About St. Francis House
St. Francis House provides substance use treatment and housing assistance in Boston, Massachusetts. They have a range of services in place including harm reduction, case management and behavioral health, to help those in the community experiencing homelessness or other issues that frequently accompany substance abuse issues.
Their day treatment program lasts for four weeks and is supervised by behavioral health clinicians skilled in addiction services. You’ll have individual substance use counseling, where you can address the potential root causes of your addiction. You may also work on developing healthier coping skills, recognizing substance use triggers to avoid and learning relapse prevention methods for future use.
Group sessions include others who may share similar backgrounds and experiences. They can provide valuable insight and become a support network with the goal of long-term sobriety. Guests are also encouraged to help create their goals to ensure a more collaborative care plan that incorporates areas of housing and income alongside substance addiction concerns.
Their harm reduction program provides crisis intervention, treatment referrals and peer support. If you require a higher level of care then they can refer you to another agency for treatment. The crisis intervention provides immediate support for urgent conditions. A clinician will talk with you and assess your needs as needed. Peer support is included in the program to help mentor and support your progress.
On-site case managers guide you through their services so you can get the most benefit wherever you are in your recovery journey. They will also coordinate behavioral health and primary health care at their co-located clinic called Boston Health Care for the Homeless.

Levels of Care
Outpatient
Outpatient programs are designed for clients who are medically stable and not at an elevated risk of relapse, including those who have already completed inpatient care. Outpatient programs typically advance clients' established treatment plans, offering continuing addiction counseling and recovery education. Clients who enter outpatient care immediately following detox may also receive medical and mental health assessments and personalized treatment plans. Most outpatient rehabs provide multiple levels of care to align with clients' unique needs.
Intensive Outpatient
Intensive outpatient programs (IOP) facilitate clients' sustained sobriety through high-level care aligned with their evolving needs. Clients engage in multiple treatment sessions per week, typically receiving between nine and 20 hours of outpatient care weekly. The frequency and intensity of treatment gradually decreases as clients stabilize. Many intensive outpatient rehabs offer a variety of services, including addiction counseling, recovery-focused life skills training, and medication assisted treatment (MAT). Evidence-based complementary therapies are also common.
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.

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
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.
