The center will offer care coordination and contact with the Recovery Community as part of treatment, as well as other local community resources. It also offers special services for pregnant women.
People can access treatment through self-referral, referral by a primary care provider, follow-up after a hospitalization or can just walk in. The center works with low-income patients and commercial insurance. Treatment for adolescents will be added as staffing levels increase in the coming months. The Marshfield center is the latest commitment by the Health System to help people combat alcohol and substance use disorder.
