Spectrums Merrick Street Treatment Center

Spectrums Treatment Center is a drug and alcohol rehab in Worcester, Massachusetts that provides accessible, community-based care for adults living with substance use disorders and co-occurring mental health needs.

Part of the nonprofit Spectrum Health Systems network, the Merrick Street clinic offers outpatient treatment and court-related programming.

The program emphasizes individualized care designed to support long-term recovery.

Assessing Treatment Options

Care typically begins with a clinical assessment, including physical and toxicology exams to guide an individualized treatment plan.

From there, clients may enter regular outpatient or intensive outpatient treatment, with access to medication-assisted treatment options such as methadone, buprenorphine and naltrexone.

These FDA-approved medicines can help relieve withdrawal symptoms so guests can focus on their healing in comfort.

Individualized Programming

Treatment draws on cognitive behavioral therapy, motivational interviewing, contingency management and relapse prevention, delivered through various counseling sessions.

The clinic also supports clients with trauma counseling, peer mentoring, case management, telehealth visits and DUI/DWI and second-offender aftercare programming.

The center accepts Medicaid, Medicare, TRICARE, private insurance, self-pay, state and federal funding and SAMHSA block-grant support.
