Questions people ask about Commonwealth Mental Hlth and Wellness - Center

What levels of care does Commonwealth Mental Hlth and Wellness - Center offer?

They offer outpatient and telemedicine. Which one fits is usually decided by how much structure the first few weeks need, and Dorchester Center has 8 other centers within 14 miles.

Does Commonwealth Mental Hlth and Wellness - Center offer a detox?

No. The nearest place that does offer one is in Jamaica Plain, under a mile away.

Does Commonwealth Mental Hlth and Wellness - Center prescribe medication for opioid use?

They do not prescribe. If buprenorphine or methadone is part of what you need, say so on the call and ask who they refer to in Dorchester Center.

Is Commonwealth Mental Hlth and Wellness - Center an option for a veteran?

They offer a program for veterans. Whether they bill the VA is a separate question, and the answer differs between places even inside Dorchester Center.

Is there anywhere else close by?

Within 14 miles there are 8 other centers, across Jamaica Plain, Mattapan and Roxbury.

What if I cannot pay for treatment?

The number follows the level of care, and that is not something a listing page can judge for you. Some centers hold a small number of funded places and do not advertise them, so the question is worth asking out loud. Ask what someone on your plan usually ends up paying, which is a different question from the list price.

Should family be part of this?

There is normally a family component, and it is one of the better questions to put to two programs. Visiting is usually restricted in the first week and opens up later. Ask what the center expects from the household on the day the program ends.

How long will I be away?

Lengths vary by level of care more than by center, and outpatient is the long one. Outpatient programs often involve three to five sessions a week at first, then taper to one. Call (844) 822-5800 to talk through which level of care fits what you are dealing with.
