About Brockton Neighborhood Health Center — Harm Reduction Clinic – Brockton
The Harm Reduction Clinic, operated by Brockton Neighborhood Health Center, offers addiction treatment services in Brockton, Massachusetts. They treat individuals with addictions to various substances, such as stimulants, opioids and alcohol. Clients can pay for their services with Medicare or through a sliding discount fee based on their family size and income.
I like that the facility has multiple medication options for managing your withdrawal symptoms. Clients may receive Suboxone, Vivitrol, Campral, Sublocade, or other addiction medicine to support their recovery. Campra can reduce symptoms of alcohol withdrawal, while Suboxone, Sublocade, and Vivitrol can reduce symptoms of opioid withdrawal.
A nice thing about this facility’s location is it’s less than 40 minutes away from Boston. Some attractions you can enjoy outside of your treatment sessions include visiting the Bunker Hill Monument or checking out the New England Aquarium.
The counselors you’ll work with will use proven strategies to help you heal from addiction. Two of the most common evidence based therapies used to treat addiction are cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavioral therapy.
Cognitive behavioral therapy can help you change false beliefs contributing to your substance use. Dialectical behavioral therapy focuses on emotional regulation and distress tolerance to help patients learn how to cope with difficult situations in life without using substances.
In addition to counseling, clients can also receive assistance from a peer recovery coach. Your peer recovery coach can provide guidance based on their experience recovering from addiction and help you stay committed to your sobriety.
