At Health Care Resource Centers (HCRC), we recognize that effective substance use disorder (SUD) treatment begins with strong collaboration across the healthcare community.
As a leading provider of medication-assisted treatment (MAT) with methadone across Massachusetts and New Hampshire, HCRC partners with hospitals, emergency departments, behavioral health professionals, and community clinicians to ensure that patients receive prompt, evidence-based care—especially during moments of crisis or transition.
We support referring providers with clear communication, rapid admission pathways, and structured OTP care that helps stabilize patients and reduce reliance on emergency services.
Healthcare and behavioral health providers on the front lines—including ED teams, urgent care centers, primary care clinics, and mental health professionals, frequently encounter individuals experiencing opioid withdrawal, overdose risk, or SUD-related complications.
In 2023, Massachusetts recorded 2,125 opioid-related overdose deaths — a 10% decrease from 2022, and the first decline since 2019. This progress highlights the critical role timely referral into evidence-based treatment plays in preventing overdose deaths and supporting stabilization.
Our programs offer safe, structured methadone treatment, daily accountability, and integrated counseling that reinforce early stabilization and long-term recovery.
Our approach extends beyond medication. We emphasize whole-person care, safety, and communication with the referring provider.
We believe that strong partnerships with medical teams create life-changing outcomes for patients and reduce strain on hospitals, urgent care centers, and outpatient clinics.
HCRC supports providers by offering:
A streamlined referral process
Support for hospitals, EDs, and behavioral health providers
Care coordination for complex cases
HCRC is committed to reducing unnecessary hospitalizations, improving stabilization rates, and supporting your patient’s transition into structured OTP care.
