FAQs About The Best Drug And Alcohol Rehab Centers In Massachusetts

Below are answers to some frequently asked questions about rehabilitation centers in the state of Massachusetts.

Most rehab centers in Massachusetts accept major private insurance plans, MassHealth (Medicaid), TRICARE, and Medicare. Many facilities also offer sliding fee scales, payment plans, or scholarship programs for those with limited financial resources.

Residential treatment programs in Massachusetts range in length from 30 to 90 days, though some facilities offer extended stays of six months or longer for people with more severe cases of addiction. Residential program length is determined by the presence of co-occurring disorders, the client’s history of substance use and relapse, and the severity of the substance use disorder.

Not all rehab programs in Massachusetts offer dual diagnosis treatment, though the majority of top-quality centers do provide care for co-occurring disorders. When looking for a treatment program, people with mental health conditions should verify the presence of specialized dual diagnosis services at the facility.
