Northeastern Health System offers comprehensive mental health services alongside specialized hospitalization and inpatient care. Inpatient hospitalization provides 24/7 medical supervision and support for individuals experiencing acute mental health crises or severe substance use disorders that require intensive monitoring. The facility's mental health services address co-occurring disorders, trauma, and behavioral health conditions that often accompany addiction. These integrated programs recognize that sustainable recovery requires treating the whole person, not just the addiction itself. Seniors receive specialized care that accounts for age-related medical complexities, medication interactions, and the social factors that may contribute to substance use in older adults.
Northeastern Health System accepts multiple forms of payment to ensure cost is never a barrier to treatment. The facility works with self-pay patients, Medicaid, Medicare, private health insurance, and military insurance (VA/Tricare). Insurance plans are required under the Mental Health Parity Act to provide equal coverage for mental health and substance use disorder treatment as they do for other medical conditions. If you have questions about your specific coverage or whether your insurance will be accepted, our admissions team can verify your benefits and explain any out-of-pocket costs upfront.
