About Springfield Comprehensive Treatment Center

Springfield Comprehensive Treatment Center is part of the Comprehensive Treatment Center Opioid Use Disorder Programs network. This outpatient facility is on Columbus Avenue in Springfield, Massachusetts. The center offers treatment for opioid use and co occurring mental health disorders. They accept adults 18 and older and specialize in medication assisted treatment (MAT). The center takes state and public funding, Medicare, Medicaid, self pay, and most commercial insurance.

After an assessment, the team develops a customized treatment plan to facilitate recovery. The team helps people with any type of opioid addiction such as heroin or prescription painkillers. The MAT offered at this clinic is methadone maintenance. Methadone is an evidence based treatment with a long history of safety. During the induction phase of your treatment, when you’re first taking methadone, you’ll be closely monitored by licensed medical staff for any side effects.

The nice thing about methadone is you don’t have to fear withdrawal symptoms. The methadone alleviates some of the worst symptoms of detox while allowing you to continue with normal activities. Some people wean off the methadone while others stay on it long term.

One of the most important components of any drug treatment program is counseling to address the emotional aspects of addiction. Addiction counselors are trained to help you identify the underlying causes of your substance use. They do this through treatment modalities such as cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and dialectical behavior therapy (DBT).

These therapies focus on connecting your thoughts and actions to identify negative beliefs and thought patterns. The goal is to promote more positive behavior patterns. You’ll also learn to better regulate your emotions and become mindful of your substance use triggers so you can avoid or manage them.

You’ll also participate in group counseling led by a professional. Many of the groups address specific topics such as conflict resolution or anger management. Other groups are educational and help you better understand the ways that addiction affects your health and life. Group therapy not only gives you support but also teaches you how to support and interact with others in similar situations. You’ll leave the program prepared to continue with life long sobriety.

By far this is one of the worst clinics around security is some of the laziest people who I have ever seen there are fights in the parking lot all the time because security guards are too busy talking with their little friends than they are to do their jobs cars park and block the entire area so you can't get in and out very easy because again security guard is too busy with their friends to do their jobs it's absolutely ridiculous that these people are allowed to block entrances to a medical facility but of course the security guard is black so nobody will say anything to him because I'm sure they're lazy loser will pull the race card if he was called out on his incompetence more of a disaster here than it was at the trolley stop

Accepted Insurance

Springfield Comprehensive Treatment Center works with several private insurance providers and also accepts private payments when possible, please contact to verify your specific insurance provider.

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.
24-hour icon24-Hour Clinical Care
Due to various health issues that substance abuse causes, 24-hour clinical care in Massachusetts is often a necessary part of treatment. Individuals may be suffering from infections, illness, or organ damage. Having 24-hour care available ensures that these physical problems are treated along with the psychological effects of addiction. Once individuals complete detox and are medically stable, this intensive level of supervision ends, and the next phase of treatment can begin.
medically-assisted-detox iconMedically Assisted Detox
Drug and alcohol addiction often takes a heavy toll on one's body. Over time, a physical dependence can develop, meaning the body physiologically needs the substance to function. Detox is the process of removing drugs and/or alcohol from the body, a process that can be lethal if mismanaged. Medical detox is done by licensed medical professionals who monitor vital signs and keep you safe, healthy, and as comfortable as possible as you go through detox and withdrawal.

Treatments

The goal of treatment for alcoholism is abstinence. Those with poor social support, poor motivation, or psychiatric disorders tend to relapse within a few years of treatment. For these people, success is measured by longer periods of abstinence, reduced use of alcohol, better health, and improved social functioning. Recovery and Maintenance are usually based on 12 step programs and AA meetings.

Addiction is a highly complex problem, and drug rehab in Massachusetts is often necessary to address it. These programs treat physical, mental, and relational issues that are involved. Treatment empowers individuals to manage these issues without the use of drugs.

Many of those suffering from addiction also suffer from mental or emotional illnesses like schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, depression, or anxiety disorders. Rehab and other substance abuse facilities treating those with a dual diagnosis or co-occurring disorder administer psychiatric treatment to address the person's mental health issue in addition to drug and alcohol rehabilitation.

Opioid rehabs specialize in supporting those recovering from opioid addiction. They treat those suffering from addiction to illegal opioids like heroin, as well as prescription drugs like oxycodone. These centers typically combine both physical as well as mental and emotional support to help stop addiction. Physical support often includes medical detox and subsequent medical support (including medication), and mental support includes in-depth therapy to address the underlying causes of addiction.

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.

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.

Clinical Services

During cognitive behavioral therapy in Massachusetts, clients work with a trained counselor to identify negative thinking patterns and change them. This change in thinking has been shown to lead to changes in behavior to treat substance use and mental health disorders effectively.

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.

Therapists in Massachusetts offer individual therapy in a confidential setting to help you explore the complex factors that have contributed to your drug addiction. Using a tailored approach, your therapist supports you and utilizes evidence based treatment modalities to help you develop healthier thought patterns and behaviors. This builds a foundation for enduring sobriety.

