About MA is Edward P. Boland Dept of Veterans Affairs Medical Center

The Edward P. Boland Department of VA Medical Center is a comprehensive medical facility providing care to veterans, active military and their relatives that’s located in Leeds, Massachusetts. It’s a part of the Greater Central Western Massachusetts Health Care VA network. While specific details of the substance abuse program at the Leeds facility aren’t outlined, the VA does offer a robust range of substance use disorder treatments. They’re open 24/7, but referrals are required.

MAT Managed Detox

The VA can help you with detoxing. Specifically, they offer medication assisted treatment (MAT) to safely reduce your substance consumption while also preventing harsh withdrawal symptoms. I noticed that this also includes managing opioid detox as well.

Immersive Counseling and Therapy

Beyond simply helping you get sober, the VA also offers a wide range of behavioral health counseling methods. Along with self-help groups to individual, group, and family counseling, there are also special programs for specific veteran concerns including women veterans, returning to combat veterans, and homeless veterans. I also appreciated that the VA manages dual diagnosis situations such as how depression or PTSD can trigger substance or alcohol abuse.

Additional Care

While you’ll need to contact a patient care advocate to confirm it’s available at the Leeds location, the VA does provide residential and continuing care if necessary. Along with TRICARE, the VA does accept Medicare, Medicaid and private insurance.

Levels of Care

Detox & MAT

The first step to a drug-free future is detox. This involves slowly and safely ridding your body of all addict...ive substances, under 24/7 supervision. This is typically the initial phase of drug rehab in Massachusetts.

Inpatient Rehab

As the most intensive treatment setting, inpatient drug rehab in Massachusetts treatment involves 24/7 supervi...sed 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.

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.

Aftercare & Alumni Program

Aftercare rehab in Massachusetts gives you continued access to support after rehab. You may need assistance wi...th 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.

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.
