About this facility
Massachusetts Center for Addiction (MCA) offers flexible levels of care for addiction and mental health, including day treatment, intensive outpatient, general outpatient, and sober living. They assess each client’s condition and goals to create a personalized treatment plan that addresses challenges while drawing on individual strengths. Their approach combines evidence-based therapies, holistic practices, and a deep commitment to compassionate, inclusive care.
Across all levels of care, MCA offers evidence-based therapy through individual, group, and family sessions, along with holistic practices like yoga, mindfulness, and meditation. In day treatment, clients attend 6-hour sessions on weekdays. Their intensive outpatient program (IOP) offers daytime or evening options, meeting 3-5 days a week for 3.5 hours daily.
MCA provides clients with the necessary tools to address addiction, primary mental health conditions, or both. A thorough assessment evaluates substance use and identifies any co-occurring disorders like anxiety, depression, post-traumatic stress disorder, or bipolar. A personalized treatment plan then reflects each client’s specific challenges, ensuring a comprehensive and integrated approach to recovery.
MCA provides opportunities for long-term success, even after clients have left their care. They establish appropriate step-down procedures and exit strategies as part of the discharge plan, ensuring clients have appropriate resources—housing, therapy, support groups, health care appointments, etc.—and case management support to continue achieving their recovery goals.
