About

About Brigham and Womens Faulkner Hosp

Brigham and Women’s Faulkner Hospital is located at 1153 Centre Street in the Jamaica Plain neighborhood of Boston, Massachusetts, and is part of the Mass General Brigham health system. The Addiction Recovery Program is one of the hospital’s specialty services and is built into a community teaching hospital that also offers comprehensive medical, surgical, and psychiatric care for residents of southwest Boston and surrounding suburbs.

Clinical services within the Addiction Recovery Program span medical detox, outpatient care, and telehealth options. Medical detox provides hospital-level care for adults withdrawing from alcohol, opioids, benzodiazepines, or other substances, with monitoring and medication support that a stand-alone clinic cannot provide. Outpatient services continue the recovery work after detox, with cognitive behavioral therapy, medication-assisted treatment for opioid use disorder, and individual and group counseling forming the core of the clinical model.

The hospital affiliation matters in practice. Patients can be connected to Brigham and Women’s Faulkner’s psychiatry, primary care, and rehabilitation services, which is particularly useful for those with co-occurring mental health conditions or chronic medical issues. American Sign Language services are available for Deaf and Hard of Hearing patients, and the hospital’s broader interpretation and translation resources support patients who do not speak English at home.

The program is accredited through The Joint Commission and is registered with SAMHSA. Insurance coverage is broad: Medicaid, Medicare, private insurance, TRICARE, state-funded insurance, and self-pay are all listed as accepted payment options. To begin admission, call (617) 983-7474 to reach the Addiction Recovery Program directly or (617) 983-7000 for the hospital’s main line. With a 3.2-star Google rating across more than 370 reviews, BWFH is one of Boston’s recognized academic-affiliated hospitals.

Medical Detox and Withdrawal Management Services

Brigham and Women's Faulkner Hospital provides medically supervised detox within a full-service hospital environment, ensuring comprehensive medical oversight during withdrawal management. The facility's medical detox program operates with 24/7 medical supervision, critical for managing complex withdrawal symptoms from opioids and other substances.

As part of a 171-bed teaching hospital, the detox center has immediate access to emergency medical services, laboratory facilities, and specialized medical consultations when complications arise during the detoxification process. This hospital-based approach provides an added layer of safety for patients experiencing severe withdrawal symptoms or those with underlying medical conditions requiring monitoring.

Opioid Detox and Co-occurring Disorder Treatment

The addiction recovery program specializes in opioid detox protocols while simultaneously addressing co-occurring mental health disorders through integrated dual diagnosis treatment. Medical staff coordinate withdrawal management with psychiatric care to address both substance use and mental health symptoms during the critical detox phase.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) forms a core component of the treatment approach, helping patients develop coping strategies for both addiction recovery and mental health stability. This dual focus proves essential for patients whose substance use disorders developed alongside or as a result of underlying psychiatric conditions.

Levels of Care and Treatment Progression

Following medical detox, patients can transition to residential treatment or outpatient programs based on their clinical needs and recovery goals. This continuum of care allows for seamless treatment progression without transferring to different facilities, maintaining therapeutic relationships and treatment momentum.

The hospital accepts multiple insurance types including Medicaid, Medicare, private insurance, TRICARE, and offers self-pay options. Located in Jamaica Plain at 1153 Centre Street, the facility serves southwest Boston and surrounding suburban communities with accessible addiction treatment services.

Accessibility and Specialized Population Services

Brigham and Women's Faulkner Hospital provides specialized services for deaf and hard of hearing individuals seeking addiction treatment, addressing communication barriers that often prevent access to quality detox services. This commitment to accessibility extends beyond language interpretation to cultural competency in serving diverse populations.

The hospital's Joint Commission accreditation demonstrates adherence to national safety and quality standards specifically important for medical detox services. Founded in 1900, the facility combines over a century of medical expertise with modern addiction treatment protocols.