Trauma therapy addresses traumatic incidents from a client's past that are likely affecting their present-day experience. Trauma is often one of the primary triggers and potential causes of addiction, and can stem from child sexual abuse, domestic violence, having a parent with a mental illness, losing one or both parents at a young age, teenage or adult sexual assault, or any number of other factors. The purpose of trauma therapy is to allow a patient to process trauma and move through and past it, with the help of trained and compassionate mental health professionals.

During family therapy, the therapist works with every member of the family unit to understand the role they play in their loved one's addiction. By addressing these patterns, family members learn healthier ways to interact with each other and contribute to a more effective recovery journey for the family member who is addicted.

Have been a patient here for over 3 months and never failed a drug test once, because I started a new job and couldn't get out of work by 10am (on my second day at that job) to see doctor lackewitz (on 1 of his 2, 3 hour shifts a week) to fill out paperwork that probably could've waited they are refusing to dose me or fill my prescription it is now Friday and the doctor isn't in again till next Wednesday. I made it out of work and got there by 11am for Kimberly to be of no help also basically telling me "good luck till next Wednesday, go to the emergency room." Great way to treat a good client Springfield comprehensive.

You do have to put up with a lot of things like payments not being taken and put off then expecting it the week after if going once a week for example. They don't like giving receipts because its too much work at times (not really obviously) so if you don't need a receipt then you can pay...at times. They do go above and beyond to get you admitted. Couldn't get take homes because I did not have a counselor because they constantly have a quick turnover of staff so that impacts the stability of your treatment if you are serious. I just recommend asking for a specific counselor that you find that has been there for some time. It is what you make of it, like everything else.

If you are ready to live the life you knew before getting addicted, then call Habit opco. The staff are ready and willing to work with you. Think about how proud your family will be. Pick up the phone and take that first step, you won't regret it, Habit opco turned my life around.

The facility is at a new location as of July 2019. We, as clients, have put up with a lot in the past 5 years here. This includes changing of ownership a couple times- which prompted massive staff turnovers (including a stretch of new Clinical Directors every 6 months to a year for a few years... Each of which had their own style and barrage of changes in program rules which would just start becoming the 'norm' before the current CD left and a new, in-house, counselor with the right credentials would float up to becom the new CD & impose their own new rules.) As well as a constant revolving door of dosing nurses who lasted anywhere from training+1 week of dosing to a few months max before taking off to the other local clinic where they said the benefits was better. Consistent routine is everything in treatment and without it everything is a real mess. Finally a CD has stuck for more than a few months and now everyone pretty much knows what they can expect there daily and- feel things are more stable. We were kinda duped on some of the certainties and promises about the new facility and when we started bringing it up & pointing it out we'd get chewed out and told it was bc they just moved and it was only bc it wld take a little time for things to run as hoped. But it's now about to be 4 months in a week and there's still not enough nursing staff & windows. It's the same amount of windows open every day as it was at the old clinic, but it's so much worse bc there's about ⅓ more clients that we're admitted. So more clients, but same number of nurses...? The old clinic instituted a 4th window in the year before moving... 7 days a week at this new clinic you will never see more than 4 windows running. The big selling point on us about moving was we were gonna love it bc there was 10 windows! Well yeah it's true, they're are 10 windows, but that doesn't mean jack bc theres not ever 10,9,8,7,6, or 5 windows ever open. Not once. You can have all the windows you want, but if you don't hire and staff enough nurses- it's pointless. They looked at this place being bigger and being able to take on more clients, but they haven't made accounting for all them new clients with an appropriate amount of staff a priority. So the service you get is lacking. Now I will say they have made great strides with working on staff turnover. That was a big problem. At one point I went as long as 7 months without a counselor during the height of their staffing issues. It was perfectly fine when the clinic couldn't give me a counselor and I was bobbing around on my own but once they did give me a counselor and I missed any appt with they'd make a federal case out of it saying how "important it was that we have consistent counseling for our recovery", but that wasn't a big concern when THEY didn't have a counselor for me...the "consistent counseling". There a lot of frustrating situations like these that don't sound like a big deal, but when you're living it everyday it's very nerve-wracking. Theres a certain level of having to man/woman-up when being on the clinic here & knowing things are gonna happen often that are not right or "fair" and are even downright contradictive between the clinics expectations from you in comparison to theirs, but that's just the way this methadone clinic life thing goes... U gotta suck sh*t up and keep it moving every day and try not to let the stuff make u hostile. They will always be right and have the upper hand. Even with all this said- I, by far, think this is the better of the clinics in the Valley. I think they are def on the right path again and could only get better if they stick to treating staff well so that they stay, and keep to the rules. They're some exceptional counselors there right now... Scott, Jaime, and Matt, to name a few. The new facility is leaps and bounds better than the old facility. And methadone is a life saver for many ppl & their families so it's not all negative. I still very much recommend this clinic, I'm just giving an accurate review of some of the aspects.
