About Spectrum Health Systems – Milford
Spectrum Health Systems’ clinic in Milford, Massachusetts is an accredited outpatient drug rehab facility. They specialize in addiction treatment services for adults aged 18 and older regardless of gender. Sliding fee scales are available based on family size and income. Services include medication assisted treatment (MAT) and counseling along with the Massachusetts Impaired Driving Program and Intimate Partner Abuse Education.
MAT treatment is available at all outpatient centers and the Milford Center offers access to methadone and naltrexone (Vivitrol) as well as buprenorphine (Suboxone). The MAT program includes assessment and medical evaluation and medication monitoring and dispensing as well as educational services and counseling.
One thing that stands out with this MAT program is that same day admission is available if you meet the requirements which include no illicit use for 12 hours beforehand and no benzos or methadone in your system without a prescription or dose letter. Admission takes 3 to 4 hours and if appropriate you can get your first medication dose at that time as well.
The Milford Center also provides a driver alcohol education program for individuals with a first conviction DUI. This 16 week educational program involves weekly two hour group sessions and two AA group meetings. Participants must remain sober from all substances while taking part and must be court referred. Once enrolled in the program, participation is mandatory.
Another important resource is the Prevention of Abuse and Violence through Education (P.A.V.E.) program for men who batter their partners. The program helps them take responsibility for their actions, recognize controlling behavior, and find non violent ways to resolve conflict. The program includes 40 weekly two-hour sessions and Spectrum may also provide referrals for addiction treatment, employment training and parenting classes.
