Massachusetts Center for Addiction

Inclusive Care Recognizing Diverse Experiences

At the core of the center’s philosophy is a commitment to creating a safe, welcoming space for everyone, especially those who have experienced trauma or marginalization. Specialized programming supports LGBTQ+ clients and those navigating the emotional effects of chronic relapse. The facility’s trauma-informed model is designed to address the root causes of substance use and to empower individuals to heal in an environment free from judgment or pressure to conform.

Identifying Co-Occurring Mental Health Conditions to Individualize Treatment

The facility emphasizes that recovery is not one-size-fits-all—each client begins with a full assessment to uncover the emotional, psychological, and social factors contributing to addiction. This integrated model supports individuals who may be navigating trauma, anxiety, depression, PTSD, or bipolar disorder alongside substance use challenges.

Flexible Outpatient Care That Fits into Your Life

Treatment is delivered through multiple outpatient levels—including partial hospitalization (PHP), intensive outpatient (IOP), and standard outpatient programs—with virtual options available. This flexibility makes it easier for clients to begin or continue care while managing school, work, or other responsibilities. Structure and accountability are built into each level of care to help stabilize clients early in recovery.

Family Participation and Emotional Reconnection

The family program brings loved ones into the recovery process. Through education, therapy, and boundary-setting tools, families are supported in processing their own experiences while learning how to be part of long-term recovery efforts for their loved ones.
