First I'd like to say that I'm sorry for your troubles and wish you the best of luck. Afer experiences with CHA's substance abuse 'program' I would stay very far away from them. This includes both Somerville Hospital and Cambridge Hospital, both owned and operated by CHA. I think that several of the clinics in the city are also operated by them. I am in the midst of a possible law suit against them. I would suggest Mclean Hospital in Belmont, which is private, but may offer free care. They have a long reputation of serving those with mental illness. I would also try Baldpate Hospital in Georgetown, MA. I also think that Mass. General may have a psych unit, although I'm not too sure on that. Do you have a regular doctor who could advise you? There are doctors in SOmerville who accept Mass Health patients. The advice of a good doctor can be invaluable. Best of luck - keep us posted.
