About Dimock Health Center – Boston
Dimock Community Health Center is a rehab and community clinic in Boston, Massachusetts. It has a variety of health services on its nine acre campus to help the community. It’s especially well known for its alcohol and drug rehab, which is run by its Behavioral Health Services department.
This rehab actually has cool historic roots. It opened in 1862 as the New England for Women and Children which was only the second hospital in the country operated for women by women. The US’s first black nurse studied here, too, in 1879. The health center it houses today is continuing that legacy of bringing equity of care to all who need it. Clients do mention that there can be issues with communication and scheduling, though. It’s not perfect, but it’s making strides.
The rehab helps people of all ages, even kids who have behavioral health needs. The substance abuse treatment program has just about every level of care because they recognize that people have different needs at different times in their recovery. There’s an inpatient detox center so you can launch your recovery under the safe supervision of specialists. There are also multiple residential programs for men and for women and children, and outpatient treatment. The programs focus on counseling along with medications for withdrawal and case management.
