About North Charles, Inc.
North Charles, Inc. is a behavioral health organization in Cambridge, Massachusetts whose North Charles Institute for the Addictions (NCIA) provides adult outpatient opioid treatment.
Founded in 1971 and affiliated with the Harvard Medical School Department of Psychiatry at The Cambridge Hospital the program treats opioid use disorder and other substance use concerns.
They offer targeted treatment through methadone maintenance, counseling and medical care. NCIA emphasizes a small program model where you never feel like another number.
Outpatient Opioid Treatment in Cambridge
As one of Massachusetts' first Opioid Treatment Programs I found that NCIA serves around 300 adults with methadone maintenance, medically supervised withdrawal, toxicology screening, physical exams and individualized care planning.
Individual counseling is available in person, by Zoom or by phone along with group counseling and gender specific groups. These options help ensure you get the care you need without the hassle some clinics include.
Treatment uses a multidisciplinary team approach that addresses the physical, psychological, social, behavioral and spiritual aspects of recovery.
At this center you benefit from relapse prevention, harm reduction strategies, overdose prevention and NARCAN distribution.
Their services also include medication education and case management that connects you to additional medical and social services.
Specialized Care for Pregnant and Postpartum Clients
I found it offers inclusive treatment for a population some centers neglect.
NCIA includes a defined care pathway for pregnant and postpartum clients including trimester appointments, prenatal education and reproductive health coordination.
The team also supports postpartum medical director appointments as needed and guides families who are navigating recovery together.

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.
When you enter opioid rehab in Massachusetts, you’ll receive treatment in a supportive environment that encourages recovery. After successful withdrawal management, you’ll participate in a variety of evidence-based therapies that prepare you for long-term sobriety.
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.
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.
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.
You don’t have to be an expert on interventions to help an addicted loved one. Staff members offer intervention services in Massachusetts, providing support when planning and facilitating an intervention, connecting you with community resources, and helping with the development of your loved one's treatment plan.
