Edward M Kennedy CHC OBOT Worcester

They offer outpatient and telemedicine. Which one fits is usually decided by how much structure the first few weeks need, and Worcester has 8 other centers within 14 miles.

No. The nearest place that does offer one is in Worcester, under a mile away.

They treat both, and the rest of what they are set up for is adult men, adult women, court referrals, hiv/aids, military families, pain management, past domestic violence, past sexual abuse, past trauma, pregnant/postpartum and veterans.

Worcester has 25 free AA meetings as well, which is not treatment but costs nothing and needs no referral.

8 other centers are within about 14 miles, the nearest of them under a mile away in Worcester.

List price and what you actually pay are different numbers, and only the second one matters to you. The cheapest program and the one with the shortest wait are rarely the same program, and that is the real tradeoff. Ask what the daily rate becomes if coverage stops before the program does.

It is the same treatment with reporting attached, and most of the programs listed here take referrals. An approved list is kept by the court or the supervising officer, and programs move on and off it. Confirm the program is approved before the first session rather than after it.

Nothing goes out without an authorization you sign, and that authorization can be narrow. Where an employer is funding treatment, it is normally told that you attended and not what was discussed. Where a court or a license is involved, ask exactly what gets reported and to whom.
