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.
Financing available
If financing options are available, they can be a good way to pay for substance use treatment in Massachusetts. Financing allows you to spread out the cost of treatment over time or may help you get a lower fee. Options include payment plans, scholarships, grants, and medical loans.
Medicare
Medicare is a good way to pay for substance use treatment in Massachusetts. Medicare plans may vary, so be sure to find out coverage details and what copayments or deductibles you might be responsible for.
Military insurance
For those with military insurance, using your coverage to pay for treatment in Massachusetts can make rehab more accessible. Your insurance plan can pay for some or all of the costs of rehab, especially if you choose a center that’s in the plan’s network. Be sure to check with the insurer to get full details.

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.

Outpatient Rehab
Child and Family Services Pleasant Street provides outpatient addiction treatment through its Community Behavioral Health Center model, combining counseling, psychiatry, and care coordination for adults, adolescents, and families in New Bedford.

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.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy
People want to improve their situation but don’t always know how. Dialectical behavioral therapy in Massachusetts teaches you healthy coping mechanisms and improves your confidence so you can build a better life. DBT 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
The center provides family therapy alongside individual and group counseling, reflecting its trauma-informed, community-based approach to treating substance use and mental health needs across the South Coast region.

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.
