About Daniel Driscoll – Neponset Health Center

The Daniel Driscoll’s Neponset Health Center is a branch of Harbor Health located in Boston, Massachusetts. They offer personalized outpatient treatment for people living with substance use disorder.

Outpatient treatment services take a whole-person approach and include behavioral healthcare interventions, like group and individual therapy, as well as medication monitoring and treatment of other medical concerns. Medication assisted treatment is also available, where you’re given medication that helps curb your cravings and withdrawal symptoms, while also getting the behavioral therapy you’ll need to break free of the cycle of addiction. A real plus point is that it’s coordinated with dental care to help restore your smile, which can unfortunately be affected by long-term substance use.

Support from the Neponset Health Center goes beyond therapy and medication. They also help clients get back on their feet and back into the community with food, transport, housing, and other life issues, so they can lead a healthy and independent life.

One great thing is that Medicaid and most other insurance plans are accepted. For clients without insurance, discounts are available on a sliding fee scale based on family income and size.

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.

medically-assisted-detox iconMedically Assisted Detox

Medically supervised detox is the process of removing addictive substances from your body and managing the withdrawal symptoms in a medically supervised environment. Typically, this is the first step in the recovery process and lasts an average of 5-7 days, though the length can vary depending on your individual needs. Once your system is cleared of alcohol and drugs, you'll likely transition to an inpatient treatment program for the next phase of your recovery.

My experience has been exceptionally positive. I had the privilege of being treated by Dr. Richard Lubens, who demonstrated remarkable kindness and dedication. He generously invested time in my care and exhibited great patience. Additionally, during my visit to the Woman s Health Consultation, I encountered an equally compassionate Registered Nurse Practitioner (RNP), whose name unfortunately escapes me. It surprises me that there are negative comments, as I have yet to encounter anyone who wasn t kind to me. The lab technician was really nice too.

Extremely rude and inconsiderate, I travelled on the T for over an hour to get to my gynecology appointment, had to reschedule even though I called ahead to let them know I was running late twice. They never transferred me to the department to confirm anything. When I arrived they told me I needed to reschedule even though I was only 5-10 mins off from their 15 min grace period. Most places have a 30 min grace period. Told them I'd even wait for a different provider and was told "that doesn't work". Gynecologist I had there in the past is very condescending as well. Never coming here again, already considered changing over since I moved but after this I certainly won't be back.

I know a lot of people have left bad reviews for Neponset Health Center, but I have to say I ve had nothing but a fantastic experience at the Women s Health Center. So far I have only visited the Women s Health Center (I have not had other medical needs in the 2 years I ve been a patient at NHS) but the nurses and staff are warm, compassionate, and professional. My midwife is Raquel Vargas Vila and she is fantastic. All the nurses at the Women s Health Clinic are also great- I highly recommend Alison Foley in particular. They have a great team at NHC and have supported me through the pregnancy and delivery of my first child, numerous illnesses, and more!! I highly recommend the NHC Women s Health Center!!

Been going here my entire life, literally no problem. Don t understand the other reviews. They seem recent which would make sense because everyone is understaffed because of covid.I was able to schedule 2 appointments one for blood and check up within a week prior. Everyone is nice fast and efficient.If you communicate what you want you will get what you want, just like a barbershop.

If i could give this place zero stars, i would. Where do i begin, I went in for my physical this past June, i put physical in quotation because they all did was take my weight and height, then the doctor left without giving a full examine. When leaving i had book an other physical with a complete different pcp.Then, i had an appointment to get my mmr vaccine 2 months ago. they did NOT give me my mmr shot. they said it wasn t in my notes. Which is weird bc that s the only reason why i went. I later found out they canceled my 2nd dose appointment. I had previously informed them that i desperately need both doses due to the requirement of my job (i work with newborn/ infant). I called them to try and reschedule and they said i would need to wait until after september 25. Which i completely understand things happen and staff shortage. But this is completely neglectful.Not to mention every time you call to reschedule they are utterly rude and disrespectful. I have never in my life have seen such an unorganized health care office. There has been more incidents with this office than i can count on my fingers.

I can't even begin to tell you how disappointing this place is without being unprofessional. I am shocked to see something that was once so valuable to the community provide the absolute worst healthcare maybe because the govt has control not sure. It's very difficult to find a dr taking new patients but do you and your family a favor try somewhere else until they improve .I hope there are board members to take an interest in the comments

I wanted to make an appointment to see my primary doctor , but she is not available by that time I want , so said said if I can see another doctor but they sent me to a nurse practitioner. I needed a prescription and after she met with me, she informed me that she was not able to write prescriptions and I would have to see my primary. Why waste my time and co pay if I couldn t get my prescription written by a nurse practitioner. Then they said my meds might not be covered by insurance anyways and has side affect and if I wanted to see a dietitian instead. If it s a prescription I need, then I don t mind paying out of pocket. It s my choice( they are not even give a chance ) What a waste of my day and money today!
