Good to know

What are the intensive residential treatment programs available in Massachusetts?

There are 326 substance use treatment facilities in Massachusetts listed by SAMHSA, and some provide residential or inpatient care. Relief Recovery Center offers only outpatient care, so it may not suit someone who requires 24-hour supervision. If you do not know what level of care is appropriate, the helpline can help you understand the options and connect you with providers that offer residential programs. A clinical assessment is the best way to determine the right level of care.

Does MassHealth cover inpatient rehab?

Inpatient rehab may be covered through MassHealth, the state's Medicaid program, though whether it pays depends on medical necessity and on the particular plan. Relief Recovery Center delivers outpatient care and takes cash payments; it also contracts with most major insurance plans, but confirm first whether MassHealth is among them. Our helpline can assist as you look into coverage at this center or at other SAMHSA-listed sites across Massachusetts. Reach out to verify your benefits before you commit to anything.

How do detox and rehab differ?

Detox is the process of removing a substance from the body while managing withdrawal, while rehab means continuing treatment for the psychological and behavioral sides of substance use. Relief Recovery Center provides outpatient treatment and does not list detox among its services. Coming off alcohol or benzodiazepines may need medical oversight, and a medical team should monitor it. If detox is what you need, the helpline can assist in locating suitable care.

How much is a week of detox?

Detox pricing depends heavily on which facility you choose, how intensive the care is, and what insurance will cover. Our records on Relief Recovery Center say nothing about detox or what it costs, so no figure is available from us. What the center does list is self-pay pricing, and most major insurance plans are accepted there. For exact numbers on detox or outpatient services, contact the center directly, or call the helpline and ask about coverage.
