What addiction treatment is available?
Jamaica Plain provides standard outpatient substance use care, 24 hour residential treatment and an opioid treatment program with methadone and Suboxone options.

I want to note that the residential program also addresses homelessness, mental health and unemployment through education, transitional housing and job counseling.
Who can get help here?
Care is designed for adult Veterans that face concerns from unhealthy alcohol use to severe substance use disorder.
The campus supports mental health conditions like PTSD and anxiety, depression and trauma with specialized programs for returning Veterans, women Veterans and those affected by military sexual trauma.
Where is the medical center located?
The campus sits at 150 South Huntington Avenue and at the intersection of South Huntington Avenue and Heath Street in Jamaica Plain.
I think it's great that amenities include free parking and wheelchairs, chapels and no cost temporary lodging at Huntington House for Veterans traveling more than 50 miles.
What are the payment options?
As a VA facility, costs depend on enrollment and eligibility, priority group and service connected status, and some Veterans have no copay.
Options include TRICARE and private insurance, self pay and free treatment as possible options.
Amenities
Private drug rehab provides a comfortable, secure environment that allows you to focus on doing the work to get your life back on track. 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 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.

Levels of Care
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.
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.
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.
