About Spectrum Health Systems Outpatient Treatment
Spectrum Health Systems Outpatient Treatment is a part of the largest provider of New England’s substance abuse treatment programs. Spectrum Health Systems offers a comprehensive continuum of care for adults struggling with addiction issues. At this location in Waltham, Massachusetts, you’ll find outpatient addiction counseling paired with medication assisted treatment (MAT).
Increase Motivation and Heal From Addiction
When you choose to attend treatment at Spectrum Health Systems, licensed clinicians will help you increase your motivation and lead you through active participation therapy sessions. Therapy will be individual and group sessions and will cover topics like overdose and relapse prevention skills. I found that the other lectures and workshops will help you learn about cravings, anger management, parenting skills, and interpersonal relationships. You’ll receive a continuing care plan while attending treatment to ensure a smooth transition when you finish the program.
The intensive outpatient program (IOP) includes two groups and one brief individual therapy session each day. The minimum time spent in this program is three weeks. Family sessions are added to this program to make it a holistic treatment experience.
Rapid Access to Medications and Counseling for Recovery
One important thing I wanted to note about Spectrum is that they offer same-day admission for the opioid treatment program. You must be 12 hours drug-free before being admitted. You’ll receive a clinical assessment and eval and medical monitoring.
In MAT, you’ll receive an individualized treatment plan with counseling and psychoeducation. Vivitrol and methadone are used to help with uncomfortable withdrawal symptoms and to reduce drug cravings.
Former clients mention that they didn’t have the best experiences with staff at Spectrum Health Systems. Other people mentioned that the clinic is clean and that they appreciated short wait times. It’s also cool that they’re within driving distance to local amenities like Cat Rock Park where you can stretch your legs for a bit.
