About Clinton Hospital – Geriatric Psychiatry

Clinton Hospital – Geriatric Psychiatry is based in Clinton, Massachusetts. It’s part of the UMass Memorial system. This hospital has behavioral health services that focus on emergency cases and evaluations. Primary care is also available as needed. Their main patients are 16 years old and older. Medicare is accepted, but not Medicare Advantage.

At Clinton, clients who are in crisis can be stabilized in an emergency care setting. Afterwards, a case management team sits down with them and discusses options on how to strengthen their recovery. This can include consultations, therapy, and referrals to an outside hospital, such as the Karen W. Green clinic for pregnant women who have addiction disorders.

The hospital offers limited prevention services. Occasional classes can offer tips on addiction control, like tips on detox and harm reduction methods. However, these classes are not part of the hospital’s regular services.

Visited the ER yesterday due to very high BP and pulse. I was taken right away. The nurses were so friendly and kind as was the PA that over saw me. They went out of their way to make sure I was comfortable. I live in Bolton so it was convenient for me. Will definitely use them again if the need arises, hopefully not.

I am very disappointed with how my experience just went at this hospital, never mind a hospital. I went in for severe lower abdominal pain, and given the symptoms I am experiencing, an ultrasound would help determine what is causing the pain. Not only did I get an attitude from the doctor about not taking Motrin, but I also did not receive any communication on WHY tests were being done. There was absolutely no communication on why I was getting these tests done. One in particular I never asked for and was definitely not there to get the test done and I told her immediately I did not want to be sent to the lab. I finally had to ask what was going on because I started to get confused, and then she told me they don't do ultrasounds after hours... I'm sorry, what? This is an emergency room. I asked why this wasn't discussed at the beginning of the visit, and then she started saying it wasn't necessary to have one. I am so appalled at this entire experience and extremely confused as to how the ultrasound isn't available 24 hours. This is a hospital. I am someone who likes to take charge ahead of things getting worse, so leaving the hospital without any answers besides to follow up with my doctor is probably one of the worst feelings. Do NOT go here. Save your time and go somewhere else!

Other Forms of Payment

Medicaid is a state based program that helps lower-income individuals and families pay for healthcare. Medicaid covers addiction treatment so those enrolled can use their coverage to pay for rehab. When a program accepts Medicaid the client often pays very little or nothing out of their own pocket.

Private insurance refers to any kind of healthcare coverage that isn't from the state or federal government. This includes individual and family plans offered by an employer or purchased from the Insurance Marketplace. Every plan will have different requirements and out of pocket costs so be sure to get the full details before you start treatment.

Self-pay involves paying for treatment out of your own pocket. You can use savings or credit, get a personal loan, or receive help from family and friends to fund your treatment. If you don't have insurance or your insurance plan doesn't cover a specific program, self-pay can help ensure you still get the care you need.

Financial aid can take many forms. Centers may have grants or scholarships available to clients who meet eligibility requirements. Programs that receive SAMHSA grants may have financial aid available for those who need treatment as well. Grants and scholarships can help you pai for treatment without having to repay.

Medicare is a federal program that provides health insurance for those 65 and older. It also serves people under 65 with chronic and disabling health challenges. To use Medicare for addiction treatment you need to find a program that accepts Medicare and is in network with your plan. Out of pocket costs and preauthorization requirements vary, so always check with your provider.

Military members, veterans, and eligible dependents have access to specific insurance programs that help them get the care they need. TRICARE and VA insurance can help you access low cost or no cost addiction and mental health treatment. Programs that accept military insurance often have targeted treatment focused on the unique challenges military members, veterans, and their families face.

Addiction Treatments

Levels of Care

inpatient iconInpatient
Residential treatment programs are those that offer housing and meals in addition to substance abuse treatment. Rehab facilities that offer residential treatment allow patients to focus solely on recovery, in an environment totally separate from their lives. Some rehab centers specialize in short-term residential treatment (a few days to a week or two), while others solely provide treatment on a long-term basis (several weeks to months). Some offer both, and tailor treatment to the patient's individual requirements.

Treatments

Mental health rehabs focus on helping individuals recover from mental illnesses like bipolar disorder, clinical depression, anxiety disorders, schizophrenia, and more. Mental health professionals at these facilities are trained to understand and treat mental health issues, both in individual and group settings.

