Rehab in Quincy: What to Know
As the largest city on Boston’s South Shore and the seat of Norfolk County, the Massachusetts rehab directory lists 19 treatment providers in and around Quincy. Treatment options here span detox, residential and a large number of outpatient and dual diagnosis programs. This is important because it allows residents to find a broad range of addiction treatment options close to home.
Quincy was one of the first cities to understand how critical harm reduction is for a community. Beginning in 2010, the Quincy police department was among the first in the country to equip its patrol officers with naloxone. This important harm reduction measure was credited with reversing hundreds of overdoses and became the blueprint for cities nationwide.
Locally, care runs through providers such as Bay State Community Services, Manet Community Health Center and Bay Cove. Additionally, the Massachusetts Substance Use Helpline is free and available around the clock to help connect residents with the care they need.
Although opioid use disorder and fentanyl still drive most of the harm statewide, the recent trend indicates that Quincy is following the state’s overall decline in overdose deaths. This improvement has been largely attributed to wider access to naloxone, the medication that reverses an opioid overdose.
Cost of Rehab in Quincy
Cost of treatment in Quincy depends on a wide range of factors, including the level of care, treatment duration, whether a program is public or private and what services are covered by your insurance. The most affordable treatment option is outpatient counseling, whereas medical detox and residential care cost more because they include around-the-clock supervision and medication-assisted treatment usually falls somewhere in between. While local figures track closely with Massachusetts averages, most people pay far less than the sticker price once insurance, MassHealth or a sliding fee scale is applied.
Keep in mind that most people do not pay these amounts out of pocket. Because Massachusetts expanded Medicaid, MassHealth covers the full continuum of substance use care for qualifying members, often at little or no cost. Another coverage option for the uninsured is through the Bureau of Substance Addiction Services, which covers the cost of some state-funded programs. Treatment scholarships and financial assistance can also help close the gap for private programs.
How to Pay for Rehab in Quincy
Across the treatment centers listed for Quincy, most accept self-payment and private insurance and also bill MassHealth or Medicare. Other options include financial assistance, sliding-scale fees and TRICARE. The cards below show how many Quincy programs in our directory accept each payment type.
Medicare
Medically necessary addiction treatment, including inpatient care, outpatient services and counseling, is covered by Medicare for eligible older adults and people with qualifying disabilities.
Because your coverage and copays vary depending on the specifics of your plan, read how Medicare and private insurance apply to rehab before you enroll.
Medicaid (MassHealth)
In Massachusetts, MassHealth, the state’s medicaid program, was expanded. This expanded coverage to include services such as substance use care. Examples include acute treatment services (detox), clinical stabilization, outpatient care and medication-assisted treatment utilizing methadone, buprenorphine and naltrexone.
For residents with MassHealth, this typically means that there are little to no out-of-pocket expenses at one of the ten Quincy programs that accept it.
Military Benefits
Veterans can access care through the VA or at one of six Quincy programs that accept TRICARE.
Other addiction resources for veterans and military families are available regionally.
Insurance and Private Pay
Under state law, health plans active in Massachusetts must cover mental health and substance use treatment on the same level as medical care. Keep in mind that policies differ, so your deductible and network status can affect your personal expenses. To avoid any unexpected costs, call the facility’s admissions department to verify your benefits before you enroll.

Levels of Care Available in Quincy
Treatment centers in Quincy offer most major levels of care. This includes medical detox and residential inpatient programs, partial hospitalization, outpatient clinics, dual diagnosis treatment and sober living. The cards below show how many programs in each category are available locally.
Medical detox
For many people with severe dependence on alcohol, opioids or other substances, medical detox is a process where you receive close medical monitoring and medications to safely manage your withdrawal symptoms before you move on to the next phase of treatment.
Inpatient and residential rehab
Individuals who need close medical monitoring or a break from a risky, unstable home environment often benefit from Inpatient rehab, which provides 24-hour care in a structured residential setting.
Partial hospitalization and outpatient
For a person who has family, school or work responsibilities but also needs intensive treatment, partial hospitalization programs offer the care they need. For those requiring a less intensive treatment option, Outpatient care is widely available in Quincy.
Dual diagnosis care
Findings indicate that treating co-occurring disorders, such as depression, anxiety or PTSD alongside a substance use disorder, is more successful than treating either alone. Individuals struggling with both can find thirteen programs in Quincy to meet their needs.
Sober living and aftercare
Sober living homes provide structure in a substance-free environment for people leaving treatment. Ongoing aftercare, which includes counseling and peer support, also helps protect recovery for Quincy residents, with additional options across the South Shore and Boston.
