Addiction Resource Score
Scoring is assigned by a proprietary system which helps surface key metrics that determine quality. The 10-point scale factors in categories such as operations, customer satisfaction, and trust metrics.
We understand that choosing an addiction treatment center can be overwhelming, especially with so many options, promises, and marketing messages. That's why we've developed a clear, standardized rating system designed to cut through the noise and highlight what truly matters: safety, quality of care, and transparency. Our goal is to give individuals and families the information they need to make confident, informed decisions during a critical time.
In this guide, we explain exactly how we rate treatment centers—from accreditation and staff credentials to therapy options, facility environment, and family involvement. You'll see how we assign scores, award badges, and update listings to ensure accuracy and fairness. Most importantly, our system focuses on elevating centers that prioritize ethical, evidence-based care, not just those with the best marketing. This way, you can trust that the ratings you see reflect meaningful standards that help you find the right fit for lasting recovery.

Adolescents and adults in Haverhill, Massachusetts may get comprehensive treatment for drug addiction and mental health issues at NFI – Structured Outpatient Addiction Program (SOAP). The North American Family Institute (NAFI), a group committed to assisting at-risk people and families in realizing their full potential, provides this program as part of its larger services. The Normative Community methodology—a strategy intended to promote constructive community involvement and personal development—and community-based treatment are at the core of NFI’s methodology.
NFI Massachusetts was established in 1974, at a time when the Commonwealth was undergoing progressive change in its handling of social concerns. Dr. Yitzhak Bakal, a pioneer in community-based services for adjudicated kids, founded the organization, which has now expanded to include a variety of cutting-edge initiatives. NFI Massachusetts started out with an Outreach and Tracking program and has now grown to include more than thirty programs. State departments, including the Department of Mental Health (DMH), the Department of Developmental Services (DDS), the Department of Children and Families (DCF), and the Youth Services (DYS), in addition to other organizations like the Massachusetts Rehabilitation Commission (MRC) and the Massachusetts Behavioral Health Partnership (MBHP), provide funding for these services.
A number of crucial services are offered by NFI’s Structured Outpatient Addiction Program, such as treatment, evaluations, and care that are gender-and culture-responsive as well as trauma-informed. The program’s main objectives are to assist clients overcome obstacles and provide the groundwork for a long-lasting rehabilitation by fostering their social, communication, problem-solving, and leadership abilities. People are urged to interact with experts and peers in a nurturing setting, emphasizing the Normative Approach, which promotes personal development via teamwork and community.
The North American Family Institute, which runs human services initiatives in 10 states, is connected to NFI Massachusetts. Because of the high degree of individualization in their services, patients may acquire practical life skills, gain personal insight, and get therapy in the least restrictive environments. In order to provide clients with a network of enduring connections, this holistic approach actively involves family members, schools, church groups, and other service organizations in the treatment process.
NFI Massachusetts improves the efficacy of its programs by emphasizing community ties and supporting relationships, which helps clients maintain the progress they achieve throughout therapy and lowers the risk of relapse. By using an integrated strategy, NFI builds normative and compassionate communities that enable people to flourish regardless of how complicated their demands may be.