Programs

adult-program thumbnail image
Adult Program
Adult rehab programs include therapies tailored to each client's specific needs, goals, and recovery progress. They are tailored to the specific challenges adult clients may face, including family and work pressures and commitments. From inpatient and residential treatment to various levels of outpatient services, there are many options available. Some facilities also help adults work through co-occurring conditions, like anxiety, that can accompany addiction.

Clinical Services

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a therapy modality that focuses on the relationship between one's thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. It is used to establish and allow for healthy responses to thoughts and feelings (instead of unhealthy responses, like using drugs or alcohol). CBT has been proven effective for recovering addicts of all kinds, and is used to strengthen a patient's own self-awareness and ability to self-regulate. CBT allows individuals to monitor their own emotional state, become more adept at communicating with others, and manage stress without needing to engage in substance abuse.

Experiential therapy is a form of therapy in which clients are encouraged to surface and work through subconscious issues by engaging in real-time experiences. Experiential therapy departs from traditional talk therapy by involving the body, and having clients engage in activities, movements, and physical and emotional expression. This can involve role-play or using props (which can include other people). Experiential therapy can help people process trauma, memories, and emotion quickly, deeply, and in a lasting fashion, leading to substantial and impactful healing.

Group therapy is any therapeutic work that happens in a group (not one-on-one). There are a number of different group therapy modalities, including support groups, experiential therapy, psycho-education, and more. Group therapy involves treatment as well as processing interaction between group members.

In individual therapy, a patient meets one-on-one with a trained psychologist or counselor. Therapy is a pivotal part of effective substance abuse treatment, as it often covers root causes of addiction, including challenges faced by the patient in their social, family, and work/school life.

Nicotine Replacement Therapy (NRT) is a way of getting nicotine into the bloodstream without smoking. It uses products that supply low doses of nicotine to help people stop smoking. The goal of therapy is to cut down on cravings for nicotine and ease the symptoms of nicotine withdrawal.

Nutrition therapy, aka medical nutrition therapy (MNT), is a way of treating physical, emotional, and medical conditions through diet. Specific dietary plans are designed by professional nutritionists or registered dietitians, and patients follow them in order to positively affect their physical and mental health.

You guys both chemically and physically restrained me while five police officers sat in my room and watched. Your chemical restraint and excessive police presence was utterly and completely unethical, and drastically made my mental health crisis that much worse. Your staff were instigating and provocative, and by all measures blatantly unprofessional. I wouldn’t come to your hospital if I had a compound fractured femur. If you as a reader care about mental health treatment, do not come here. The staff are untrained in these matters, and seem to only make treatment of a mental health crisis worse.

I went to the ER for complete body cramping. Was triaged and saw a pleasant nurse who suggested a Lyme test. When the Dr. came in he dismissed my symptoms and informed me that my symptoms should be discussed with my primary care physician and discharged me. Fast forward 2 months the bill comes. $571.00 was billed to my insurance for a 2 minute visit. My portion was about $227. I called to dispute the charges but to no avail. Imagine the people (if you can call them that) who sent the bill said the charges stand. This country is in dire need of medical care reform. #FUMass Clinton Hospital.

Somehow even worse than Leominster’s hospital. Spent 6 hours in waiting room with symptoms of internal bleeding, they don’t care. Go to an urgent care or Worcester’s hospital

Brought my son to the ER for a high fever of 105.4 all day after alternating Motrin and Tylenol. The RN in triage said our thermometer was recalled and didn't work. We were sent back to the waiting room after she repeatedly said they were so busy and there were so many patients. So, we left. Test result showed he had the flu. Later that evening, his fever was back up (after purchasing 2 more thermometers) and he was shaking and delirious. He didn't know his name or mine. We called the ambulance and they took him to Clinton Hospital. The RN, told the EMT to take my son to triage and did not put him in a room. He never took vital signs, never put the White paper on the table and then told us to go to the waiting room. We were told that everyone around the world has the flu and he knows when patients are stable. How? Without doing any type of physical exam? Needless to say, its an hour later and there is a sick child in the waiting room waiting for care. This is not the first or the second time we have been treated like this at the Clinton ER. I don't know why we keep coming here.

Went to the ER with abdominal pain and was treated quickly (some of you seem to have outrageous expectations). After not responding to initial treatment Dr. CK did a bedside ultrasound and discovered the real problem. He was able to have me accepted at another location for emergency surgery and I am now feeling good and happy to have identified and corrected the problem. All the staff I interacted with were polite and professional. I’m glad we have a great Hospital in town.
