to commit to their recovery with an intensive clinical outpatient treatment program offered in a Christian context. Supervised by a Certified Substance Use Disorder Professional (SUDP), this recovery and relapse prevention program addresses the physiology, psychology, and sociology of addiction. The program’s primary goals are to restore participants to healthy lives, and to encourage them to take responsibility for their actions and family obligations. MTC treats “members” holistically, recognizing that each of them has individual needs for physical, mental and spiritual healing.
