In Massachusetts, approximately 50,000 patients suffering from substance use disorder seek help by entering detox each year, yet only 3,000 beds are available for next-step treatment. These treatment gaps have ignited a nationwide opioid epidemic, with heroin use nearly tripling since 2003. To offer Massachusetts residents an avenue for sustained, meaningful recovery, Recovery Centers of America (RCA), provider of the finest inpatient and outpatient drug and alcohol treatment programs, has opened Boston Center for Addiction Treatment (B•CAT) in Danvers.

The Boston Center for Addiction Treatment is one of two centralized recovery campuses RCA will operate in Massachusetts. The company completed a $20 million renovation to transform the 140,000-square-foot former Hunt Hospital into a state-of-the-art treatment center that will employ up to 300 professionals.

With specialists in opioid, heroin, and alcohol addiction, in addition to experts in pharmaceutical drug abuse and party-circuit drugs such as benzos, ecstasy, cocaine, and crack, RCA will offer treatment programs designed to address co-occurring disorders and psychiatric specialties including anxiety, trauma, depression, and bi-polar disorder.

The Boston Center for Addiction Treatment is led by Brad Greenstein who has over 17 years of experience in the behavioral health industry and a recognized expert for the innovative leadership he brought to both Spectrum Health Systems and Las Vegas Recovery Center. He has served on the board of a number of community and national non-profit agencies including Foundation for Recovery, Inc., PACT Coalition for Safe and Drug Free Communities, and was appointed by Nevada Governor Brian Sandoval to serve on the State of Nevada Mental Health Planning and Advisory Council along with the State of Nevada Substance Abuse Prevention and Treatment Advisory Board.

Greenstein leads a multidisciplinary team of doctors, nurses, clinicians and care advocates, offering patients RCA’s integrated care model, incorporating addiction treatment, primary care, and other medical services to treat the whole person.

“There is an overwhelming need for quality treatment options in Massachusetts,” says Greenstein. “The RCA approach dignifies families and patients struggling with this disease, and offers personalized treatment plans that are scientifically proven to be effective. We are looking forward to bringing much-needed relief to this state.”

The Boston Center for Addiction Treatment includes an in-patient facility that offers residential living accommodations in a dramatic, contemporary environment designed to eradicate the stigma of addiction, its treatment, and recovery. With the belief that people who are treated well achieve meaningful recovery faster, the facility will provide a variety of conveniences including fitness and holistic therapy programs, farm-to-table style dining, black car service, and CrossFit and yoga classes open to the recovery community in the Greater Boston area. Public training and meeting rooms will be available at no charge to the community for 12-step meetings, family support groups, and a variety of professional education programs. Additional assistance is offered through Wicked Sober’s on-site drop-in center.
