ABOUT NORTHEAST ADDICTIONS TREATMENT CENTER
Located on a quiet street blocks from the Town River Bay in eastern Quincy, suburban south Boston, Northeast Addictions Treatment Center (NEATC) offers interventions and outpatient care at a variety of intensities for adults struggling with addiction. The facility can also assess and treat co-occurring disorders.
TREATMENT & ASSESSMENT
NEATC doesn't subscribe to a single treatment philosophy; rather, the organization prefers to tailor its array of methodologies to suit the individual client. Those methodologies include evidence-based practices such as cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), emotionally focused therapy (EFT), and internal family systems (IFS) therapy; 12-step immersion; and recovery coaching. Therapy is offered in individual, group, and family or couple's settings. Holistic offerings include mindfulness and art therapy, and the center is equipped to provide trauma-focused therapy.
The most intensive level of care is a day treatment program, or partial hospitalization (PHP), though the facility does not at present detail how intensive the program is. The next step down in intensity is an intensive outpatient program (IOP), which involves attending three-hour sessions at least three times a week. An outpatient program requires attendance at least once per week, and aftercare services include referrals to further care as well as housing, job, and educational resources.
STAFF CREDENTIALS
NEATC's staff includes an MD who's board certified in both internal and addiction medicine, a PhD level psychologist, and a master's level therapist. The single alum polled by Rehabs.com to date gave the facility one out of five stars for its staff's level of training and experience.
WHAT ALUMNI SAY
The single alum polled by Rehabs.com to date gave very negative feedback, describing confusion about fees that left them with nowhere to go. "They told me it was a strong 12 step program but it is not," the reviewer, E.G., added. E.G. gave NEATC three stars for its connectivity and one star in almost all of the remaining treatment metrics, including its treatment effectiveness, family participation, counseling options, and ability to treat co-occurring disorders.
Secondary sites yielded mostly positive feedback at the time of this writing, with a stellar 4.9-star average rating based on 20 reviews on Google, but on Yelp, 3.29 stars based on seven reviews.[1] [2] All three of the negative reviews came from individuals who felt they received insufficient care from the facility. "DO NOT GO HERE!! It is a very poorly run organization. They are badly understaffed, unprofessional, and overworked. All the clients suffer. There is one case manager and two therapists for 60 people. You will not get the help you need. This is a treatment mill, only interested in keeping you there as long as possible for the money," N.R. wrote in a particularly descriptive, representative review.
However, the many positive reviewers repeatedly spoke of NEATC in glowing terms, describing their experiences at the facility as life-changing. "I went through this place as well, and my entire life changed in more and better ways than I ever thought possible. I have no idea where I would be if I hadn't came to northeast . This place saved my very life," D.L. wrote in a representative review on Google.
WHAT STAFF SAY
Two staff members posting on Glassdoor had left mixed feedback at the time of this writing: a two-star rating and a five-star rating.[3] Both of the reviewers echoed alumni complaints cited above by writing that therapists had heavy workloads: "It is very fast paced! Might not be an ideal entry level position for someone unsure of their clinical skills," the positive reviewer wrote, while the negative reviewer spoke more strongly of burnt-out employees and a culture of fear. However, both reviewers praised their fellow clinical staff highly. "Great clinical staff, great patients," the two-star reviewer wrote.
FINANCING
According to NEATC's website, the organization accepts most insurance providers, and some PPO providers cover the entire cost of treatment at NEATC. The single alum polled by Rehabs.com to date gave the facility one out of five stars for its affordability.
