What the SAMHSA Record Shows About North Charles Institute for the Addict

North Charles Institute for the Addict is a substance use treatment operated by a private non-profit organization entity in Cambridge, Massachusetts. The facility's N-SUMHSS record lists 3 primary care modalities (outpatient, detox, telehealth), which shapes both how treatment is delivered and how intake is scheduled. Medication-Assisted Treatment (MAT) is reported as available, meaning FDA-approved medications such as methadone, buprenorphine, or naltrexone may be combined with counseling for opioid or alcohol use disorder. The full postal address on file is 2500 Massachusetts Avenue, Cambridge, MA 02140.

On the services side, the facility self-reports 11 distinct service lines, 3 substance or condition categories treated, 8 clinical treatment approaches, and serves 3 specific population groups with 0 languages of care. Those counts give a rough signal of programmatic breadth — a higher number of approaches and populations usually indicates more structured clinical programming rather than a single-modality operation. Payment-wise, the record confirms Medicaid, Medicare, private insurance, a sliding-fee scale, payment assistance, plus 6 specific payment methods enumerated in the survey.
