Office-Based Addiction Treatment

Addiction is a disease of isolation. Recovery is about connection. 

We are here to connect you to the resources you need to find your path to recovery.

South Shore Health’s office-based addiction treatment (OBAT) program functions like our other primary care-based specialty programs; a team of specially-trained providers works with patients to manage a chronic condition within the walls of a doctor’s office.

Our OBAT program is based at South Shore Medical Center in Norwell, Kingston, and Quincy. 

Whether you are referred to us by a caregiver, or you reach out to us directly, our nonjudgmental, compassionate team is ready to help you to build your connection to a healthier future.
