Medical briefcase icon Levels of Care

outpatient iconOutpatient

Outpatient Programs (OP) are for those seeking mental rehab or drug rehab, but who also stay at home every night. The main difference between outpatient treatment (OP) and intensive outpatient treatment (IOP) lies in the amount of hours the patient spends at the facility. Most of the time an outpatient program is designed for someone who has completed an inpatient stay and is looking to continue their growth in recovery. Outpatient is not meant to be the starting point, it is commonly referred to as aftercare.

check iconDual Diagnosis

Many of those suffering from addiction also suffer from mental or emotional illnesses like schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, depression, or anxiety disorders. Rehab and other substance abuse facilities treating those with a dual diagnosis or co-occurring disorder administer psychiatric treatment to address the person's mental health issue in addition to drug and alcohol rehabilitation.

mental-health iconMental Health

Mental health rehabs focus on helping individuals recover from mental illnesses like bipolar disorder, clinical depression, anxiety disorders, schizophrenia, and more. Mental health professionals at these facilities are trained to understand and treat mental health issues, both in individual and group settings.

inpatient-file iconCognitive Behavioral Therapy

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a therapy modality that focuses on the relationship between one's thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. It is used to establish and allow for healthy responses to thoughts and feelings (instead of unhealthy responses, like using drugs or alcohol). CBT has been proven effective for recovering addicts of all kinds, and is used to strengthen a patient's own self-awareness and ability to self-regulate. CBT allows individuals to monitor their own emotional state, become more adept at communicating with others, and manage stress without needing to engage in substance abuse.

couples-therapy iconCouples Therapy

Whether a marriage or other committed relationship, an intimate partnership is one of the most important aspects of a person's life. Drug and alcohol addiction affects both members of a couple in deep and meaningful ways, as does rehab and recovery. Couples therapy and other couples-focused treatment programs are significant parts of exploring triggers of addiction, as well as learning how to build healthy patterns to support ongoing sobriety.

medical-detox iconExperiential Therapy

Experiential therapy is a form of therapy in which clients are encouraged to surface and work through subconscious issues by engaging in real-time experiences. Experiential therapy departs from traditional talk therapy by involving the body, and having clients engage in activities, movements, and physical and emotional expression. This can involve role-play or using props (which can include other people). Experiential therapy can help people process trauma, memories, and emotion quickly, deeply, and in a lasting fashion, leading to substantial and impactful healing.

family iconFamily Therapy

Research clearly demonstrates that recovery is far more successful and sustainable when loved ones like family members participate in rehab and substance abuse treatment. Genetic factors may be at play when it comes to drug and alcohol addiction, as well as mental health issues. Family dynamics often play a critical role in addiction triggers, and if properly educated, family members can be a strong source of support when it comes to rehabilitation.

intervention iconGroup Therapy

Group therapy is any therapeutic work that happens in a group (not one-on-one). There are a number of different group therapy modalities, including support groups, experiential therapy, psycho-education, and more. Group therapy involves treatment as well as processing interaction between group members.

mental-health iconIndividual Therapy

In individual therapy, a patient meets one-on-one with a trained psychologist or counselor. Therapy is a pivotal part of effective substance abuse treatment, as it often covers root causes of addiction, including challenges faced by the patient in their social, family, and work/school life.

nicotine iconNicotine Replacement Therapy

Nicotine Replacement Therapy (NRT) is a way of getting nicotine into the bloodstream without smoking. It uses products that supply low doses of nicotine to help people stop smoking. The goal of therapy is to cut down on cravings for nicotine and ease the symptoms of nicotine withdrawal.

Nutrition Therapy

Nutrition therapy, aka medical nutrition therapy (MNT), is a way of treating physical, emotional, and medical conditions through diet. Specific dietary plans are designed by professional nutritionists or registered dietitians, and patients follow them in order to positively affect their physical and mental health.

house-medical iconTrauma Therapy

Trauma therapy addresses traumatic incidents from a client's past that are likely affecting their present-day experience. Trauma is often one of the primary triggers and potential causes of addiction, and can stem from child sexual abuse, domestic violence, having a parent with a mental illness, losing one or both parents at a young age, teenage or adult sexual assault, or any number of other factors. The purpose of trauma therapy is to allow a patient to process trauma and move through and past it, with the help of trained and compassionate mental health professionals.

I d give no stars if I could, waited an hour to just be brought back into the exam room, and waiting another 20-25 mins and no provider came in. I left without being seen because I honestly could ve found better things to do with my time. Absolutely terrible experience and the flow of patient care is sad. Don t go here if you can.

My doctor is great. The reception is a nightmare. The staff clearly have no training in customer service, generally they are rude, dismissive and keep you waiting for a long time before acknowledging ones' existence. For some it's already a stressful situation. Please train your staff!

I'm gonna have to look for some other place this place Is ridiculous. They need to find some reliable workers to work the phones cause they don't even answer them. And then make your appointments. I'm glad I called before they didn't even they cancelled it without telling me. They get no stars from me. So now they won't post my review if I don't press the stars. I press one star and they all light up. Like I said No Stars.

Place is a nightmare my mouth is always infected so I go and get antibiotics before having anything done normally.. so I did that got 7 days of antibiotics came back next week to have 4 teeth pulled except I got an abscess from when they took x rays and poked and proded on the initial appointment, so the dentist and I agreed the novice probably wouldn't work and i wouldnt want 4 holes and an access at the same time so wait another 7 days and take another round of meds.. OK sure now the CVS troubles start they took 6 hours to send it to a CVS I've never Been to or spoken of the first time and the second time they forgot for an entire day so I called the next day and the doctor or whoever had some whole new story or confused me with someone else and said he didn't prescribe me anything smh. So come next week I would be 7 days with no antibiotics and the novicane deffinetly wouldn't work so I had to cancel the appointment I've always had bad teeth ive dealt with this many times before ,I will not go through having an infected mouth trying to have teeth pulled with novicane that's ineffective like it's was 1800 and Ben Franklin was my dentist

People beware It should be called a health stop. Primary Care Doctor in the location of the former Burbank Hospital in Fitchburg mass POOR call center ive had to wait an hour yes an hour on hold to leave a message to the office.They don t call their patients back even after found medical results sitting to be looked at and singed of by the real doctor. You have to keep going in for every little thing and a limited time in office. They refer you off to the ER if it s anything over putting a Band-Aid on and forget about any help in anyway for kidney stones! Or anything internal. Sadly again I am back looking for a new doctor!

My girlfriend went in for a check up and to meet her physician for the first time, she has been waiting an hour between the waiting room and for her doctor to go see her at her room. Seems like an awful lot of time wasting going on.

I would give 0 stars if I could r.e., the dental dept of CHC. I don't know how many times I called to get dental care, but either the phone wasn't answered, I was hung up on, or when I left a message for a call back - that never occurred. I finally drove to the Fitchburg office, spoke to the receptionist (in person) r.e., dental care. I did not mention the phone issues and was very pleasant - I wasn't about to put my dental care in jeopardy when I thought I still might go there. Well, I should have expressed my dissatisfaction at that time. The receptionist was totally disinterested. I was given a LENGTHY application to be seen there, which I dutifully filled out while I was up there, and handed back to receptionist. She informed me that I would be placed on a waiting list, and would be called. Well, 2 or 3 months have gone by, and I have heard NOTHING. I could understand if it was swarming with patients and they had no openings. But from what I witnessed, it seemed like there was no one around, except for one gentleman looking for care (who was told about the application and waiting list)and just left, and the receptionist. What a horrible experience!! And I didn't even get seen (which after reading the reviews, is probably a blessing)!
