Levels of Care

Outpatient

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.

Partial Hospitalization Program

A partial hospitalization program (PHP), also known as day treatment, allows you to receive rehab-level care while living at home. PHP treatment requires a minimum of 20 hours of treatment each week for an average of 90 days. PHP treatment plans can vary depending on your needs but typically includes relapse prevention, medication management, and evidence-based therapies, such as cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), and dialectical behavior therapy (DBT). Most insurance providers fully or partially cover PHP treatment.

Medically Assisted Detox

Drug and alcohol addiction often takes a heavy toll on one's body. Over time, a physical dependence can develop, meaning the body physiologically needs the substance to function. Detox is the process of removing drugs and/or alcohol from the body, a process that can be lethal if mismanaged. Medical detox is done by licensed medical professionals who monitor vital signs and keep you safe, healthy, and as comfortable as possible as you go through detox and withdrawal.

Treatment

Alcoholism

The goal of treatment for alcoholism is abstinence. Those with poor social support, poor motivation, or psychiatric disorders tend to relapse within a few years of treatment. For these people, success is measured by longer periods of abstinence, reduced use of alcohol, better health, and improved social functioning. Recovery and Maintenance are usually based on 12 step programs and AA meetings.

Drug Addiction

Addiction is a highly complex problem, and drug rehab in Massachusetts is often necessary to address it. These programs treat physical, mental, and relational issues that are involved. Treatment empowers individuals to manage these issues without the use of drugs.

Dual 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.

Opioid Addiction

Opioid rehabs specialize in supporting those recovering from opioid addiction. They treat those suffering from addiction to illegal opioids like heroin, as well as prescription drugs like oxycodone. These centers typically combine both physical as well as mental and emotional support to help stop addiction. Physical support often includes medical detox and subsequent medical support (including medication), and mental support includes in-depth therapy to address the underlying causes of addiction.

Substance Abuse

Substance rehabs focus on helping individuals recover from substance abuse, including alcohol and drug addiction (both illegal and prescription drugs). They often include the opportunity to engage in both individual as well as group therapy.

Clinical Services

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy

During cognitive behavioral therapy in Massachusetts, clients work with a trained counselor to identify negative thinking patterns and change them. This change in thinking has been shown to lead to changes in behavior to treat substance use and mental health disorders effectively.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy

If you are experiencing intense, negative emotions, dialectical behavior therapy can help you learn how to regulate painful emotions and manage the interpersonal situations that generate them. This method is often used during substance use treatment in Massachusetts to help you develop better coping skills and avoid relapse.

Group 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.

Trauma 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.

Individual Therapy

Therapists in Massachusetts offer individual therapy in a confidential setting to help you explore the complex factors that have contributed to your drug addiction. Using a tailored approach, your therapist supports you and utilizes evidence based treatment modalities to help you develop healthier thought patterns and behaviors. This builds a foundation for enduring sobriety.

Family Therapy

During family therapy, the therapist works with every member of the family unit to understand the role they play in their loved one's addiction. By addressing these patterns, family members learn healthier ways to interact with each other and contribute to a more effective recovery journey for the family member who is addicted.

I went to the ER and was hospitalized there 2 years ago in May. The period of hospitalization was fine. The nurses and doctors were patient and helpful.However, the receptionist, a white old lady, was extremely rude. She yelled at me and then smiled flatteringly to a white couple. Definitely a racist. The nurse who handled my registration was rude as well.

Worst hospital ever!!!! I was in the emergency room for 2 freaking hours before a doctor decided to say that there one more paciente before me. I m in a crazy damn pain, and nurses are all around eating and talking about dates and parties. This place is disrespectful to people and you will hear from my lawer.Honestly? Go to CHA.

We went to Mt. Auburn Hospital, Emergency Dept. today. Everyone was so helpful, quite professional. The reception person, nurses and especially Dr. Ebbeling were great. She provided excellent care.

Just gave birth to my little boy and I can t say how appreciative I am of every single person who assisted me. Even when speaking to the phone operator I felt so much kindness and compassion. Literally the entire staff here at Mount Auburn is amazing and I will always remember how I was treated here. The nurses and mid wife s are dedicated to their roles. They are patient, compassionate, down to earth and trustworthy. I will always recommend this hospital, from being seen at the woman s center to being taken care of while giving birth I genuinely feel that this is one of the BEST hospital out there. Thank you so much to everyone who assisted me, I will never forget this amazing experience.

The below details a troubling experience my wife and I endured on April 2, 2024 at Mount Auburn Hospital. After our newborn baby's first pediatrician appointment, my wife and I were instructed to go get blood work.My wife and I arrived at Mount Auburn at approximately 10:45 am on April 2, 2024 with our six (6) day old baby. After waiting approximately one (1) hour, my wife asked the Mount Auburn phlebotomy technician what the estimated wait time was going to be. With attitude yet without answering the customary question posed, the technician looked at my wife and said "You know you don't have to do this blood work today." My wife informed the technician of the pediatrician s instruction. The technician then said to my wife, "You're his mother, you can make that call." Therefore placing my wife in a terrible state of guilt and confusion.My wife - who has just undergone an intense surgery - was absolutely shocked and distressed with the nasty attitude and unresponsive answers given. My wife began to cry in the middle of the waiting room. Other patients were shocked and spoke up to the technician and the other female phlebotomy technician working that day who was also not helpful.After waiting another twenty minutes, I went back up to the check in desk and asked again about when my newborn baby would be seen. My wife and I had observed other patients being taken in for blood work who had arrived and checked-in AFTER us. This observation was confirmed when I went up to speak with the technicians again at the check-in counter and saw the check-in paperwork and other patients being serviced before us. The technicians had to look backwards to find my baby's registration sticker. Again, without directly answering my question about timing, the other female technician said "We'll be right with you." After waiting another ten minutes, the female technician came out and placed a foot warmer on my baby's foot and said "we'll take him in ten minutes." This did not happen.Another thirty minutes went by without us being seen and having other patients being serviced before my newborn baby. During this additional thirty minute wait, other patients consoled me and my upset wife - even offering for us to take their "spots" in line. Additionally, the foot warmer was not activated and warm anymore defeating its intended purpose and use. I again went up to the check-in desk to ask about timing. The female technician with the nose ring was waiting on the telephone and opened the check-in window to address me. After pleading for my baby to be serviced so we could leave, this technician got flustered and waved me off with her hand. At this time, the other technician was shuffling paperwork by the fax machine and finally asked me for the pediatrician's blood work Order form. It was only at this time, after two hours of waiting, that this technician alleged that she could not find my baby's Order form from the pediatrician. Notwithstanding my personal suspicion and disbelief about this allegation, I handed her the tangible copy that the pediatrician gave me. I had been holding that Order form for two hours but was never asked for it by either of the technicians.I left Mount Auburn Hospital around 1:15 pm that day with a crying newborn baby and a distraught wife.I am extremely upset about this occurrence. At no point did either of the technicians treat me or my family in a professional manner. At no point did either of the technicians give us any status updates. At no point did either of the technicians sympathize or apologize for the wait. I don't know what is worse - making my wife feel guilty for following the pediatrician's direction to bring our son in for blood work OR having the technicians intentionally take other patients before us and making a newborn baby wait two hours for simply blood drawing. I believe that neither of the Mount Auburn technicians wanted to service a newborn baby. Instead, my wife and I were forced to unnecessarily expose my newborn baby to other patients coming and going from the hospital.

First visit in an American ER, the system is the worst that I have encounter. 3 hours waiting, no organization is a mess. 3 different doctors, same questions no solution. A waste of my time in an emergency situation. Expensive, bad services, no solutions.
