Michelle’s Story

At 21, Michelle had her own apartment, a psychology degree and a promising future. But she lost it all when she became addicted to alcohol and opiates. After several attempts at detox, Michelle found Bay Cove, where she was challenged to fight for her sobriety, and given the tools, techniques, and support she needed.

Today, she’s been clean and sober for many years, and is now helping others receive the life-changing services she did.

  • Mirasol Center For Healing

    The Mirasol Center for Healing (MCH) is a trauma-responsive clinical stabilization program for adults. We prioritize admission for those who struggle with substance use and homelessness

    Mirasol offers a menu of harm reduction and substance use treatment services. While these services are open to anyone who meets eligibility criteria, the program was designed to meet the needs of those who are homeless and live unsheltered in the “Mass & Cass” area of Boston. Mirasol is intended to be a space where individuals feel safe from the rigors of the street.

    In collaboration with our partners– the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, the City of Boston, and Boston Health Care for the Homeless Program–we provide outreach, basic survival support, and transportation to The Mirasol Center.

At Bay Cove, I was exposed to a positive way of life in a comforting and safe environment, and my counselors helped me by giving me respect, by having expectations of me, and providing me the structure I needed to get well. They reconnected me to who I was before my addiction.

Now, I’m working to help others—working for the moment when I stop seeing the disease in someone’s eyes, and start seeing the hope. I’ve been where they were, and I’ve come a long way. Today is pretty amazing.
— Michelle
One of the things that was so attractive about working at Bay Cove was that, because of my experience in the field, I understood the complexity of things clients deal with. It’s systemic and really challenging for them to manage substance use disorder, homelessness, and being uninsured all at the same time.

I now have colleagues under the same organization that are helping people address the concerns and challenges that one division alone or multiple outside organizations could not do. Having everything here, using the same language, looking at the same mission, being able to coordinate care… It’s promising having everything under one umbrella.
