About Heywood Hospital

Heywood Hospital is a community owned hospital in Gardner, Massachusetts offering behavioral health services that address substance use and mental health needs. Located at 242 Green Street, the hospital provides inpatient and outpatient behavioral health care with an integrated and holistic approach. I appreciate how treatment focuses on the whole system—patient, family and community—through interdisciplinary collaboration and individualized care planning.

Supportive Addiction Treatment

Heywood Hospital's behavioral health services include both inpatient and outpatient programs designed to treat co-occurring substance use and mental health conditions. Clients begin with an integrated psychiatric and medical evaluation to assess needs and determine the appropriate level of care and treatment plan.

Treatment components include individual and group therapy and psychological testing, occupational therapy and social services to support families throughout recovery. I like that discharge and aftercare planning connect clients with community resources and ongoing support, and nutrition consultation and therapeutic support address the whole person during stabilization and recovery.

Addiction Treatment Programs

Adult Program Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

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.

Levels of Care

Inpatient Rehab

As the most intensive treatment setting, inpatient drug rehab in Massachusetts treatment involves 24/7 supervi...sed care. At this level of care, you typically participate in individual, group, and family therapy sessions, and you may receive medication and additional recreational therapies.

Detox & MAT

The first step to a drug-free future is detox. This involves slowly and safely ridding your body of all addict...ive substances, under 24/7 supervision. This is typically the initial phase of drug rehab in Massachusetts.

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.

Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP)

Partial hospitalization programs (PHPs) in Massachusetts provide many of the same treatment services as an inp...atient program, but you don’t have to stay overnight. PHPs often provide a bridge between inpatient and outpatient treatment.

Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP)

Aftercare & Alumni Program

Aftercare rehab in Massachusetts gives you continued access to support after rehab. You may need assistance wi...th 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.

Drug & Alcohol Intervention

You don’t have to be an expert on interventions to help an addicted loved one. Staff members offer intervent...ion 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.
