About Justice Resource Institute
The Justice Resource Institute (JRI) operates multiple social programs and service clinics in Massachusetts. The Attleboro office provides outpatient mental health and substance use treatment to youth and young adults. They have a partial hospitalization program (PHP), home and community based services and a Driver Alcohol Education program.
The home and community services are a MassHealth (Medicaid) program. The PHP accepts multiple insurance plans, including MassHealth, Aetna, Optum, United Behavioral Health and others.
Home and Community Based Services in Attleboro
MassHealth provides access to behavioral health which encompasses both mental health and substance use. Behavioral health treatment always begins with a series of assessments so JRI can determine and address your specific needs. If you need care that’s not available at the Attleboro clinic, JRI can refer you to their Southeast Behavioral Health Center in Taunton, 30 minutes away.
The home and community behavioral health programs provide a treatment team that can help a youth client with evidence based therapy using dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) and trauma informed approaches.
In home therapy, delivered in the child’s home, school or other community location, helps families understand their internal dynamics and how that might impact their child’s behavior, and can treat more intensive behavioral health needs than the outpatient setting can. Being at home or in the community for treatment also allows coping strategies to be tested and practiced in real time.
Partial Hospitalization Care and Alcohol Education at JRI
The PHP provides treatment for adolescents ages 12 to 18 with mental health disorders, which may also include a co occuring substance use disorder. They have five sessions per day that last from 9 am to 3 pm. The program provides individual counseling, family support, psychiatric medication and case management.
Case management services may include helping older teens transition into independent adulthood with community resources for housing and employment, or it may include providing support for the families of younger clients.
Addiction Treatment Programs
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.
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.
For men who want to stop drinking or using drugs, men’s rehab in Massachusetts offers help and hope. These treatment programs, designed specifically for men, help participants recover and rebuild their lives.
Women who are seeking treatment for substance use disorders can receive various levels of care at women’s rehab in Massachusetts. Programs include detox, partial hospitalization programs (PHP), intensive outpatient programs (IOP), telehealth programs, sober living, outpatient, and aftercare.
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.
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.
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.
Assertive Community Treatment (ACT) is an integrative, community-based care strategy designed to address the needs of persons with severe and/or complex mental illness or behavioral disorders. ACT is typically provided by a multidisciplinary team of medical and mental health care providers, social workers, therapists, and other specialists, including addiction recovery professionals. These services are frequently provided in the home and community to clients in crisis, those who are clinically unstable, and those who are unable or unwilling to travel to a hospital or clinic for in-person treatment.
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.
