Behavioral Health Network (BHN) is proud to celebrate the opening of five new Medication Addiction Treatment (MAT) programs in Attleboro, Somerville, Lawrence, Brockton and Hyannis Massachusetts,  advancing our mission to provide compassionate, high-quality care for individuals and families impacted by substance use.

A Seamless Transition for Eastern Massachusetts

Earlier this year, BHN assumed operations of six Substance Use Disorder (SUD) programs across Eastern Massachusetts—ensuring continuity of care and support in each community. This transition reflects BHN’s commitment to compassionate, evidence-based treatment grounded in dignity, respect, and strong local partnerships.

Individuals now have access to a full spectrum of services, including medication-assisted treatment options like methadone, Vivitrol, and both injectable and sublingual buprenorphine (Sublocade and Brixadi), along with individual and group counseling and comprehensive case management to support long-term recovery.

Celebrating New Beginnings

Each of our grand opening celebrations brought together local leaders, BHN staff, and community members to honor the power of connection and hope. Below are highlights from each event:

At each celebration, BHN leaders including CEO Steve Winn, Medical Director Dr. Ruth Potee, Senior Vice President of Addiction & Recovery Services Tony Boswell, and local program directors delivered remarks highlighting the importance of hope, dignity, and accessible care.

Guests toured the facilities, met the BHN team, and learned more about the individualized services offered, including medication for opioid use disorder, counseling, and case management. The energy at each site reflected a shared commitment to recovery and strong community support. We are deeply grateful to our staff, partners, and community leaders who made these openings possible.

“These facilities represent BHN’s commitment to delivering care grounded in dignity, respect, and community partnership,” said Tony Boswell, BHN’s Senior Vice President of Addiction & Recovery Services. “We believe recovery is possible for everyone, and these sites will help make that a reality for many.”
