Cooley Dickinson Hospital

About Cooley Dickinson Hospital

Cooley Dickinson Hospital is located in Northampton, Massachusetts. The hospital offers a comprehensive array of health services. These include mental health and substance use disorder (SUD) treatment. The hospital also has an inpatient crisis stabilization unit and provides medication assisted treatment (MAT).

Emergency Room Handles Crises and Referrals

The emergency department handles acute crises and facilitates referrals for detox and ongoing SUD treatment. The behavioral health unit treats adults 18 and older.

You can pay for treatment using most major insurance plans. The hospital also accepts Medicaid (MassHealth) and Medicare. The facility is conveniently located near downtown Northampton and the Connecticut River Greenway.

Inclusive Care Policies

I think you may appreciate the hospital’s LGBTQ+ friendly policies. The staff emphasizes nondiscriminatory and inclusive mental health and SUD treatment. Past patients have highlighted the skilled and compassionate staff.

Many people have mentioned the staff’s willingness to help with addiction and mental health issues and their prompt response to people in crisis. Others have noted that the staff helped connect them with referrals and continuing treatment after discharge.

Trauma Informed Treatment Services

The multidisciplinary treatment team includes social workers, clinical psychiatrists, nurses and people skilled in addiction medicine. I like that the environment is calming with a chapel and integrated medical care is easily accessible. There are social workers and case managers available to assist with care coordination and discharge planning.
