About Fitchburg Comprehensive Treatment Center
Located just an hour outside of Boston in Fitchburg, Massachusetts, Fitchburg Comprehensive Treatment Center provides outpatient treatment for individuals struggling with opioid use disorder. These services are offered to adults aged 18 and older. The primary treatment provided at this facility is medication assisted treatment (MAT).
I like that, in contrast to some locations, they provide more than one medication to take as a part of your treatment. You have the option of being administered methadone or Suboxone to help reduce your cravings and withdrawal symptoms. Methadone, in particular, reduces your symptoms without producing the euphoric effects that are common with opioid use.
As you take these medications, you’ll participate in both individual and group therapies. Your therapist will work with you to get to the root cause of your addiction. They’ll help you examine and resolve any trauma or negative emotions that have potentially caused your opioid use. You’ll also learn coping skills and other tools that can help you maintain your sobriety.
In group therapy, your peers will provide you with support as you go through recovery, and you’ll have the chance to share your experiences. The counselor leading the discussions will likely cover topics such as stress management, anger management, and other issues related to addiction.
One aspect I find helpful with this facility is they provide multiple options for payment. You can pay through commercial insurance, Veteran Affairs, Medicaid and Medicare. You also have the option of public funding if you qualify for it or self pay.
Fitchburg is close to a lot of nature areas you can spend time enjoying. The center is sandwiched between the Nashua River and South Fitchburg Playground. Two popular options you can enjoy include the Crocker Conservation Area and the Cowdrey Nature Center.
Addiction Treatment Programs
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.
Most alcohol rehab in Massachusetts consists of individual counseling and group therapy sessions, which address mental and emotional concerns that are contributing to alcohol use. Treatment helps participants make changes to maintain sobriety and prevent relapse.

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.
Addiction is a highly complex problem, and drug rehab in Massachusetts is often necessary to address it. These programs treat physical, mental, and relational issues that are involved. Treatment empowers individuals to manage these issues without the use of drugs.
Addiction therapists apply rational emotive behavioral therapy in Massachusetts to focus on the interconnectedness of behaviors, thoughts, and feelings. The aim of therapy is for these three things to work together to improve your quality of life rather than lead to dysfunction.
Moral Reconation Therapy (MRT) is a form of psychotherapy commonly used in addiction recovery. Based on cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), moral reconation therapy (MRT) helps clients recognize unhealthy and/or harmful thought patterns and to replace them with more positive and productive ones. MRT is designed to empower clients to make healthier life choices and to more effectively align their behaviors with their moral values.
Levels of Care
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.
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.
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.
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.
You don’t have to be an expert on interventions to help an addicted loved one. Staff members offer intervention services in Massachusetts, providing support when planning and facilitating an intervention, connecting you with community resources, and helping with the development of your loved one's treatment plan.
Accreditations
Insurance
If you prefer to take control of the cost of your treatment, you can opt to pay for it yourself through self-pay 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.
If you have private insurance, you can use it to help cover the cost of treatment. Most rehab insurance policies tend to have different coverage rates and costs that policyholders are responsible for paying, so check with your insurer for detailed information.
If you're in need of financial assistance, MassHealth may be an option for you. MassHealth can help pay for all levels of care, including detox and inpatient rehabilitation.
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.
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.
If you can't pay the full cost of treatment, a sliding scale payment plan may be a solution for you. This option provides access to all levels of care. To qualify for this treatment discount, you must complete an application and provide supporting financial documentation.
