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.

Inpatient

Residential treatment programs are those that offer housing and meals in addition to substance abuse treatment. Rehab facilities that offer residential treatment allow patients to focus solely on recovery, in an environment totally separate from their lives. Some rehab centers specialize in short-term residential treatment (a few days to a week or two), while others solely provide treatment on a long-term basis (several weeks to months). Some offer both, and tailor treatment to the patient's individual requirements.

12-Step

Recovery models based on 12 step programs feature extensive peer coaching and emphasize personal growth as a key to sustained sobriety. Regular attendance at 12 step meetings, which are anonymous, free, and available daily, is expected. The 12 steps of recovery are based on spiritual principles and support participants in addressing the root causes of their disease, accept responsibility for their choices, and accept that which is beyond their control. Self-selected sponsors provide one-one-mentoring.

Intervention Services

A drug intervention in Massachusetts provides friends and family the opportunity to share how a person's substance use has caused problems in their lives. The goal of the intervention is to encourage the person to get the treatment they need. Most rehab facilities offer intervention services that can help families prepare for the intervention and facilitate entry into treatment if the person agrees to get help.

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.

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 Theraphy

Individual 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.

Motivational Interviewing

Four principles are key to motivational interviewing in Massachusetts. First, the therapist offers empathy for the client's feelings and experiences. Second, they encourage the client to believe in themselves and their ability to change. Third, the therapist refrains from imposing their own viewpoints. Lastly, the therapist helps the client identify discrepancies in their circumstances and future goals.

Trauma Therapy

Trauma therapy addresses the psychological impact of experiencing a traumatic event. You can also experience mental and emotional injury after witnessing a trauma. By identifying what triggers those responses and developing effective coping mechanisms, you can rebuild a sense of safety and trust in your environment.

Couples Therapy

Couples therapy in Massachusetts is a short term therapy designed to equip you both with the skills you need to address conflicts and challenges in your relationship. During sessions, your counselor may meet with you individually and together.

Highly corrupt business. Today i had a fraudulent landscaping company parked way to close to my car and I'd really like to know what happened today. This is not okay what so ever. I have to pay to go to classes for this will be filing a report with the bbb and city hall.

We're sorry to hear that you recently experienced some difficulty. Maureen will be following up with you to find out more and see how we can help.

Spectrum Health Services' PAVE Program, an IPAEP/CBP for domestic violence abusers, is a phenomenal program that helps domestic violence abusers on how to cope and better manage with various techniques on how to deal with anger management issues, violent tendencies and how to have & build better relationships with their partners/victims and all those affected by domestic violence. I highly and fully recommend to all who have been a domestic violence abuser, past or present, to partake in this vital & crucial program. If interested (and if not already court ordered), contact Maureen Casey here @ Spectrum to learn more about PAVE and other programs Spectrum has (specifically for anger management is one example). Mike & Faith administer the PAVE Program on a weekly basis. My group sessions are every Wednesday, from 430 to 630 pm for 40 weeks, start to finish. I wish all abusers the best of luck out there in getting the help we all so desperately need!

I absolutely love this place. They have helped me so much in my road to recovery. Super friendly and treat me like a human (because I am!!!!). I go to the 4 pm group on Weds often because it is my release now. Being around people who have been there or are there is such a huge thing. I have made a few good friends who have become a key support now. There are some bad apples but that happens anywhere. The staff helped push and show me a path to bettering myself and also inspired me to become a drug counselor as well. They see that I have the drive to help others who have been where I have and keep them from making similar choices and have encouraged me to further my education for this. Coming from someone who has been on both sides and can relate/understand is important. I'm so thankful to have found this place. They helped me get my life back!

I went there for about month and then my therapist left with out informing me. I got no phone call and had to keep calling spectrum to find out what happened. They told me they would call me back after they had a replacement. It's been over two months. How the program works if you've missed a month of therapy they have the right to stop services. So I feel like I have been given the run around. If your trying to take care of your mental health I suggest going to a different place. I am so disappointed in this experience. Spectrum was suppose to help.

Dear Ms. Agape, We are so sorry that your experience was difficult. We work hard to provide continuity of care. Unfortunately, Massachusetts is facing a shortage of qualified clinicians and a change in the healthcare system that has made it difficult for nonprofits to recruit staff. Our state leaders are working to provide supports to the behavioral health non profit community by offering assistance. That does not solve the issue of your experience, neither does it make it better for you. I just want you to understand that efforts are happening to make sure that every client who needs treatment receives it. I would welcome the opportunity to discuss your experience and to see if there is a way to help you get what you need whether it is here at Spectrum or with a referral to another provider. Please feel free to reach out to me at contactus@spectrumhealthsystems.org to discuss what you may need and where you are located.

This place is disgusting. I've been trying to get treatment for MONTHS but they turn me away every time. First time I went they aren't accepting walk ins that particular Wednesday. I call and make an appointment and go 5 minutes late and get turned away. They took my information so I go back but I lost my ID so I bring an old school ID, my social security card and birth certificate and they say they ID is too old. Disgusting customer service and atmosphere. Get treatment somewhere else. Everyone else I know from there has had problems as well. They should just close this place down. My counselor from rehab called before I tried to go and was shocked by how rude and how uninformed they were

Dear Mr. Atkinson, I am sorry to hear about your experience and would welcome the opportunity to get some details from you. We hope that you have been able to get into treatment. We do offer walk in same day service, however, the frequency and days are different at every site. I understand that time has passed. We just received permission to secure this website and to claim it in a way that we can respond to some of the comments. If you still need help we would like to offer that to you. Please feel free to email us at contactus@spectrumhealthsystems.org and we will respond promptly. - The Spectrum Management Team.
