About us
Spectrum Health Services, located in Weymouth, Massachusetts, offers a stabilization program for adult men in a stately, two-story facility adjacent to South Shore Hospital. Founded in 1969, Spectrum Health Systems provides short-term stabilization for emergency cases, followed by a comprehensive assessment and the initiation of a long-term recovery plan by a dedicated case management team. This plan may include traditional counseling, emotional management classes, group therapy, and other supportive measures.
Given that the Weymouth center at 861 Main Street focuses solely on stabilization, clients requiring longer-term inpatient care are often referred to Spectrumโs residential facility in Westborough. Additionally, there is an outpatient clinic in Weymouth providing individual, family, and group counseling. For those involved in the justice system or under court order, referrals may be made to their Worcester site.
Since its inception, Spectrum Health Systems has grown to become New Englandโs leading provider of substance use disorder treatment, aiding thousands of individuals in overcoming addiction to lead fulfilling and productive lives. Currently, Spectrum offers a continuum of CARF-accredited addiction and mental health treatment services across Massachusetts, serving over 6,000 individuals daily. This continuum allows clients to transition to less intensive treatment modalities as their recovery progresses or to access a higher level of care if needed.
Spectrumโs comprehensive range of services includes inpatient detoxification, clinical stabilization, residential treatment, outpatient counseling, medication for substance use disorders, mobile opioid use disorder treatment, and peer recovery support. They also operate residential programs for adolescents and young adults committed to the Massachusetts Department of Youth Services and contract with state and county correctional authorities to provide specialized programming for justice-involved individuals.
Education is the cornerstone of all Spectrum programs. Initially, motivational interviewing and enhancement techniques are employed to engage clients in treatment and promote their active participation. Individual and group sessions educate clients about substance use disorders, treatment options, overdose prevention, and recovery skills. Spectrum utilizes evidence-based curricula to teach clients about urges and cravings, internal and external triggers, coping skills, anger management techniques, interpersonal relations, parenting skills, relapse prevention, and more. Continuing care planning ensures clients are prepared for the next step in their recovery journey.
Spectrum Health Systems is accredited by the Commission on Accreditation of Rehabilitation Facilities (CARF) and holds a state license in West Virginia, reflecting their commitment to maintaining high standards of care and providing effective treatment for mental health and substance use disorders.

We understand that choosing an addiction treatment center can be overwhelming, especially with so many options, promises, and marketing messages. Thatโs why weโve 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 centersโfrom accreditation and staff credentials to therapy options, facility environment, and family involvement. Youโll 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.
