Regular substance-use counseling services with our licensed mental health professionals are available to those with any type of substance use disorder or other addictive behaviors. This can include individual and group counseling, as well as couples and family therapy.

This is for clients regardless of MAT participation.

For individuals with addictions to opioids desiring more short-term methadone treatment, we offer a six-month methadone program, where an initial stabilizing dose is administered followed by gradual, medically-supervised detoxification over a period of 180 days to reduce the physiological need for opioids. This includes daily dosing, random drug-testing, as well as weekly group and counseling.

For those who have successfully completed our MOUD programs, we offer continued counseling services for up to six months as aftercare. 

We offer recovery coaching as part of a grant funded by the MA Dept. of Public Health - Bureau of Substance Addiction Services (BSAS) and the Substance Abuse & Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA). 

All new clients are asked to complete an orientation workshop, during which clients will review our respective programs' policies and procedures and be offered education on HIV/AIDS and infectious disease control, as well as overdose prevention. 

We offer buprenorphine (Subutex) for those with addictions to opioids in need of MOUD where methadone may not be necessary. This would require daily dosing and random drug-testing and includes access to weekly counseling. 

This is similar but not the same as Suboxone. Please call first to inquire about the medication's availability.

We offer naltrexone (Vivitrol) treatment for the treatment of opioid use disorders. It is an extended-release medication, blocking the pleasurable effects associated with opioids. This allows the medication to be administered on a monthly basis, as opposed to the daily dosing requirements of our methadone and buprenorphine programs. Weekly counseling is included and groups may be available, as well.

Now Offering Sublocade. Like Buprenorphine, Sublocade is used in adults to treat moderate to severe opioid use disorder. Sublocade helps manage cravings and withdrawal symptoms without needing a daily dose.

​

This is administered as a shot, and lasts 30 days.

Medication-Assisted Treatment (MAT) is the use of medications, in combination with counseling and behavioral therapies, to treat substance use disorders. MAT is a comprehensive approach that addresses both the physical and psychological aspects of addiction, aiming to help individuals achieve and sustain recovery.
