Edward M Kennedy CHC OBOT Worcester is a substance use treatment operated by Private non-profit organization in Worcester, Massachusetts.

On the services side, the facility self-reports 10 distinct service lines (Co-occurring disorder treatment, Cognitive behavioral therapy, Medication-assisted treatment (MAT), Mental health services, Motivational interviewing, Outpatient, Substance use treatment, Suicide prevention services, Telehealth, Trauma-informed care), 3 substance or condition categories treated (Alcohol, General substance use disorders, Opioids), and 8 clinical treatment approaches (Brief intervention, Cognitive behavioral therapy, Contingency management/motivational incentives, Motivational interviewing, Relapse prevention, Substance use disorder counseling, Telemedicine/telehealth therapy, Trauma-related counseling).

This record is one of the more thoroughly documented substance use treatment listings in Massachusetts: it reports 62 distinct service, population, payment, and language attributes, placing it in the top 1% of 415 facilities statewide (state median: 34). More attributes reported generally means more of your specific questions (payment type, language, care setting) are answered before you call.

Use this page as a starting screen, not a final decision. SAMHSA fields are self-reported by the facility and refreshed on a rolling basis, so wait times, bed availability, current insurance contracts, and staff credentials are best confirmed on a direct intake call to (508) 595-1150. This page is a factual directory summary, not medical advice, clinical endorsement, or a guarantee of admission.

Extended Profile: How Edward M Kennedy CHC OBOT Worcester Compares Locally

Edward M Kennedy CHC OBOT Worcester's SAMHSA record is unusually complete: 62 reported attributes places it at rank #2 of 415 Massachusetts facilities by self-reported completeness (top 1%). Narrowed to just Worcester, it ranks #1 of 27 local facilities on the same measure, a comparison the statewide figure alone can't show since a facility can be a state-wide standout while being one of several similarly detailed programs in its own city, or vice versa.

A high self-reported-completeness rank is not a clinical quality signal, SAMHSA does not audit or verify the survey responses facilities submit. It does mean this specific record answers more of the practical questions (which populations, which languages, which payment types) before you have to call and ask.
