In Marblehead, Massachusetts, a six week Understanding Addiction and Recovery series returns October 20 for its third run.
The Marblehead Police Department and health department run it with the Swampscott Health Department. Families trying to learn a loved one’s addiction can use the series as a low pressure place to start.
A Series With Growing Demand
The program launched its six week series in February and a second run followed every other Thursday from early June through the end of July. The October return marks the third series in one calendar year, which suggests strong attendance and continued demand.
Who Can Attend
The series welcomes people affected by addiction in different ways. Parents may suspect a teenager is using drugs.
A spouse may not know how to talk with a partner and someone in recovery may want family members to better understand the process.
Neighbors can attend too with no registration fee or diagnosis standing between attendees and the program which makes the setting easier to approach than a clinical office.
How Education Can Lead to Treatment
Education events like this one give Rehabs.org readers something practical. Families who understand addiction and treatment can make clearer decisions when a crisis reaches their doorstep. A Tuesday night session in October could lead to a call to a detox center in November.
Money often enters the conversation quickly, free rehabs in Massachusetts exist but remain limited. Many families need to sort through payment assistance as well as Medicaid coverage and sliding scale programs.
Low cost rehabs across Massachusetts fills some of that gap. Residential treatment carries the highest cost.
