Addiction Treatment Programs

Dual Diagnosis
During dual diagnosis treatment in Massachusetts, you’ll receive integrated care for your mental health and substance use concerns, helping you establish long-term recovery. Dual diagnosis programs may offer detox, inpatient treatment, and/or outpatient care. The key is that they provide integrated treatment for both mental health symptoms and substance use.
Young Adult Rehab
Young adult rehab programs in Massachusetts can help young people make healthier life choices and avoid common mistakes. Some of the common services will include counseling and classes on coping skills, emotional management, communication, and other key life skills. Young adult programs can provide inpatient or outpatient treatment.
LGBTQ Friendly Rehab
If you’re looking for a safe space to work on your recovery as an LGBTQ+ person, consider finding an LGBTQ+ friendly rehab in Massachusetts. In addition to typical detox, inpatient treatment, and outpatient care, an LGBTQ+ friendly program may also provide classes about building healthy relationships, overcoming rejection, managing trauma triggers, and more.

Insurance Coverage

Medicaid
If you qualify in Massachusetts, Medicaid is one of your options when it comes to paying for rehab. Medicaid covers multiple levels of care, and you may have no out-of-pocket costs. However, you’ll need to choose a treatment center that accepts Medicaid.
Private insurance
Paying for rehab in Massachusetts can be done in multiple ways, including using private insurance. Because plans vary, be sure to contact the insurer to find out what centers are in-network with your coverage and to find out what out-of-pocket costs you might be responsible for.
Self-pay options
In Massachusetts, you can use self-pay, also known as private pay, to cover the costs of rehab. Payment structure may vary depending on the level of care, but you can use a medical loan, write a check, or send money electronically.
Financial aid
One way to pay for rehab in Massachusetts is to use financial aid programs if you qualify. Financial aid options help you manage the cost of treatment by allowing you to use a grant or scholarship. Aid may be available through the center or through community groups in your area.

Levels of Care

1
Inpatient Rehab
If you struggle with addiction in Massachusetts, inpatient care is one option for rehab. You’ll live full-time at the facility and focus fully on recovery. Inpatient treatment includes multiple approaches, including cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), motivational interviewing (MI), and holistic therapy options.

Therapies

Cognitive Behavior Therapy
Not everything we think is true or helpful. Cognitive behavioral therapy in Massachusetts teaches you to challenge distorted thinking so you can see things more clearly and choose healthier responses. CBT is a common part of both inpatient and outpatient substance use treatment and may be used to help with skill-building, overcoming problematic behavior, and managing substance use triggers.
Experiential Therapy
In Massachusetts, experiential therapy helps you express your emotions in non-traditional ways. This makes it much easier to reach long-term recovery. Experiential therapy involves a variety of activities that can make it easier to process trauma and emotions and allow you to break through some of the root issues that hold you back from recovery.
Family Therapy
During family therapy in Massachusetts, clients and their loved ones can address dysfunctional relationships, resentments, and conflicts in order to create healthier relationships that support the client’s recovery. Family therapy sessions generally last 60 to 90 minutes and may include discussing marital issues, codependency, grief, domestic violence, trauma, and other topics that impact families. The goal is to create healthier relationships that can support recovery.
Group Therapy
During group therapy in Massachusetts, each client has a chance to share their unique experiences and feelings about the discussion topic. This creates accountability and support. Group therapy is a common part of both inpatient and outpatient substance use treatment, and may be used to help with skill-building, processing, and to present educational information.
Individual Therapy
You’re not alone as you work through addiction in Massachusetts. Individual therapy gives you a professional who’s on your side to help you build a new life. Individual focuses on improving both behavioral and emotional health. You may explore thought processes, develop motivation to change, and/or explore past events that may have played a part in your substance use.
Trauma Therapy
During trauma-informed therapy in Massachusetts, you’ll be given the tools you need to manage your emotions and understand what happened in a healthier way. When you receive trauma-informed therapy, it may include peer support, grief counseling, medications to support mental health, and developing healthier responses to emotional triggers.
