CHD Griswold Center
About CHD Griswold Center
CHD Griswold Center is an addiction treatment center in Palmer, Massachusetts.
Private health insurance and cash payment are taken as well. Care here is outpatient. Buprenorphine and naltrexone are both used in treatment, and therapy is offered by telehealth.
I want to note that the center shares a building with Baystate Wing Hospital.
Do they take Medicare and Medicaid?
They accept Medicaid, Medicare and military insurance such as TRICARE. Medicare and Medicaid each set their own eligibility rules.
The center will continue to take every plan that Baystate Behavioral Health - Palmer accepts.
Who does the center serve?
Patients of all ages can get care at the Palmer site, and I think it's noteworthy that they have more than 24,000 visits a year.
CHD, the nonprofit that runs the center, was founded in 1972 and is the state designated Community Behavioral Health Center for Palmer, Ware, Monson and seven more towns across western Massachusetts.
Amenities

Residential drug rehab provides the comforts of home with the therapeutic support needed to successfully recover. Benefits of an inpatient program include increased safety, a higher success rate, and the time and distance given to focus on recovery.

The first step to a drug-free future is detox. This involves slowly and safely ridding your body of all addictive substances, under 24/7 supervision. This is typically the initial phase of drug rehab in Massachusetts.
As the most intensive treatment setting, inpatient drug rehab in Massachusetts treatment involves 24/7 supervised care. At this level of care, you typically participate in individual, group, and family therapy sessions, and you may receive medication and additional recreational therapies.
Massachusetts outpatient rehab does not have a defined timeline. The program is tailored to meet your recovery needs, and may last 90 days or a year or more. During this time, you will attend therapy sessions and support group meetings, for ongoing accountability and development of sober-living skills.
Aftercare rehab in Massachusetts gives you continued access to support after rehab. You may need assistance with job coaching, budgeting, education, or accountability as you re-enter your life. Aftercare programs provide these supports, so you can face challenges and maintain a sober lifestyle long-term.
If you meet the diagnostic criteria for two or more conditions, you have a dual diagnosis. Massachusetts dual diagnosis treatment is designed to address both conditions simultaneously, for improved recovery outcomes.
