Editorial Review

<p><strong>ABOUT BOSTON MEDICAL CENTER - FASTER PATHS TO TREATMENT</strong></p> <p>A program of Boston Medical Center (BMC), Faster Paths to Treatment is <strong>an urgent care center for individuals struggling with substance abuse disorders</strong>. The program offers education on <a href="https://www.recovery.org/pro/articles/why-are-opiate-addicts-so-hard-to-treat/" target="_blank">opioid overdose</a> and “rapidly” evaluates, motivates, and <strong>refers clients</strong> towards more appropriate levels of treatment.</p> <p>Faster Paths is located on the 1st floor on the BMC Yawkey Center and is open Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. <strong>Walk-in appointments</strong> are accepted.</p> <p><strong>TREATMENT & ASSESSMENT</strong></p> <p>Faster Paths to treatment is primarily a source of evaluation and referral to addiction treatment. Accordingly, assessments are conducted and subsequent <strong>referrals made for medication-assisted treatment (MAT) therapies</strong>, like Suboxone and Vivitrol, case management, and community supports.</p> <p>While the facility does provide treatment onsite, Faster Paths serves as an <strong>entry-point for individuals who may require treatment</strong>, whether its inpatient- or outpatient-based detox, various levels of treatment, sober housing, or aftercare services.</p> <p><strong>STAFF CREDENTIALS</strong></p> <p>Per the program’s webpage, clients have access to one of the hospital’s primary care doctors and receive follow-up care from a <strong>licensed alcohol and drug counselor (LADC)</strong>. Of the two alumni surveyed by Rehabs.com to date, one awarded staff level of experience and training a three-star rating, and the other awarded this category a perfect five-star rating. </p> <p><strong>WHAT ALUMNI SAY</strong></p> <p>Feedback from the pair of Rehabs.com survey respondents to date was highly positive. One referred to the staff as “patient, caring and fair,” and found relief in the non-judgmental environment. The alum gave five stars overall to treatment effectiveness and added: "Compassionate comes to mind.Friendly and they don't judge." The other alum to surveyed to date gave perfect five-star ratings for every category, including its admissions and discharge procedures, which is the primary service of Faster Paths.</p> <p><strong>FINANCING</strong></p> <p>There is currently no information provided on the program’s webpage regarding its treatment costs; however, the two Rehabs.com survey respondents to date both provided five out of five stars for the center's affordability.</p>
