Drug addiction can affect every part of your life, but recovery is possible with the right support. At the Massachusetts Center for Addiction in Quincy, we provide a structured drug addiction treatment program designed to help you stabilize, understand your addiction, and rebuild your life with confidence. Our clinicians combine evidence-based care with compassionate guidance so you always feel supported, respected, and encouraged at every stage of treatment.
Effective treatment requires more than stopping use. Addiction is a complex condition involving physical, emotional, and behavioral patterns. Our program focuses on treating the whole person — not just the symptoms — so you can build a foundation for lasting recovery.
During treatment, you’ll work closely with a team of licensed professionals who help you understand what contributed to your addiction, how to manage cravings and stress, and how to create new patterns that support a healthier lifestyle. Therapy, skill-building, mental health support, and relapse-prevention planning all play an essential role in the process.
According to the National Institute on Drug Abuse, more than 20 million Americans struggle with substance use disorders each year, underscoring how essential effective, evidence-based treatment has become. The Massachusetts Department of Public Health continues to report one of the highest opioid-related overdose rates in the Northeast, highlighting the urgent need for accessible treatment across the state.
When you arrive at MCA, we take the time to understand your needs, goals, and personal history. This initial assessment guides your individualized treatment plan and ensures you receive the level of care that will help you succeed.
Our clients often work through treatment in phases. Some begin with detox or inpatient care (through our trusted partners), while others enter directly into our outpatient levels of care. No matter where you start, we help you move through treatment at a pace that feels safe and appropriate.
Because detox and inpatient care are often essential first steps, we maintain long-standing partnerships with reputable, accredited facilities in Massachusetts. If you require medical detox or residential treatment, we’ll help you connect with the right program and coordinate your transition into our outpatient services once you’re ready. This seamless connection reduces stress and ensures continuity of care.
SAMHSA reports that more than 40% of people entering addiction treatment require medical detox before beginning therapy, especially those withdrawing from opioids, benzodiazepines, or alcohol.
Many clients step into our Partial Hospitalization Program when they need structured day treatment but can safely live at home. PHP offers intensive therapy, skill development, and daily clinical support. You’ll spend your days focused on healing, then return to a familiar environment in the evenings. This combination helps you practice new coping tools while remaining closely connected to your treatment team.
For those who need consistent therapy while managing work, school, or family responsibilities, our Intensive Outpatient Program provides the flexibility and support necessary for real-world recovery. IOP includes group therapy, individual counseling, relapse-prevention planning, and help managing daily stressors. This level of care allows you to rebuild stability while still receiving meaningful clinical support.
As clients gain confidence and stability, outpatient treatment becomes an important step. This level of care focuses on strengthening relapse-prevention skills, addressing lingering challenges, and maintaining accountability. Outpatient therapy builds long-term support into your lifestyle so recovery remains sustainable long after your program ends.
Medication can be a vital tool for some individuals, especially those recovering from opioid or alcohol use disorders. Through our own services and trusted medical partners, clients may access medications that reduce cravings and support long-term stabilization. MAT is always combined with therapy to ensure a balanced, evidence-based approach.
Early recovery often requires additional structure, and many clients benefit from MAT-friendly sober living homes. These environments offer stability, community, and accountability while you continue treatment. We help clients find reputable sober living programs that align with their needs and support their progress.
Choosing a treatment program is one of the most important decisions you’ll ever make. At MCA, we offer:
Recovery is personal — and the experiences of others can be a powerful reminder that healing is possible. Our clients and their families often share how MCA helped them regain their lives, rebuild relationships, and find hope again.

Our admissions team will walk you through everything you need to know, including what to expect during your first day, what to bring, and how to prepare mentally and physically.

Finances should never be a barrier to lifesaving care.

Our admissions team can review your benefits, explain your coverage, and help you understand any remaining costs so you can focus on recovery, not paperwork.
