Massachusetts Drug And Alcohol Treatment Programs
Massachusetts’s BSAS details a range of substance abuse programs that are available in the state, from prevention services to residential services, ambulatory services, and aftercare support.
The Massachusetts drug rehab program you attend will likely be based on an individual assessment of your needs, which will take into account:
your alcohol or drug addiction history
your drug or alcohol rehab history
your co-occurring mental health issues
your overall health and willingness to change
Based on this assessment, you’ll have access to several levels of care that best meet your addiction and overall mental/behavioral health needs.
Medical Detoxification In Massachusetts
Before you can begin addiction treatment in earnest, you must stabilize your body and mind. To help keep you comfortable and safe during the withdrawal process, you may be advised to attend a medical detox program.
Detox programs may provide:
medical support and supervision
IV fluids and nutrition
comfort measures
medications to alleviate symptoms, if necessary
Due to the range in severity of withdrawal symptoms, it’s recommended to receive professional care as you detox alcohol or drugs from your system. Once you finish detox, you’ll enroll at a treatment facility that best aligns with your needs and goals.
Inpatient Drug Rehab In Massachusetts
Inpatient or residential treatment in Massachusetts provides short-term and long-term care in a supportive therapeutic environment. You’ll live in a residential rehab facility for the duration of the program, and have access to a variety of recovery services that may include:
individual counseling
group therapy
evidence-based behavioral therapy
integrated care for mental and behavioral health
wellness classes and activities
holistic care approaches like yoga or meditation
These services will be organized and structured around your individual treatment plan, and you may stay in the facility for under or over 30 days.
Outpatient Addiction Treatment In Massachusetts
Outpatient treatment is an ambulatory service that allows you to live at home and travel daily or weekly for treatment.
Outpatient treatment programs in Massachusetts include:
day treatment or partial hospitalization programs (PHPs)
intensive outpatient programs (IOPs)
outpatient programs (OPs)
PHPs are the most comprehensive form of outpatient care available, and a standard OP may simply offer education and access to support groups. IOPs are somewhere in the middle and provide multiple hours of counseling and therapy each week.
Medication-Assisted Treatment In Massachusetts
Medication-assisted treatment (MAT) in Massachusetts provides medically monitored treatment services for patients with opioid or alcohol addiction.
MAT programs likely include combination of:
approved medication like disulfiram or buprenorphine
counseling and therapy
education
job assistance
MAT programs may be available on both a long-term and short-term basis, as well as be included in many inpatient or outpatient treatment programs.
Aftercare Support
Addiction is a chronic, lifelong disease that requires continual support after finishing a treatment program. Aftercare services offer various resources and supports that may include:
recovery housing
vocational services
education
self-help support groups
case management
A case manager can help connect patients and their families to community resources, ongoing support systems, and other services that promote long-term recovery.
