About Lahey Health Behavioral Services
Beth Israel Lahey Health Behavioral Services operates a Tewksbury site at 365 East Street, Saunders Building, Suite D-1, in the heart of the Merrimack Valley. The center is part of BILH’s regional behavioral health network and offers outpatient substance use disorder treatment, mental health counseling, mobile crisis intervention, family programs, and collaborative care coordination with primary care providers. It serves Middlesex County and surrounding communities along the I-93 corridor.
For patients with substance use disorders, the Tewksbury location functions as a community access point. Outpatient counseling, group support, and medication-assisted treatment coordination are delivered alongside parallel mental health services so co-occurring depression, anxiety, and trauma can be addressed in the same visit cycle. The Adult and Youth Mobile Crisis Intervention service is available 24/7 across the BILH region, providing in-home or community-based stabilization for residents in psychiatric or substance use crisis.
BILH Behavioral Services explicitly serves veterans, pregnant women, older adults, and patients living with HIV/AIDS, and the SAMHSA listing confirms accommodations for deaf and hard-of-hearing patients. Family programs at the Community Behavioral Health Center extend care to loved ones, and collaborative care management embeds behavioral health support inside primary care so patients can address substance use without leaving their medical home.
The Tewksbury site holds CARF accreditation and carries a federal Opioid Treatment Program designation. Payment options include MassHealth (Medicaid), Medicare, commercial insurance, state insurance, sliding-scale fees, self-pay, and financial assistance. The combination of outpatient continuity, crisis response, and behavioral health depth makes Tewksbury a practical entry point for patients who need community-based substance use care without leaving Middlesex County.
