Counseling and Assessment Clinic of Worcester – Electric Avenue

Counseling and Assessment Clinic of Worcester – Electric Avenue is a private, nonprofit mental and behavioral health center in Fitchburg, Massachusetts. They offer an array of services to support kids, adolescents, adults and families. Their alcohol and drug rehab program includes outpatient group therapy and structured outpatient programs (SOPs) for adults and teens. They also have programs for people who have been involved with the legal system because of substance misuse. People with dual diagnosis can receive help here for mental illnesses like depression and anxiety as well as substance use disorder.

Upon admission, people receive case managers who design personalized treatment plans and help guide people through the programs. That’s great because recovery can feel overwhelming, especially if it’s your first time in rehab, and it’s important to have someone you can rely on. Plus, you might benefit from services like evaluations and medication management as well as counseling. You can meet with case managers and counselors online or in person, which can make things easier if you need to schedule treatment around work and other obligations.

I also like that this center offers group counseling with various focus areas. For instance, people with kids might be interested in the Nurturing Parents group, whereas those who struggle controlling their emotions might benefit from Anger Management. There is also a specific domestic violence group for survivors.

Other distinguishing features of this facility are their First Offender Massachusetts Impaired Driving Program and Second Offender Aftercare Program. These are often mandatory for people who’ve had encounters with law enforcement. The programs include counseling and education. Completing these programs, offered by Masters level clinicians, can help you stay on the right track as you work on your recovery.
