Areas We Serve in Massachusetts

Where our patients come from

Our four centers sit in Braintree, Quincy, Sharon and Bedford, which puts most of Norfolk and northern Plymouth County, and much of Middlesex County, inside a half hour drive. The towns below are the ones we see people from most often, and each has a page covering what treatment looks like from there.

Living outside them does not exclude anybody. People travel further for residential care all the time, and for outpatient programs the honest question is whether you can make the drive several times a week rather than whether your town is on a list.

Distance depends on what you need

The nearest center is not the same for everyone in the same town. Substance use treatment runs at Braintree and Quincy; mental health runs at Sharon and Quincy. Somebody in Canton is about fifteen minutes from addiction treatment and about ten from mental health care, because those are two different buildings.

Where both are in play, Quincy handles them together, which is usually worth a few extra minutes in the car.

Getting there

The three South Shore centers are close to the expressway, the Quincy center is a short walk from the Red Line, and Bedford sits just off Route 3 north of Boston. Admissions can talk through the practical side on the first call, including what the schedule would look like against work and whether transport is a problem worth solving before you start.
