About Massachusetts General Hospital

Massachusetts General Hospital's Addiction Recovery Management Service is a hospital based addiction treatment provider in Boston, Massachusetts offering comprehensive care for substance use disorders. The program provides inpatient detoxification, outpatient treatment, and specialized medication assisted treatment for opioid and alcohol use disorders.

ARMS operates within a major academic medical center which I noted connects clients to a multidisciplinary team of psychiatrists, psychologists, social workers, and counselors with addiction expertise.

What programs and services does ARMS offer?

ARMS provides medically supervised inpatient detoxification and stabilization and outpatient counseling and treatment planning. Their Opioid Treatment Program offers methadone and uses Office Based Addiction Treatment to prescribe buprenorphine/naloxone (Suboxone) and naltrexone (Vivitrol).

I found their Bridge Clinic provides rapid low barrier access to treatment. The team also consults with Massachusetts General Hospital inpatient and outpatient units for clients who need more intensive addiction support.

Who can get help at ARMS?

The program serves clients struggling with opioid use disorder and alcohol use disorder. ARMS also provides care for co-occurring psychiatric and substance use disorders.

Levels of Care

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.
