About Spectrum Health Systems, Inc. – Westborough
Spectrum Health Systems offers comprehensive residential treatment for substance use disorder and dual diagnosis for adults. You’ll find ’em located out on Oak Street in Westborough, Massachusetts. This is Spectrum’s flagship location and is the Charles J. Faris Recovery Center, located in a 25-acre park.
The center is accredited by CARF. If you’re wondering about payment, the center accepts insurance from many providers. They also take Medicare Part B and Medicaid. There’s also a sliding fee schedule based on your income and the size of your family. They don’t turn anyone away for an inability to pay.
They offer medical detox with 24 hour nursing supervision. They can help you detox from opioids, alcohol, or whatever substance you’ve been using. They’ll give you medication to help ease the worst withdrawal symptoms. While in detox, you’ll begin preparing for the next part of your recovery.
This location also offers clinical stabilization. This is a short term inpatient (IP) program. You’ll have an assessment and participate in individual and group counseling. You’ll prepare a continuing care plan and decide what your next step will be for your recovery process.
After detox, if appropriate, you’ll move to a residential treatment program. This is a longer program than the clinical stabilization program and is gender specific to address men’s and women’s unique needs. The schedule is structured and you’ll participate in different therapy modalities. These include family, group, and individual counseling.
There are also recovery groups and relapse prevention training. You’ll have time for recreational activities since exercise is an important part of recovery.
While in the program, you’ll work on developing a continuing care plan. Having a plan is important to help you maintain sobriety after discharge. The length of stay in the residential program varies depending on your progress.
More than one former client felt that the center saved their lives. They mentioned that the staff was amazing and helped with little things, like cleaning a jacket.
