Addiction Medicine

Our on-call physician is available to provide consultation services to all St. Elizabeth’s Medical Center’s patients with substance use disorder who are admitted for medical, surgical, maternity, or psychiatric conditions.

St. Elizabeth’s Comprehensive Addiction Program is Boston’s oldest hospital-based program and the only Level 4 certified, medically monitored inpatient detoxification program in Massachusetts.

Patients are admitted in a hospital environment, which means around-the-clock monitoring by nursing staff, a daily physician visit, and access to all other hospital care and services. Patients also meet daily with detox counselors and engage in various therapies throughout the course of their stay.
