About Lawrence Memorial Hospital of Medford
Lawrence Memorial Hospital of Medford, located in Medford, Massachusetts is a community hospital within the Tufts Medicine system. They provide outpatient dual diagnosis mental health and substance use disorder treatment as part of their wider mental health services.
They accept Medicaid and Medicare along with private insurance plans, and patients are encouraged to verify their insurance coverage before making appointments. They also accept self payment methods and the hospital has financial assistance programs for those who qualify based on income.
Comprehensive Dual Diagnosis Support for Adults and Seniors
They have dedicated units for geriatric patients who are experiencing dual diagnosis, but mental health and substance use disorder treatment is available to all adult patients and not just to seniors 65 and over. As part of their Geriatric Medical Psychiatric Program, they help patients who are dealing with mental health conditions like depression, psychosis and dementia. I’m impressed by their comprehensive outpatient services, including counseling, medication management, and structured addiction support.
Collaborative and Personalized Care for Co Occurring Disorders
Their special emphasis on personalized care stands out to me. Their skilled, multidisciplinary team of doctors, nurses, therapists and social workers is dedicated to collaborating with patients to help them set personal goals and draw on their individual strengths in the recovery process. Family involvement is encouraged as well, especially for those patients who are minors.
Addiction Treatment Programs
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.
Levels of Care
As the most intensive treatment setting, inpatient drug rehab in Massachusetts treatment involves 24/7 supervised 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.
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.
