About Spectrum Health Systems Haverhill
You’ll find Spectrum Health Systems Haverhill in Haverhill, Massachusetts, about 40 miles north of downtown Boston. As a part of New England’s leading provider of substance use disorder treatment, they’ve provided addiction and mental health services for adults since 1969. This location offers medication assisted treatment to help you start or continue recovery.
Medication for Substance Use Disorders
MAT provides a blended approach with FDA approved medications and proven therapeutic interventions. The staff prescribes methadone or Vivitrol to help you manage withdrawal symptoms and cravings while staying focused on recovery.
You’ll also participate in a complete medical evaluation and a comprehensive clinical assessment. A personalized treatment plan will be created for you, which will include educational services, and group, individual, or family counseling.
Same Day Admissions For Convenience
One thing I like about this facility is that they offer same day admissions. Deciding to seek addiction treatment is a challenging first step. They ensure that help is easily available whenever you’re ready.
You can access same day opioid treatment on Wednesdays at 6 a.m. During intake, you’ll complete toxicology tests and a physical exam to get you started.
You can also receive your first medication dose at this time if it’s deemed appropriate. The process takes about three to four hours.
Family Involvement To Encourage Recovery
I also think their emphasis on family involvement is very helpful. They understand that addiction affects your loved ones as well. They work closely with your family members throughout your journey. Your loved ones will benefit from addiction education as well as support to remain involved in your recovery.

In outpatient therapy, you’ll attend therapy sessions several times each week while living at home. This is ideal if you have a strong support system and a lower risk of relapse. Outpatient treatment offers flexibility to maintain work, school or family obligations.

Dual diagnosis programs address substance use disorders and co-occurring mental health conditions simultaneously. This integrated approach to care improves the likelihood of long term recovery and stability by addressing the root causes of addiction.
