About Dorchester House Multi Service Center
Dorchester House Health Multi Service Center in Dorchester, Massachusetts offers a range of health care and community services such as a food pantry, financial counseling and a swimming pool. This center is recognized by the Joint Commission and is affiliated with Boston Medical Center. They offer dental, eye care and behavioral health departments. I like that their staff is diverse and offers services in English, Spanish, French, Vietnamese, Kikongo and Lingola.
Their behavioral health department provides counseling for individuals, families and couples. They also run various group sessions. They can help if you’re dealing with anxiety, depression, mental illness, post-traumatic stress, anger management or substance abuse. Some of their groups run in Vietnamese or Spanish. A clinician is available for emergency support when the clinic is closed.
To begin treatment you’ll need an evaluation appointment. Then you’ll be assigned a therapist. Their substance abuse treatment team includes doctors, nurses and addiction counselors. They offer medication assisted treatment using Suboxone and naltrexone. HIV and Hepatitis C treatment as well as treatment for chronic pain and mental health conditions are also available.
