Lake Ave clients keep their cell phones, laptops, or tablets with them throughout treatment. We ask that they be silenced during groups to reduce distractions and interruptions.

Our experienced medical and clinical staff use a comprehensive assessment to determine which level of treatment would be most suitable. This assessment is based on the American Society of Addiction Medicine’s placement criteria, the most widely used and comprehensive set of guidelines for placement, continued stay and transfer/discharge of patients with addiction and co-occurring conditions.

We evaluate you on an individualized and personal level. Our comprehensive assessment starts with psychological and cognitive evaluations so we can better understand your history with addiction, identify any co-occurring disorders that may affect your treatment and place you in the appropriate care. This assessment will help determine our recommendation to you for PHP or IOP level of care.

If you are experiencing the effects of withdrawal or need detox, we will gladly help place you in one of the many detox programs or other substance abuse centers in Massachusetts with whom we have strong relationships, prior to you joining Lake Ave Recovery for treatment.
