About North Cottage Program

Located in Norton, Massachusetts, North Cottage Program helps adult men recover from substance addiction. It offers two levels of care: a short-term Intensive Treatment Program and a longer Halfway House phase. The center serves men 18 or older who want to live drug- and alcohol-free lives and welcomes individuals from all backgrounds across the state of Massachusetts.
North Cottage uses both individual and group therapy to support recovery. Residents meet with a counselor weekly and attend daily group sessions. They also join self-help meetings like AA and NA. The center offers help with health, legal, housing, and job needs. Education and life skills classes support long-term recovery.
Men live on-site in a safe, supportive setting. During treatment, they cannot work or have overnight passes. The center offers healthy activities like softball, reading, and using the local library. Everyone follows a structured plan and stays in the same unit through both phases of care. Recreation helps build community and routine.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does North Cottage Program accept Medicaid?
SAMHSA data does not list Medicaid among this facility's accepted payment types. Call (508) 285-2701 directly to confirm — coverage may have changed since the last SAMHSA sync. You can also browse other CA centers that accept Medicaid.
What level of care does North Cottage Program offer?
Does North Cottage Program have specialized programs?
SAMHSA data does not list specialized populations. The facility may still offer specialty tracks — confirm directly.
What therapy methods does North Cottage Program use?
Specific therapy approaches are not listed in SAMHSA data. Contact the facility for clinical details.
How do I start treatment at North Cottage Program?
Call the facility directly at (508) 285-2701 for an intake assessment. Our free 24/7 helpline (+1 (205) 973-2878) can also help you compare programs, verify insurance, and navigate options. No physician referral is required.
Is treatment confidential?
Yes. Federal law (42 CFR Part 2) provides strict confidentiality protections for substance use treatment records — stricter than HIPAA. Records cannot be disclosed without written consent, even to family, employers, or law enforcement.
What happens when you call? (general intake process)

Most treatment centers follow a 4-step intake: (1) confidential assessment — substance history, mental health, insurance, preferences (protected by 42 CFR Part 2); (2) insurance verification — facility contacts your plan to confirm coverage and out-of-pocket costs; (3) level-of-care recommendation — clinical staff match you to detox, residential, PHP, IOP, or outpatient based on severity; (4) admission typically within 24–48 hours. Timing varies by facility and bed availability.
