About West End Clinic
West End Clinic is a Massachusetts General Hospital program in Boston for adults experiencing substance abuse and mental health conditions.
The team uses proven approaches like psychodynamic therapy and mindfulness-based approaches. Embedded within the hospital's Department of Psychiatry the clinic integrates medical, psychiatric and family care to support lasting recovery.
Medication-Assisted Recovery
I noticed that the clinic offers comprehensive outpatient evaluation, individualized treatment planning, psychiatric assessment and medication management for substance use disorders.
Medication options include naltrexone, acamprosate, disulfiram, topiramate, Vivitrol injections and Suboxone, alongside a dedicated Vivitrol clinic and structured Suboxone pathway.
Patients can access a structured Intensive Outpatient Program, including a Suboxone-specific track that combines medication induction with frequent treatment contact and ongoing weekly Suboxone Recovery Group participation.
Care addresses both addiction and underlying psychiatric needs through a coordinated, multidisciplinary model.
Family and Peer Support Programming
Beyond individual counseling I am impressed that West End Clinic offers a broad menu of group therapy, including relapse prevention, DBT for substance use, women's recovery, harm reduction and continuing-care groups.
Family-focused options include couples therapy, a Family Support Group, a Parenting Group and Paired Recovery, a clinician-initiated peer-support program.

Levels of Care
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.
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.
