Boston Medical Center – Brighton Comprehensive Addiction Program is Boston’s oldest hospital-based program and the only Level 4 certified, medically monitored inpatient detoxification program in Massachusetts.

Patients are admitted in a hospital environment, which means around-the-clock monitoring by nursing staff, a daily physician visit, and access to all other hospital care and services. Patients also meet daily with detox counselors and engage in various therapies throughout the course of their stay.
