Physicians, nurses, and social workers form part of a multidisciplinary team that provides care. Patients in Mattapan and the surrounding neighborhood can benefit from the OBAT program, which provides primary care, behavioral health, and substance abuse treatment. We try to treat the complete person, not just the addiction, in this integrated health care strategy, which helps to promote wellness and recovery from substance use disorders.

Client discussion groups with a facilitator gather every day to discuss life concerns relating to substance abuse. Clients attend psychoeducational sessions to learn about the physiological, psychological, and societal effects of substance abuse.
One-on-one, goal-oriented sessions assist clients in determining an appropriate location for treatment continuation.

Staff can now engage the fathers of the children, the women’s partners, and other extended family members through our federally funded Boston Consortium of Services for Latino Families in Recovery (BCSLFR) to help increase family functioning and build the women’s and children’s social support networks.
