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.

Addiction Treatment Programs

Adult Program Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) Senior Drug & Alcohol Rehab Teen & Adolescent Program

Adult Program

Each adult program in Massachusetts is designed to help individuals over the age of 18 recover from addiction to drugs or alcohol. The length of the program and its intensity varies, based on the needs of the individual.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

Cognitive behavioral therapy in Massachusetts is a hands-on method that engages participants in changing their thought and behavior patterns. Rather than a talk-listen approach, individuals are actively involved in working with their therapist to treat their addiction.

Senior Drug & Alcohol Rehab

Elderly rehab in Massachusetts addresses both addiction issues and common challenges faced by older adults. By dealing with grief, loss, social isolation, and financial uncertainty, participants are given tools to overcome addiction later in life.

Teen & Adolescent Program

Teen and young adult substance abuse can set individuals on a life-long path of destruction. A young adult program in Massachusetts can intervene in young adults’ lives to set them on a better path during this crucial stage of life.
