About Spectrum Health Systems, Inc. – Framingham
Spectrum Health Systems, Inc. in Framingham, Massachusetts, has been assisting individuals facing substance abuse challenges since 1969. The center has established therapeutic communities that deliver a full continuum of addiction treatment based on needs. At the Framingham location, you can expect medication assisted treatment (MAT), rapid access services to medications that can help if you are in an addiction crisis, and outpatient counseling.
The rapid access program has been one of the most beneficial services for those beginning their sobriety journey. If you need same day admission and access to immediate substance abuse addiction treatment, this service can be immensely helpful. It provides on-demand treatment using the ‘hub and spoke’ model of care. This form of care allows you access to medications like methadone, naltrexone and buprenorphine, which can help you stabilize and think clearly toward future recovery goals. However, you should know that this program differs from medication assisted treatment, which specializes in a combination of counseling and FDA approved medication administration.
Should neither of these programs be what you’re looking for, you might find the outpatient counseling program a better choice. There are also different types of outpatient care with a more intensive level better suited to those who need more structure during their abstinence journey.
Many have said that this program’s counseling services are helpful since they offer individual and group counseling to adults who have a substance abuse disorder or a co-occurring mental health condition. You get an individualized treatment plan and can expect a comprehensive intake evaluation to help create this plan.
