About Community Healthlink, Inc.

Community Healthlink, Inc. is a nonprofit behavioral health and substance use treatment provider in Worcester, Massachusetts offering a broad continuum of addiction and mental health care.

This UMass Memorial Health affiliate provides detox and community crisis stabilization, outpatient counseling and residential recovery programs.

As the designated Community Behavioral Health Center for Worcester County North and Central regions, I appreciate how the organization integrates clinical treatment with recovery housing, peer support and crisis services.

Addiction Programs and Detox

Many clients begin with medically supervised detox for alcohol, benzodiazepines or opioids, followed by Community Crisis Stabilization offering up to 30 days of intensive post detox support.

Additional pathways include office based addiction treatment for opioid recovery and transitional support services.

Clients can expect therapy, psychiatric consultation and medication management, along with peer support and recovery coaching.

I think it's noteworthy that specialized residential programs serve women, mothers in recovery with their children and adults with co-occurring mental health needs.

Adult Program

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.

Alcoholism

Most alcohol rehab in Massachusetts consists of individual counseling and group therapy sessions, which address mental and emotional concerns that are contributing to alcohol use. Treatment helps participants make changes to maintain sobriety and prevent relapse.

Levels of Care

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.

Inpatient Rehab

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.

Detox & MAT

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.

Drug & Alcohol Intervention

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.

Payment Options

Self-Pay Options

If you prefer to take control of the cost of your treatment, you can opt to pay for it yourself through self-pay options, also known as private pay. This option provides access to all levels of care — from detox to inpatient rehabilitation — because you’re not limited by the rules of insurers or state-run programs.

Private Insurance

If you have private insurance, you can use it to help cover the cost of treatment. Most rehab insurance policies tend to have different coverage rates and costs that policyholders are responsible for paying, so check with your insurer for detailed information.

Medicaid Accepted

If you're in need of financial assistance, MassHealth may be an option for you. MassHealth can help pay for all levels of care, including detox and inpatient rehabilitation.

Financial Aid

If you're struggling to pay for treatment, financial aid may be a solution for you. This can provide access to all levels of care. Financial assistance options include grants, scholarships, non-profit programs, personal funding, and health insurance programs to help you manage the expense of substance abuse treatment.

Medicare Accepted

As a resident of Massachusetts with MassHealth Senior Care Options, you may have coverage options to help with the cost of treatment. The amount of coverage will depend on many things, including whether you are seeking inpatient or outpatient treatment for substance abuse.

Sliding Scale Payment

If you can't pay the full cost of treatment, a sliding scale payment plan may be a solution for you. This option provides access to all levels of care. To qualify for this treatment discount, you must complete an application and provide supporting financial documentation.

TRICARE

Administered by the Department of Defense, TRICARE offers comprehensive military health insurance plans for active and retired military members and their families. Similar to PPO programs offered by private insurance companies, TRICARE covers multiple levels of care for addiction treatment, including detox, inpatient rehab, and outpatient services.

Payment Plans & Financing

For those who are underinsured or uninsured, paying the total cost of a rehab program up front is not feasible. Fortunately, many alcohol and drug rehabs make financing available to potential clients through private loans, in-house payment plans, or partner lenders. You can choose a finance package that lets you start treatment immediately and pay for it later.
