About Spectrum Health Systems, Inc.
Spectrum Health Systems, Inc. in Worcester, MA, is LegitScript certified to provide addiction treatment to adults. So, those looking for help with overcoming drug or alcohol addiction can get the care they need at this center if what they need is help with medication management, outpatient counseling, or partner abuse education.
The unique, intimate partner abuse education program is specifically tailored to men. This program requires men to attend two-hour sessions over 40 weeks. During these classes, they learn to be better partners and identify and avoid violent and controlling behaviors. They learn this while receiving treatment for drug and alcohol addiction.
For men and women, another standout program at this facility is the medication management program offered in an outpatient setting. If you enroll in this program, you can expect to receive medications like Suboxone and Vivitrol. These help with managing withdrawal symptoms and cravings. During this program, you’ll also undergo physical exams and routine toxicology testing to ensure you remain on the path to sobriety and you’ll participate in weekly counseling.
If you don’t need medication assistance, you can still receive outpatient counseling at this center. Outpatient treatment is offered to individuals, groups, and families. You’ll learn the skills needed to maintain active recovery when enrolled in this program. You’ll also work with a professional to create a custom tailored drug or alcohol treatment plan that meets your exact substance abuse treatment needs.
However, you should know that the outpatient program requires a commitment of at least three weeks. So, if you’re not ready to dedicate your time to attending group and individual therapy sessions, you should consider a different level of care. The personnel at the center can help you determine the level that best suits your needs.

Levels of Care
Outpatient
Spectrum's outpatient counseling program serves adults and adolescents with substance abuse and/or mental health issues at various stages of recovery. Upon admission, a comprehensive intake evaluation is completed and used to develop an individualized treatment plan for each client. Based upon this plan, services are provided to address individual needs and teach clients the skills needed for recovery. They also work closely with family members, educating them about addiction and supporting their involvement in the recovery process, as appropriate. In addition, Spectrum's outpatient treatment centers provide a range of mental health services, including clinical assessment, treatment planning, counseling, and medication management.
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.
Mental Health and Substance Abuse
A combined mental health and substance abuse rehab has the staff and resources available to handle individuals with both mental health and substance abuse issues. It can be challenging to determine where a specific symptom stems from (a mental health issue or an issue related to substance abuse), so mental health and substance abuse professionals are helpful in detangling symptoms and keeping treatment on track.
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.
Clinical Services
Family 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.
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.
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.
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.
