According to the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA), nearly 38.1 million adults in the United States aged 18 or older with a substance use disorder (SUD) didn’t receive treatment in 2024. Only 19.3% of individuals aged 12 or older received the help they needed. This highlights a significant national treatment gap.
In Massachusetts, an estimated 17.1% of the population aged 12 or older has a substance use disorder (SUD), ranking the state 21st nationwide. Despite having one of the highest rates of individuals seeking treatment in the country, a substantial number of people remain without the healthcare and resources they need to heal and recover.
At Addiction Treatment Center of New England (ATCNE) in Brighton, Massachusetts, we offer a comprehensive range of programs to meet individuals wherever they are in their recovery journey. Our tiered approach addresses every stage of care, from MAT and stabilization to outpatient treatment and long-term support.
Recovery is best approached through a continuum of care. Depending on the severity of the substance use disorder and the individual’s unique needs, our rehab center offers a range of treatment programs that can stand alone or serve as progressive steps in a complete recovery plan. Whether you need (or a loved one needs) structured, hands-on care or a flexible outpatient schedule, our team provides the guidance and resources necessary for lasting recovery.
There is no single cause of addiction. It develops from a combination of risk factors that may include:
- Family history and/or genetic predisposition
- Early exposure to drugs or alcohol
- Easy access to substances
- Past trauma, neglect, or abuse
- Untreated mental health conditions
- Unstable or stressful home environments
Many people struggling with addiction feel trapped or hopeless, but recovery is possible. At the Addiction Treatment Center of New England in Brighton, MA, we help individuals break free from substance use by addressing both the physical and psychological roots of addiction. Through evidence-based therapies, medical care, and ongoing support, lasting recovery becomes a realistic and achievable goal.
Addiction Treatment is Essential for Recovery
Many individuals begin using drugs or alcohol as a form of self-medication to manage stress or emotional pain. While this may bring temporary relief, it ultimately deepens dependence and prevents true healing.
At the Addiction Treatment Center of New England, we recognize the close relationship between addiction and mental health. Our integrated treatment approach addresses both substance use and underlying psychological challenges through personalized, compassionate care.
Whether the person is struggling with addiction to alcohol, opioids, cocaine, methamphetamine, or prescription medications, our programs are designed to treat the whole person, not just the symptoms, so patients can achieve long-term recovery and improved well-being.
Comprehensive Levels of Care
Barriers to behavioral healthcare (such as limited program availability, strict eligibility requirements, and financial constraints) often prevent people from accessing effective treatment. At the Addiction Treatment Center of New England in Brighton, MA, we’re dedicated to bridging this gap by providing access to comprehensive, evidence-based addiction treatment programs tailored to meet the diverse needs of our patients.
Our programs are designed to support individuals at every stage of recovery. Whether someone requires medication-assisted treatment, ongoing therapy, and relapse prevention, ATCNE offers a continuum of care that combines clinical expertise with compassionate support. We prioritize accessibility and flexibility, ensuring that people from all backgrounds and circumstances can receive the help they need.
By integrating individualized treatment plans, therapeutic services, and resources for long-term recovery, Addiction Treatment Center of New England empowers patients to address the underlying causes of addiction and build a foundation for lasting wellness. Our team works closely with each person to create a path toward recovery that is safe, effective, and sustainable. This helps them regain control of their lives and achieve lasting sobriety.
Medicated-Assisted Treatment (MAT)
The Addiction Treatment Center of New England offers a comprehensive medication-assisted treatment (MAT) program designed to help individuals recover from opioid use disorder (OUD) and other forms of substance dependence. MAT helps reduce cravings, ease withdrawal symptoms, and support long-term stability.
Our Massachusetts rehab center provides a structured 180-day methadone-based detox, stabilization, and tapering program, allowing patients to safely and gradually transition toward sobriety under medical supervision.
By integrating FDA-approved medications such as methadone, Suboxone, and Sublocade (extended-release buprenorphine) with personalized counseling and therapeutic support, our holistic treatment approach targets the root causes of addiction. This comprehensive method addresses both the physical and emotional factors that contribute to substance use, helping patients to build a strong foundation for lasting recovery.
Our Addiction Treatment Programs
Our outpatient program provides continued care for individuals who have achieved stability but can still benefit from professional guidance. This program is ideal for patients balancing recovery with work, school, or family commitments.
Outpatient treatment typically includes counseling, group therapy, and ongoing relapse prevention education, ensuring that patients maintain accountability and connection as they reintegrate into daily life.
Many individuals struggling with addiction also face underlying mental health challenges, such as depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, or PTSD. Our dual diagnosis treatment program addresses both substance use and co-occurring mental health disorders simultaneously, ensuring a holistic and sustainable recovery.
By integrating clinical care, therapy, and medication management, we help patients understand the connection between mental health and addiction, empowering them to achieve balance and long-term wellness.
Recovery doesn’t end when treatment does. Our relapse prevention and aftercare programs offer ongoing support to help patients maintain their sobriety and continue their personal growth.
We focus on identifying triggers, developing healthy coping mechanisms, and building a strong community of peer and professional support. The Addiction Treatment Center of New England also offers sober living resources and alumni programs to promote accountability and connection after treatment.
