24/7 Hospital-Based Detox And Stabilization

Lahey Health Behavioral Services – Tewksbury Treatment Center provides continuous hospital-based detox and stabilization for adults managing withdrawal from alcohol, opioids, and other substances. Located within a clinical campus in Tewksbury, Massachusetts, the program offers round-the-clock nursing care, physician oversight, and discharge planning that includes naloxone education to promote safety and readiness for ongoing recovery.

Medications For Addiction Treatment (MAT)

As a federally certified opioid treatment program, the center offers methadone and buprenorphine (with or without naloxone) to ease withdrawal and sustain recovery. These medications are integrated with evidence-based therapies such as motivational interviewing, relapse prevention, and trauma-focused counseling. Telehealth options extend therapeutic support beyond the facility, helping patients maintain care continuity once stabilized.

Integrated, Inclusive, And Trauma-Informed Care

Treatment plans address both substance use and co-occurring mental health disorders. The program welcomes adults of all ages, including veterans, older adults, and pregnant or postpartum women. Care is designed to support people who have experienced trauma, intimate partner violence, or sexual abuse, as well as individuals living with HIV/AIDS. Assessments, testing, and health education promote a holistic understanding of recovery. Smoking is limited to designated areas, and vaping is not permitted.

Real-World Support And Recovery Pathways

Clients have access to transportation assistance, housing support, and case management to navigate practical challenges that can affect treatment success. The Tewksbury campus also offers a short-term Transitional Support Services (TSS) residence for men, bridging medical detox and ongoing treatment in a structured, recovery-focused environment. Payment options include private insurance, Medicaid, Medicare, state-funded coverage, and sliding-scale assistance. Spanish and sign-language services ensure care is accessible to more people.

A simple A–E grade that offers a quick view of how much confidence you might place in a facility. It’s not a guarantee of quality or outcomes, but a data-informed tool to help guide your search. More on our methodology.

Commission on Accreditation of Rehabilitation Facilities

CARF reviews rehab programs to make sure they provide respectful, effective, and personalized care. For addiction treatment, CARF uses standards developed with the American Society of Addiction Medicine (ASAM), so this accreditation shows the program follows trusted, evidence-based guidelines for treating substance use.

How we research treatment facilities

Across the site, our team has conducted over 1,000 pre-admissions calls to better understand the patient experience, interviewed facility clinical leaders, performed facility background checks, and compared our information against trusted public data sources.

Our research process begins with data from the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA), accrediting bodies including The Joint Commission and CARF, government licensing agencies, and other trusted sources. From there, our team conducts significant original research, including:

- Pre-admissions calls: We speak with admissions staff to get a candid picture of patient experience.

- Background checks: We review complaints from past clients, media reports, actions taken by accrediting bodies, and positive recognition from notable organizations.

- Clinical interviews: We have in-depth conversations with clinical leadership, often lasting up to one hour, that give us a better understanding of clinical care.

- Data partnerships: We ingest and analyze exclusive data that provides information about in-network insurance status, cost, and more.

Research varies by facility. Each facility profile shows which research steps we completed and when each step was last performed. Learn more about our research process and background checks.

How we evaluate treatment facilities

These data help us develop a Trust Score for each facility—a simple letter grade that helps you assess how much confidence to place in a facility based on the information available to us. Trust Score considers accreditation, operating history, notable recognition, and concerns identified during our background check. Our Trust Score is an objective rating that is never influenced by advertiser payment. Learn more about our Trust Score methodology.

Important disclaimer

We cannot guarantee the quality of treatment at any facility. We cannot independently confirm the accuracy of every data point, and some information may become outdated or change over time. A Trust Score is a starting point, not a guarantee of treatment quality or outcomes. Please contact us if you would like to update or correct facility information.
