Medical Wellness Center
Part of the High Point Treatment Center network, Women’s Addiction Treatment Center (WATC) is a residential treatment program with detox for women and individuals identifying as female in New Bedford, Massachusetts. High Point Treatment screens potential residents and reviews referrals from other substance use treatment and detox facilities to ensure WATC is a good fit.
Treatment includes counseling for substance use, including relapse and overdose prevention, as well as life skills training, vocational services, and aftercare planning. Patients attend daily AA or NA group meetings at the center. WATC refers clients to outside resources for mental health treatment after completing the stay.
WATC seeks to help participants detox safely and achieve long-term sobriety, including participants who recently experienced homelessness. The High Point Treatment Center network accepts MassHealth (Medicaid) and is willing to work with uninsured and underinsured individuals by offering a sliding fee scale.
