About The Dimock Center

Located in Boston, Massachusetts, is The Dimock Center’s Health Services Center. This is a comprehensive healthcare facility that serves adults and adolescents. There are specialized programs if you have a behavioral health struggle or need support for a substance use addiction. Care is offered in an outpatient (OP) setting and there's medication assisted treatment (MAT) available. If you need more robust care, you can get referred to one of their affiliate residential programs or inpatient detox center.

If you're suffering from a substance use disorder, you'll find compassionate and comprehensive care here. The care team here will evaluate if there are any underlying behavioral health concerns that will need to be treated as well. Identifying these will allow you to begin moving toward a healthier future.

The services that are offered here include outpatient addiction treatment in the form of counseling and peer support. I like that they offer various groups on topics such as parenting, relapse prevention, dual diagnosis and anger management. Through counseling, you'll learn specific strategies and techniques that can help you work through your issues. They’ll teach you skills to help you move towards a sober future.

A structured outpatient addiction program runs five days a week for 3.5 hours each day. You’ll generally be in this program for 3-6 weeks.

This clinic also provides court mandated substance abuse evaluations. This type of treatment is effective in helping manage cravings that occur during recovery. By managing these cravings, you'll be able to focus on building critical skills so that you can achieve sobriety.

Benefits include a higher staff-to-client ratio, increased one-on-one time with therapists and healthcare providers, private rooms for clients, and customized forms of therapy.

Residential Setting

Residential drug rehab provides the comforts of home with the therapeutic support needed to successfully recover. Benefits of an inpatient program include increased safety, a higher success rate, and the time and distance given to focus on recovery. Residential drug rehabs are often the preferred method of treatment, as they can be tailored to meet specific needs, offer focused therapeutic care, and provide the necessary tools to sustain recovery.

Private Rooms

In order to maintain a sense of autonomy, many private rehab facilities offer clients the ability to choose their own private rooms. The privacy and personal space ensure that the recovery process is as comfortable as possible.

Addiction Treatment Programs

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.

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.

Drug Rehab

Addiction is a highly complex problem, and drug rehab in Massachusetts is often necessary to address it. These programs treat physical, mental, and relational issues that are involved. Treatment empowers individuals to manage these issues without the use of drugs.

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.

Assertive Community Treatment (ACT)

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

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.

Aftercare & Alumni Program

Aftercare rehab in Massachusetts gives you continued access to support after rehab. You may need assistance with job coaching, budgeting, education, or accountability as you re-enter your life. Aftercare programs provide these supports, so you can face challenges and maintain a sober lifestyle long-term.

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.

Sober Living

In Massachusetts sober living, you will take on more responsibility than rehab treatment requires. You’ll pay rent and work or attend school. You’ll also contribute to household chores. The goal is to learn how to live independently, free from drugs and alcohol.

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.

Accreditations

Joint Commission: Yes

Insurance

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.

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.
