About South Shore Mental Health

Aspire Health Alliance (formerly South Shore Mental Health) has an office in Braintree, Massachusetts. It’s a secluded center and is dedicated to mental health and addiction recovery services. Their integrated approach to outpatient healthcare is available to people of all ages and backgrounds.

What I admire most about Aspire Health Alliance is its dedication to bringing services to the individual outside the clinic. The Braintree location includes school based and community outreach services, so clients can get care in the settings they prefer.

Anyone seeking medication assisted treatment (MAT) for substance use disorder will find it here.

Services to Help with (or Prevent) Hospitalization

Aspire Health Alliance's Discovery Day Treatment program is uniquely designed for two purposes: to ease you into a lower level of care following hospitalization or to avoid an inpatient stay entirely. It's built around intensive outpatient services in a group setting.

Something I think that's overlooked in a program like this is its value in prompting socialization. It may seem uncomfortable to recover in a group at first, but if you take that step you may come to find that you aren't as alone on the journey as you think. It also gives you the chance to make meaningful relationships with others in recovery.

Much Needed Care Inside and Outside Appointments

The recovery process isn't always as smooth as we hope. For all of the progress we make in treatment, there's always a chance that some unexpected conflict can invite instability into our lives and risk undermining the changes we've made.

Crisis care with 24/7 availability like those offered by Aspire Health Alliance can be crucial to overcoming these obstacles. When you face a crisis, you won't be alone. They can come to you in your home or elsewhere in the community. They're also available in local hospital emergency rooms. Crisis teams work hard to assess and stabilize you fast and co develop a plan to get you back on the right path, including referrals to other services.

A Space to Connect with Your Peers

The Peer to Peer program complements professional treatment by bringing together people with the shared experience of addiction and recovery. It's a place where you can come to get advice from others or lend a hand yourself. It's also a great place to simply meet new people and socialize. Peer support is one of the pillars of relapse prevention, and the friends you make can play a long term role in your sobriety.

Aspire Health Alliance accepts many private insurance plans. You can also use Medicaid and Medicare plans to cover service costs.

Addiction Treatment Programs

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.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

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.

Senior Drug & Alcohol Rehab

Elderly rehab in Massachusetts addresses both addiction issues and common challenges faced by older adults. By dealing with grief, loss, social isolation, and financial uncertainty, participants are given tools to overcome addiction later in life.

Teen & Adolescent Program

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.

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.

Payment Options

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Accepted Insurance

South Shore Mental Health works with several private insurance providers and also accepts private payments when possible, please contact to verify your specific insurance provider.
