About Hillside Detox Center

Hillside Detox Center is a substance use treatment facility located at 188 Florence Street in Chestnut Hill, Massachusetts, serving individuals across the state who need medical detox and ongoing addiction treatment. Operating 24 hours a day, the center is positioned to respond to people in acute withdrawal who require immediate, medically supervised care rather than a waitlist referral or a step down to an outpatient-only program.

The center offers three distinct levels of care: medical detox, residential treatment, and an outpatient program. That continuum matters — it means a person can move from medically supervised detox directly into residential treatment at the same facility, eliminating the disruption of a transfer during an already vulnerable period. The outpatient program then provides a structured landing point for those stepping down from residential care.

Clinical programming at Hillside Detox Center incorporates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, Group Therapy, and Family Therapy. The facility also addresses co-occurring conditions including trauma and PTSD, anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, borderline personality disorder, and eating disorders — recognizing that untreated mental health conditions frequently drive relapse and complicate withdrawal management. On-site amenities include a gym and fitness center, spa services, an entertainment theater, a recreation room, and support for service animals.

Hillside Detox Center serves a broad range of populations, including veterans, pregnant women, seniors, men, women, individuals with HIV/AIDS, people who are deaf or hard of hearing, and those with court-ordered treatment requirements. Aftercare services, sober living options, and family support services are available following treatment. The facility accepts private insurance — coverage may be fully or partially applied — as well as self-pay.

Medical Detox and Withdrawal Management in Chestnut Hill, MA

Hillside Detox Center operates around the clock at its Chestnut Hill location, providing medically supervised detox for individuals requiring structured withdrawal management. The facility's 24-hour schedule means clinical staff are present at all hours — a critical feature for anyone entering detox, where withdrawal symptoms can escalate unpredictably and require prompt intervention.

Because Hillside offers residential treatment on the same campus, patients completing the detox phase do not need to be discharged and re-admitted elsewhere. That continuity reduces gaps in care during one of the highest-risk windows in the recovery process. For individuals across Massachusetts seeking a detox center that can also hold them through early treatment, Hillside's three-level continuum — medical detox, residential, and outpatient — provides a direct path forward without facility transfers.

Co-Occurring Disorders and Dual Diagnosis Treatment

Withdrawal management is rarely the whole picture. Hillside Detox Center addresses co-occurring psychiatric conditions alongside substance use, treating diagnoses that include trauma and PTSD, anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, borderline personality disorder, and eating disorders. This dual diagnosis capability is integrated into the facility's clinical model rather than offered as a separate referral track.

Therapeutic methods include Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, Group Therapy, and Family Therapy. These modalities are used across detox and residential levels of care, giving clinicians tools to address the behavioral and psychological dimensions of addiction while the medical team manages physical withdrawal. Family Therapy and family support services also extend care beyond the individual patient — an important factor given how significantly a person's home environment affects outcomes after detox.

Who Hillside Detox Center Serves

Hillside Detox Center accepts individuals from a wide range of backgrounds and treatment circumstances. The facility is equipped to work with veterans, pregnant women, seniors and older adults, men, women, individuals with HIV/AIDS, those who are deaf or hard of hearing, and people entering treatment on a court-ordered basis. That range of served populations reflects an infrastructure — clinical, logistical, and physical — designed to accommodate needs that many standard detox programs are not set up to handle.

Aftercare planning is built into the program. Upon completing residential or detox-level treatment, individuals can access aftercare services, sober living referrals, and ongoing family support services. These post-treatment resources are especially relevant for people who have completed medically supervised detox and need a structured environment while outpatient treatment continues.

Insurance and Payment at Hillside Detox Center

Hillside Detox Center accepts private insurance and self-pay. According to the facility, treatment may be fully or partially covered depending on a patient's insurance plan. For families or individuals making a same-day decision about inpatient detox, understanding payment options upfront can remove a significant barrier to entry.

The facility can be reached directly at (781) 332-4135. Given that the center operates 24 hours a day, calls are not limited to standard business hours — an important detail for anyone facing a withdrawal situation outside of a weekday morning.
