ATTLEBORO, Mass., July 31, 2020 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- BayMark Health Services announced the opening of Health Care Resource Centers Attleboro (HCRC), its eleventh opioid treatment program in Massachusetts offering comprehensive medication-assisted treatment (MAT) with methadone. The clinic, located at 23 North Main Street in Attleboro is now accepting patients. In addition to treatment with methadone, HCRC Attleboro provides counseling and support services for those struggling with opioid use disorder, and is planning to offer buprenorphine/Suboxone® in the near future.

Additional services include addiction and relapse education, coordinated treatment during pregnancy, in-house lab services and referrals to community resources to assist patients in rebuilding their lives.

White, Ph.D., CEO of BayMark Health Services. "BayMark will continue to focus on our primary goal of expanding and enhancing treatment programs, offering each patient proven treatment options to meet their specific needs. We do this to improve the lives of not only our patients, but their families and communities."
