Outpatient Behavioral Health & Addiction Services

I like that this is one of Gandara’s outpatient behavioral health clinics that offers a broad array of addiction services to children through seniors. Care is provided in individual, group and family settings, including diagnostic assessments, psychotherapy and other evidence-based treatments.

It’s good to know that this location also has a Behavioral Health Urgent Care Center, where you can receive walk-in treatment for you or a family member experiencing a mental health or substance use disorder crisis

Specialized Education & Programs

Treatment options also include recovery coaching, psychiatric evaluations and medication management. They recognize the importance of education, providing intimate partner abuse and parenting education programs and group treatment for anger management. Each mental health condition is associated with substance use disorders and addiction.

The center has achieved national accreditation through the Council on Accreditation for serving individuals in the community. They accept Massachusetts Medicaid and many private insurance plans. Some programs are low cost or free when you qualify.

Addiction Treatment Programs

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 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.

LGBTQ-friendly rehab in Massachusetts offers programs targeted to the unique experiences within this diverse community. Staff specialists understand that an environment promoting acceptance makes it easier for people to open up and focus on healing.

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.

Intensive Outpatient Program

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.

Detox & MAT

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.

Payment Options

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.

Medicaid Accepted

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.

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 policies 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-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.

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 option provides access to all levels of care. To qualify for this treatment discount, you must complete an application and provide supporting financial documentation.
