About Volunteers of America Behavioral Health Services
Volunteers of America Massachusetts (VOAMASS) offers outpatient behavioral health services that include treatment for substance use disorders. Their expert clinicians can help you recover from co occurring conditions as well. They’re all about equipping you with the tools to navigate life challenges without using substances. They’ve two community outpatient clinics in Massachusetts, including this one in Taunton.
GATRA has bus routes serving Attleboro, Taunton and nearby communities. This is a good transport option for locals seeking care here. Folks coming from Fall River, New Bedford and Providence are better off driving or using rideshare. The location might be easy to access directly via routes 44, 138 and 140. This will depend on where you’re driving from though.
The thing I appreciate most about this facility is their emphasis on whole person care. This takes care of all aspects of your wellbeing, not just the symptoms of your addiction. Their clinical care team is super efficient and knowledgeable. A thorough evaluation enables them to identify your needs and develop tailored strategies for interventions or prevention.
The facility also offers medication assisted treatment to help those struggling with opioid use and alcoholism. This technique uses meds approved by the FDA to help you curb cravings and eliminate painful withdrawal symptoms. This is backed up with counseling to tackle the psychological aspect of addiction and help you reach long term recovery.
This integrated approach facilitates complete recovery. The care team conducts a thorough evaluation of medication needs and prescriptions for those requiring this type of treatment. This ensures tailored medication management. I think this is their most compelling service given the prevalence of opioid use issues in Massachusetts.
Their full suite of recovery support services includes recovery coaching and recovery support navigation. Recovery coaches can help you stay on track with your goals and connect you with the resources you need for lasting success.
The facility understands that complete wellness is impacted by factors like gainful employment, stable housing and community support. This informs their integrated and wraparound approach to care including help with affordable housing, job placement and medical care. They can coordinate treatment across the entire VOAMASS care team when necessary to ensure your complete wellbeing.
