About Mass Commonwealth – Massachusetts Rehabilitation Center
MassAbility in Holyoke, Massachusetts was formerly known as the Massachusetts Rehabilitation Center, this state agency provides supportive services for youth and adults living with disabilities and other life challenges. You can access assistive technology, benefits rights advocacy and independent living support to achieve your recovery goals.
Supplementing Recovery with Career Services
One standout feature I noticed was their career services. Individuals aged 14 and older with moderate to severe disabilities can participate in this program to find fulfilling careers. They provide counseling and guidance, diagnostic evaluations and interest testing to help you understand your strengths and potential career pathways.
You can also receive vocational or college training to foster new skills and job placement assistance. They offer assistive technology to ensure you have the support you need to work effectively.
Brain Injury Services
I also think it’s beneficial that they provide brain injury training and educational tools for individuals, professionals and the community. You can access a free module covering topics like mental health, brain injury, resources, screening, substance abuse and more. You’ll benefit from gaining the tools to understand brain injuries and what steps you can take to promote autonomy.

Their office is close to the Ashley Reservoir, Holyoke Heritage State Park and Pulaski Park. These natural spaces provide a tranquil environment to reflect and relax throughout recovery. Holyoke is also close to the canal walkways of the Connecticut River.
Addiction Treatments
Levels of Care
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
Substance rehabs focus on helping individuals recover from substance abuse, including alcohol and drug addiction (both illegal and prescription drugs). They often include the opportunity to engage in both individual as well as group therapy.
Clinical Services
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.
