3 reasons to choose Northeastern Center for substance use treatment

Comprehensive Care

There’s always more to substance use than “just” an addiction. We help you address related concerns, such as depression, anxiety, marital problems and more.

Accessible Options

Addressing substance use is hard. It’s even harder when you’re facing barriers to care. That’s why financial and transportation assistance are available to those who qualify.

Supportive Team

Everyone at NEC wants you to succeed. They’ll also coordinate with your family, primary care provider, probation officer, employer, etc., to give you a strong support system.

Treatment options

This isn’t a one-size-fits-all approach to care. Our comprehensive service model offers an array of services to address the complexities of substance use and related concerns. You’ll work with your care team to determine a treatment plan that’s customized to meet your needs, and you’ll walk down the path together. Your plan may include the services below.

  • Individual Therapy
  • Couples Therapy
  • Family Therapy
  • Group Therapy
  • Case Management
