Billings Human Services

Billing Human Services, located in Norwood, Massachusetts, provides individuals, families, and the community with a continuum of care that incorporates culturally competent behavioral health, substance use recovery, and rehab justice services. Many services can be provided at no cost if finances are an issue.

The addiction services provided at Billings Human Services include intensive outpatient, outpatient, and dual diagnosis treatment.

The Intensive Outpatient Treatment Program at Billings Human Services provides a holistic approach to treating the whole person. This program is for individuals who are not in need of detox or a highly structured environment with 24/7 care. Intensive outpatient programming promotes continued recovery through the exploration of the root cause of addiction and how to create long lasting healthy coping patterns to replace unhealthy patterning. The focus at Billings Human Services is on self awareness, relapse prevention skills, and a variety of coping skills to empower all participants to reach their fullest potential.

One step down from intensive outpatient treatment is standard outpatient care. This involves less time spent at the treatment facility each week. The full range of services provided includes individual therapy, group therapy, family therapy, couple’s counseling, Veteran’s services, medication management, recovery coaching, case management, gambling support services, and psychological evaluations. Treatment for dual diagnosis is also provided.

Dual Diagnosis, often referred to as having co-occurring disorders, is when two or more mental health concerns present themselves simultaneously. It is very common for those who struggle with addiction to also have an underlying mental health concern such as anxiety, depression, or a diagnosable psychiatric disorder. Without proper treatment of the mental health issue at hand, getting and staying sober can be difficult. By treating both the substance use disorder and the mental health needs concurrently, a greater chance for long term sobriety is achieved. At Billings Human Services, dual diagnosis can include psychiatric conditions, eating disorders, and other common mental health issues such as anxiety or depression.
