It’s easy to have a bad experience during the darkest times of your life. But the outpatient program here was nothing but positive for me. I’ve made friends and I’ve made family and group leader Liz is such a special person. These people care about you. Don’t let the reviews stop you from coming here. Especially for outpatient.

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.

Addiction Treatments

Levels of Care

Inpatient rehab offers robust, hands-on care in a highly structured and supportive environment. The facility provides housing, meals, and round-the-clock supervision, allowing clients to focus exclusively on their recovery. Inpatient treatment typically involves intensive addiction counseling based on CBT, DBT, RBT, motivational interviewing, or other psychotherapeutic approaches. Many inpatient treatment centers also offer life skills training and/or complementary therapies, including meditation, mindfulness, and nutrition counseling.

Intensive outpatient programs (IOP) facilitate clients' sustained sobriety through high-level care aligned with their evolving needs. Clients engage in multiple treatment sessions per week, typically receiving between nine and 20 hours of outpatient care weekly. The frequency and intensity of treatment gradually decreases as clients stabilize. Many intensive outpatient rehabs offer a variety of services, including addiction counseling, recovery-focused life skills training, and medication assisted treatment (MAT). Evidence-based complementary therapies are also common.

A partial hospitalization program (PHP), also known as day treatment, allows you to receive rehab-level care while living at home. PHP treatment requires a minimum of 20 hours of treatment each week for an average of 90 days. PHP treatment plans can vary depending on your needs but typically includes relapse prevention, medication management, and evidence-based therapies, such as cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), and dialectical behavior therapy (DBT). Most insurance providers fully or partially cover PHP treatment.

Outpatient programs are designed for clients who are medically stable and not at an elevated risk of relapse, including those who have already completed inpatient care. Outpatient programs typically advance clients' established treatment plans, offering continuing addiction counseling and recovery education. Clients who enter outpatient care immediately following detox may also receive medical and mental health assessments and personalized treatment plans. Most outpatient rehabs provide multiple levels of care to align with clients' unique needs.

Treatments

Mental health services are essential during treatment for drug and alcohol addiction, whether you receive treatment in an inpatient or outpatient setting. While receiving inpatient care, you can expect to have round-the-clock access to mental health therapists and medical staff. Additionally, you will likely receive a number of different therapies and mental health options like individual and group counseling, addiction and relapse prevention education, and coping skills training.

Programs

Teen programs are designed to address the unique pressures teens face, pressures that can drive them to experiment with dangerous, addictive substances. They need programs that meet them exactly where they are and give them tools for long-term recovery. Therapy can help teenagers understand and work through underlying issues so they can reclaim the life ahead of them.

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.

They should be shut down

The staff spent more time on their phones then doing their jobs. If you ask for help while they are on the phone,you get an attitude. I saw the staff show more power trips than compassion. Unprofessional and when I discharged,they gave all my belongings to someone else. They ... Read More

I did not have a good stay here. I can’t compare this place to other institutes since I’ve only been here TWICE, but I wasn’t provided any therapeutic help here whatsoever. Upon arrival, I was dosed up with phenobarbital amongst other drugs for withdrawal from substances. (I originally wanted to go to a rehab for addiction but Baystate placed me here)… I was assisted by AMR and nurses for transport (I was basically asleep and unable to move) and when I got to Valley Springs I was signing forms and consent forms while completely nodding out. I could barely hold my head up and definitely could not read the forms but they kept sliding them in my face. They have a daily schedule with groups- but they aren’t held- or it’s just coloring. I spent most of the days in bed staring at a wall waiting for either food time or med time. There was no therapy. You speak with a doctor maybe twice during the stay for 15mins but that’s about it. I’ve never been to jail/prison but I felt like an inmate. Nurses withheld PRN medication from me (I was forced to wait another hour, when the next hour came, it was suddenly “shift change” and I had to wait longer). One night I had a melt down (I do also have a mental health diagnosis) and no staff or nurse checked in on me despite me screaming and crying. My roommate consoled me. Nurses and some staff really made me feel like an inconvenience when I asked for towels, shampoo, snacks etc- you have to ask for basically anything and it seemed like they either tried to avoid patients, pawn off the responsibility to another staff/nurse, or be agitated with your request. They gave my partner a hard time about visiting me, it took them days to approve of my personal items. It really felt like they just knew they could control the situation and did so just because. This place is not beneficial for people with mental illness. I don’t like leaving negative reviews, and I hope this doesn’t come off as rude, but I am speaking the truth about my experience here. Oh- and I’m vegetarian, and there was not a single meal that didn’t have meat in it or alternatives. I had to eat meat here in order to eat. That was a bummer. One positive- there were two overnight staff members who were extremely kind and helpful. I wish they worked during the days or evenings because you could tell that they genuinely cared for the patients here. They were sweethearts.

The staff is terrible. The first time I went the night shift nurse came in and asked me and my roommate, “So you aren’t gonna wash your stinky a**es tonight?” I have trouble showering and doing normal human hygiene tasks when I’m in a deep depression and I already feel AWFUL about it. Why would you say that to a teenager with MDD? Many other things have happened there. Horrible place.

My loved one came here after spending 7 days in the hospital waiting for a bed to open up (she is 6). After spending that amount of time waiting, we were hopeful she would end up in good care - especially considering her young age. The experience she received at this facility was quite horrendous. In the 12 days she was attending, there were 3 different psychiatrists assigned to her. The first one, who goes by the name of Chris, a psych NP, failed to put in an order for her recently prescribed medication before he left? To either go to another unit or quit- leaving my daughter without medication for 3 entire days. I contacted DMH regarding this. He had also asked me about adding a medication which was clearly contraindicated with one my daughter was currently taking, and suggested Early Intervention as her best option for DC therapy- lacking the knowledge that EI is actually for babies and toddlers, while questioning Autism which had never been considered in my daughters case. At the 2 care plan meetings, the ONLY person who participated was the social worker, who hadn’t actually met with my daughter until the day before discharge. There was absolute lack of continuity of care and poor communication. Impossible to follow up and professionally evaluate my daughter throughout her stay due to the “lack of staffing” which was an excuse I kept receiving. The only thing this facility was able to do was increase her medication (eventually) to a somewhat therapeutic dosage. I essentially conducted all of the DC planning, finding therapists and making appointments so the facility did nothing of that on their end- and because in my experience, I didn’t trust anyone to do their jobs. The unit itself was a bit volatile- if you have a young child, wait for a bed at another facility. They will be mixed on a co-ed unit with teenagers. This facility itself is new, clean and tidy- but don’t let this fool you. I understand everyone’s experience will be different but I would never recommend this facility.
