Is the word tratamentos the same in Brazilian and European Portuguese?

Yes

The only difference between the word in Brazilian and Continental Portuguese is pronunciation. In Brazilian Portuguese, the vowels are generally more open, and the rhythm of the word is more syllable-timed. In Continental Portuguese, the unstressed vowels (such as the "e" in "tratamentos") are much more closed and often reduced or nearly silent, and the rhythm is more stress-timed.
