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.

Levels of Care

Outpatient Rehab

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.

Dual Diagnosis & Mental Health

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.

Financial Aid

If you're struggling to pay for treatment, financial aid may be a solution for you. This can provide access to... all levels of care. Financial assistance options include grants, scholarships, non-profit programs, personal funding, and health insurance programs to help you manage the expense of substance abuse treatment.

Payment Plans & Financing

For those who are underinsured or uninsured, paying the total cost of a rehab program up front is not feasible.... Fortunately, many alcohol and drug rehabs make financing available to potential clients through private loans, in-house payment plans, or partner lenders. You can choose a finance package that lets you start treatment immediately and pay for it later.

Medicaid Accepted

If you're in need of financial assistance, MassHealth may be an option for you. MassHealth can help pay for al...l levels of care, including detox and inpatient rehabilitation.

Medicare Accepted

As a resident of Massachusetts with MassHealth Senior Care Options, you may have coverage options to help with... the cost of treatment. The amount of coverage will depend on many things, including whether you are seeking inpatient or outpatient treatment for substance abuse.

Private Insurance

If you have private insurance, you can use it to help cover the cost of treatment. Most rehab insurance polici...es tend to have different coverage rates and costs that policyholders are responsible for paying, so check with your insurer for detailed information.

Self-Pay Options

If you prefer to take control of the cost of your treatment, you can opt to pay for it yourself through self-p...ay options, also known as private pay. This option provides access to all levels of care — from detox to inpatient rehabilitation — because you’re not limited by the rules of insurers or state-run programs.

Sliding Scale Payment

If you can't pay the full cost of treatment, a sliding scale payment plan may be a solution for you. This opti...on provides access to all levels of care. To qualify for this treatment discount, you must complete an application and provide supporting financial documentation.
