About South Cove Community Health Center

South Cove Community Health Center is located on South Street in Boston, Massachusetts. The center offers comprehensive health services to the primarily Asian immigrant community in this area. Additionally, they offer behavioral health services and counseling for substance use disorder (SUD). You can pay with private insurance, Medicare, Medicaid, and the Children’s Health Insurance Program (CHIP).

Bilingual Behavioral Health Services in Boston, Massachusetts

One of the unique things this health center does is focus on improving the health of the underserved in Massachusetts, especially non English speaking Asian Americans. The programs are culturally and linguistically competent for the Asian American community.

Their behavioral health services include individual counseling, couples therapy and family counseling. They provide medication management for clients using psychotherapeutic medications. If you need more intensive SUD treatment, they can refer you to their affiliate Beth Israel Lahey Health at the Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center only three miles away.

Assisting Chinese Immigrants in the Boston Area

The leading causes of death in this community are cancer, tuberculosis, and hepatitis B/C. I think it’s great that they put a special emphasis on diagnosing and treating these diseases.

They help new immigrants navigate healthcare through their extensive social services department. Additionally, they offer dental, OB/GYN, pediatrics, radiology, family medicine and optometry care.

Other Forms of Payment

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.

Sliding scale payments are based on a client's income and family size. The goal is to make treatment affordable to everyone. By taking these factors into account, addiction recovery care providers help ensure that your treatment does not become a financial burden to you or your family, eliminating one barrier to care.

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.

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.

Addiction Treatments

Levels of Care

outpatient iconOutpatient
Outpatient Programs (OP) are for those seeking mental rehab or drug rehab, but who also stay at home every night. The main difference between outpatient treatment (OP) and intensive outpatient treatment (IOP) lies in the amount of hours the patient spends at the facility. Most of the time an outpatient program is designed for someone who has completed an inpatient stay and is looking to continue their growth in recovery. Outpatient is not meant to be the starting point, it is commonly referred to as aftercare.

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.
young-adult-program thumbnail image
Young Adult Program
Young adulthood can be an exciting, yet difficult, time of transition. Individuals in their late teens to mid-20s face unique stressors related to school, jobs, families, and social circles, which can lead to a rise in substance use. Rehab centers with dedicated young adult programs will include activities and amenities that cater to this age group, with an emphasis on specialized counseling, peer socialization, and ongoing aftercare.
lgbtq-program thumbnail image
LGBTQ Program
Recovery is most successful when clients feel accepted and validated by their peers and treatment providers. Facilities that offer LGBTQ-inclusive programming are committed to creating a safe space where everyone can grow and recover without fear of judgment or discrimination. They will have dedicated policies in place to create a safe and supportive environment that fosters free expression.

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.

If you are experiencing intense, negative emotions, dialectical behavior therapy can help you learn how to regulate painful emotions and manage the interpersonal situations that generate them. This method is often used during substance use treatment in Massachusetts to help you develop better coping skills and avoid relapse.

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.

Whether a marriage or other committed relationship, an intimate partnership is one of the most important aspects of a person's life. Drug and alcohol addiction affects both members of a couple in deep and meaningful ways, as does rehab and recovery. Couples therapy and other couples-focused treatment programs are significant parts of exploring triggers of addiction, as well as learning how to build healthy patterns to support ongoing sobriety.

Research clearly demonstrates that recovery is far more successful and sustainable when loved ones like family members participate in rehab and substance abuse treatment. Genetic factors may be at play when it comes to drug and alcohol addiction, as well as mental health issues. Family dynamics often play a critical role in addiction triggers, and if properly educated, family members can be a strong source of support when it comes to rehabilitation.

There is a strong link between nutrition and addiction. That's why drug rehab in Massachusetts includes nutrition therapy to teach you healthy eating habits that support addiction recovery. You'll learn what foods your body needs for healing and long term health.

I didn't have a good experience with the nurses here when I visited my OB here last year. They are poorly trained - e.g., they poked my arm multiple times and could not draw out any blood! I had bruises all over. I have to go to the hospital and pay out-of-pocket for an ER nurse to do it - who was successful at drawing blood in one try. This year I decided to go elsewhere. I also moved away further so it made sense. Their nurse called me repeatedly, sometimes 2-3 times a day - asking me why I had cancelled my appointment this year. When I said I moved, she demanded to know where I moved to, which hospital I plan on going (because I don't have a referral), who is my new OB/PCP and why I'm not coming in anymore. After multiple attempts of telling her that I moved, she wouldn't stop calling for the last few weeks. At one point she remarked, "if you don't tell me this or follow through with what we recommended, you'll die you know." Like why would I go somewhere when I'm constantly threatened by the nurses??

Dr. Yeung is an amazing doctor who really cares, asks good questions, gently offers helpful insights and advice, and is responsive when emergencies come up between appointments. Honestly he is a major reason I stay in the Boston area. While some of the front desk people upstairs have been curt about simple things like not lining up the way they want, overall I've found the staff helpful. I've never encountered a mistake in billing or scheduling. Also they can switch fluently between English, Mandarin, and Cantonese (and maybe also Vietnamese, which is printed as a 3rd language on signs). They have surprisingly good systems: multi-channel appointment reminders (email and calls) and an easy-to-use website for checking test results and messages.

外层几个女前台本来在说笑,看人进门就立即换成了死人脸,因为第一次去,问了一个问题该在哪里check in,就被大声训斥二十秒,实在莫名其妙,虽然不想这样说,但外面大厅那两个前台真是人丑心更丑。里面放射科的那个前台和美国医师还是不错的,以后再不去这个地方了

The doctors are rude and don't care about the questions that patient asked, they just do what's their own responsibility for money, have no caring about patient, if you go for teeth cleaning, they will do some procedures for your teeth, if you ask the doctor questions or concerns about your teeth, they will rudely say: " I am not responsible for this and that, this is not my responsibility, don't ask me." Then they will just do teeth cleaning and don't care what questions you gonna ask.
