Medication-Assisted Treatment (MAT) |
Behavioral Health |
Methadone MaintenanceWe offer long-term methadone treatment for individuals with a lengthy history of addiction to opioids like heroin, fentanyl, and oxycodone. It includes daily dosing at our Brighton office, random drug-testing, as well as weekly group and counseling.
180-Day Program (outpatient methadone detoxification)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.
Buprenorphine / SubutexWe offer buprenorphine (Subutex) for those with addictions to opioids in need of MAT where methadone may not be necessary. This requires daily dosing, random drug-testing, and weekly counseling.
Naltrexone / VivitrolWe offer naltrexone (Vivitrol) treatment for the treatment of opioid and alcohol use disorders. It is an extended-release medication, blocking the pleasurable effects associated with opioids and alcohol. 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 required.
Telehealth Counseling ServicesGroup Therapy
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy |
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 can include individuals receiving MAT treatment from other providers or as a form of aftercare for those who have successfully completed MAT. Drug-Free CounselingFor those who have successfully completed our MAT programs, we offer continued counseling services for up to six months as aftercare.
Transitional Assistance to Treatment (TAT)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). This is through direct referral from partnered organizations like BMC's Faster Paths to Treatment and Project ASSERT and can include limited transportation assistance as well as referral to our MAT services.
Orientation & Health Education GroupsAll 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.
