Uplift Behavioral Health Services

They provide outpatient and telemedicine. The nearest alternative is in Dedham, under a mile away, if you want something to compare it against.

No. The nearest place that does offer one is in Jamaica Plain, 3.3 miles away.

They work in Spanish as well as English. Ask whether the group sessions in West Roxbury are in Spanish too, or only the one to one ones.

They prescribe buprenorphine and naltrexone, which is the part of treatment that is prescribed rather than attended. Of the 8 centers near West Roxbury, not all of them do.

One of their programs is built for veterans, which usually means a separate group rather than the same room with a different label, and it is one of the 7 named here.

Most of the programs listed here take mandated clients. A deadline inside an order is easier to meet when the program hears about it on the first call. Keep your own dated record of attendance alongside whatever the program keeps.

Family work is a standard part of treatment, though how much of it varies a lot between centers. Where children are involved, some programs can keep a parent and child together and most cannot. Ask what the household should have in place before the first weekend at home.

Your id, your card, your prescriptions, and the name of anyone the center is allowed to speak to. Phones are allowed at some centers, restricted at others, and the rule is often different in the first week. Ask what the first twenty four hours look like, because that is what you are packing for.
