About Healthcare Resource Centers
HCRC Chelsea is located at 175 Crescent Avenue in Chelsea, a city of dense neighborhoods just north of Boston in Suffolk County. SAMHSA records confirm CARF accreditation and certification as an Opioid Treatment Program (OTP). The Chelsea clinic is part of HCRC’s New England network, which spans roughly two dozen locations across Connecticut, Maine, Massachusetts, and New Hampshire.
Services follow the HCRC medication-assisted treatment model. Methadone treatment is the longest-established option for opioid use disorder, prescribed in tandem with counseling, while office-based buprenorphine (Suboxone) is available at participating HCRC locations. Counseling and case management are integrated into every patient’s plan; case management can support patients meeting probation, parole, or family-court obligations when the patient authorizes it.
SAMHSA documents the Chelsea location as serving pregnant women, men, women, and Deaf or hard-of-hearing patients. The clinic’s geography places it close to the patient population of Chelsea, East Boston, Revere, Everett, and surrounding Suffolk County communities — neighborhoods where bilingual access and immigrant-serving care are often important; patients with non-English language needs should call the clinic to confirm interpreter availability. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) is the documented therapeutic modality.
The Chelsea clinic accepts Medicaid, Medicare, TRICARE, private insurance, state insurance, financial assistance, and self-pay. The location holds a 3.6-star Google rating across 37 ratings — a more mixed signal than several sister clinics — which prospective patients may want to weigh alongside a direct phone conversation with the intake team. Calling the clinic is the best way to confirm specific medications dispensed on site, dosing schedules, and what to bring to a first visit.
