BEHAVIORAL HEALTH

Spectrum's Behavioral Health Division offers a full array of CARF accredited substance abuse and mental health treatment services. The Westborough Treatment Campus, based in Massachusetts, serves as the flagship of Spectrum Health Systems. It is the largest substance abuse treatment facility in New England, providing inpatient detoxification, transitional support services and residential rehabilitation. Spectrum also provides a comprehensive array of ambulatory services to clients at various stages of recovery at clinics located across the state.

Spectrum's full range of services offers individuals with mental health and substance abuse disorders the opportunity to transition to less intensive treatment modalities as their recovery progresses. In total, Spectrum's Behavioral Health Division serves nearly 3,000 individuals each day.


• Detoxification Services – Spectrum's 45-bed acute detoxification program provides 24-hour medical supervision and nursing care to ensure safe withdrawal from alcohol and other drugs for physically addicted adults. Emphasis is placed on engaging clients in continued treatment following the completion of detoxification. Length of stay ranges up to six days.

• Transitional Support Services – Following detoxification, Spectrum's 32-bed short-term transitional support services program further stabilizes clients and prepares them for the next phase of recovery. Intensive case management services address individual discharge needs. Length of stay is generally two to four weeks, depending on the aftercare goals of the client.

• Post Detoxification Step Down – Spectrum's 30-bed Step Down Treatment Program provides 24-hour, structured, therapeutic, short-term treatment to stabilize clients in early recovery and increase their retention in treatment. The program is designed to serve adult men who have completed medical detoxification as well as men who do not meet the criteria for medical detoxification but have a serious substance use disorder.

• Residential Rehabilitation – Spectrum operates two therapeutic community programs: a 74-bed residential program for men and women and a 30-bed residential program for men only. Clients participate in a structured weekly schedule consisting of recovery groups, individual counseling, recreational activities and relapse prevention planning. Length of stay is generally six months.

• Outpatient Counseling – Spectrum's outpatient counseling programs serve adults and adolescents with chronic substance abuse and/or mental health issues. Monthly VIVITROL injections are available, as appropriate, for the treatment of alcohol dependence. Spectrum also offers alcohol education programs for DUI offenders and batterer intervention programming for men with histories of domestic violence.

• Mental Health Services – Spectrum provides a full range of mental health services, including assessment, treatment planning, counseling, and medication management.

• Opiate Treatment – Spectrum offers comprehensive outpatient treatment services to opiate dependent individuals utilizing either Methadone or Suboxone.

Spectrum also operates a 48-bed residential treatment program for men and women at the Carroll County Long Term Treatment Facility in Sykesville, Maryland.
