Casa Esperanza has Openings for Acute Treatment Services/Detox Services at Conexiones in Tewksbury!

We are thrilled to announce that earlier this summer, Casa Esperanza opened up the first fully bilingual, bicultural-integrated Acute Treatment Services center (Conexiones ATS-Detox) in Massachusetts, operating alongside the existing Conexiones Clinical Stabilization Services CSS program located on the Tewksbury Hospital campus. Breaking ground on this new level of care, Casa will be able to medically and clinically stabilize, treat, and support patients seeking help for Substance Use Disorders (SUDs) and other co-occurring conditions, from the first steps in their recovery journey and expand access to care for the Latine community. 


Conexiones ATS-Detox provides bilingual (Spanish/English) evidence-based medically monitored inpatient withdrawal management and wrap-around recovery support services. Patients receive a full medical assessment upon admission and complete a comprehensive biopsychosocial. At the moment we have open beds and are actively seeking new referrals as we expand our mission to provide substance use disorder and mental health treatment services focused on the Latine community in the Commonwealth. 


For intake and referral information, please contact us at (617) 445-1123 x849 or email us at atsintake@casaesperanza.org
