About Gifford Street Comprehensive Treatment Center
Gifford Street Comprehensive Treatment Center helps men and women heal from opioid use disorders through medication assisted treatment (MAT). It’s located in New Bedford, Massachusetts. MAT is an evidence-based technique that uses behavioral therapy alongside FDA-approved medicine to support holistic healing. This is a great place to build a strong foundation for recovery if you want to be free from opioid dependence.
The facility sits in a densely populated urban area close to public transportation, which streamlines accessibility. The neighborhood’s infrastructure supports foot traffic and provides easy access to essential services. New Bedford has a rich historical and cultural backdrop as a former whaling hub. This may create a sense of community and heritage as you seek recovery here.
The city’s coastal location means you can enjoy the calming presence of the nearby waterfront and local parks like Buttonwood Park. This can help you relax and improve your mental wellbeing. The facility itself boasts a conducive, warm and welcoming outpatient setting. You’ll benefit from the guidance and support of outstanding clinicians invested in your lasting recovery.
Many great features make their program super attractive. They provide 24/7 appointment scheduling and support same day help. They even offer take-home dosing. Plus, you can fund your treatment using Medicaid, Medicare and many commercial insurances. Self-pay options are also available if you’re uninsured.
You’ll first undergo comprehensive assessment or evaluation during intakes to help the clinical team identify treatment needs. They’ll then create a personalized treatment plan that factors your short and long term recovery goals. Such a plan will include the level of therapeutic support and medication type that will work best for your unique case. This will either be methadone or Suboxone. Both meds help you handle withdrawal by reducing symptoms and curbing cravings. Subsequently you’ll undergo counseling to tackle the underlying emotional issues fueling your opioid use, build healthy coping skills and prevent relapse.
You’ll benefit from both individual and group counseling facilitated by a licensed therapist. Individual sessions are confidential treatment environments that feature focused feedback. Group sessions allow you to interact and share support with others who are working to establish a foundation for recovery.
