Addiction Services
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.
Substance use disorder is a disease that takes a terrible toll on those afflicted with it, as well as their families and support systems. Bay Cove specializes in providing a continuum of substance use disorder services, including detoxification, short-term residential programming, individual and group counseling, and outpatient treatment for opiate addiction.
We design and operate our programs with the understanding that addiction is a medical condition and that with effective, long-term treatment tailored to individual needs, people with alcohol and/or drug addiction can recover and lead the lives they want to live.
The ultimate goal of addiction treatment is to enable an individual to achieve lasting abstinence, but the immediate goals are rooted in harm reduction: to reduce drug use, improve a person's ability to function, and minimize the medical and social complications of substance use disorder.

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.”
“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.”
