1. Before admission: A physical examination, drug screen, lab testing, a psychosocial assessment and a meeting with our medical director.

2. Following admission: A new-client orientation on topics such as program policies and expectations; the characteristics of methadone and how it works; the nature of addictive disorders, the process of recovery; and HIV and Hepatitis C.

3. Treatment:

We have two treatment options:

• Methadone Maintenance: For individuals who have been addicted (as documented) to opiates for a year or more. Maintenance allows individuals to stay in treatment for as long as needed and as long as the individual adheres to program rules.

• Methadone Detox is a six-month treatment protocol for individuals with less than a year’s opiate addiction. It includes all the services of the maintenance protocol except take- home medications, and is limited to six months in duration by state and federal regulation.

Services for all methadone clients:

• Daily dosing with stable methadone dose monitored by nursing and other staff

• Support group and individual counseling

• Ongoing random drug screens

• Coordination of care and referrals to other services including psychopharmacology,

medical care and inpatient care

Who We Serve:

We serve adult men and women (over 18)

from throughout Essex County, Massachusetts

and beyond.

Clients are assessed by our medical director and

nursing staff to be maintained on an appropriate

dose of methadone.

Once stabilized, clients can start to resolve

problems in other areas of their lives, such as

family, health, housing, employment, legal

and psychological issues.

With the help of

individual and group

counseling, clients

learn healthy coping

skills to manage

their addictions

and other life

problems.

Our Services

We work with members enrolled in all

MassHealth and Commonwealth Care Plans.

We also accept private insurances and

self-pay clients who pay a weekly fee.

Some individuals may qualify for a sliding

scale fee.
