About Us

Addiction Treatment Center of New England (ATCNE)— or just ATC for short—was founded in 1980 and has been in operation since then, at our same location, serving the Boston and Greater Boston community for over forty years.

Started initially as an outpatient methadone clinic—a service we still provide to this day—ATCNE has since expanded our substance use services to include other types of medication for opioid use disorders, like naltrexone (Vivitrol), buprenorphine (Subutex), as well as non-medication-assisted treatment options, like individual and group counseling sessions.
