Drug addiction does not discriminate, and it can have a devastating effect on people from all walks of life. Effective treatment is a necessary part of the recovery process, but many people put off getting the help they need because of concerns about the cost or stigma attached to addiction. However, Massachusetts drug rehabs are here to meet the growing demand for accessible and high-quality addiction treatment. Medicaid, known as MassHealth here, can make drug rehab affordable and accessible to more people than ever before.
At BrightView, our team works diligently with MassHealth to provide quality addiction treatment to everyone who walks through our doors. We are
passionate about making high-quality drug addiction treatment available to anyone who needs it. Our compassionate and friendly team can assist with reviewing your benefits, answer your questions, and even arrange same-day enrollment in treatment in many cases.

The Need for Medicaid Drug Rehab in Massachusetts
The MassHealth program serves more than one in four people in Massachusetts. Nearly two million residents receive full MassHealth benefits. Since February of 2020, the MassHealth caseload has increased by 230,000 people.1
The myriad pressures of living with insufficient income can compound the struggles of addiction. Studies show that most people in Massachusetts who struggle with a substance use disorder do not receive adequate treatment.2 For many, the issues stem from a cycle of poverty reinforced by the hardships of living in western Massachusetts’ tumultuous economy.
Many people may not be aware that they can use MassHealth benefits for addiction treatment. MassHealth can also help reduce the burden of addiction treatment-adjacent and elevated costs such as transportation, child care, mental health services, prescription drugs, and gender-affirming care.
