About Walden Dedham

Walden Center for Recovery is a well-established treatment center that has helped over 25,000 individuals and their families. Their brand-new, cutting-edge facility is situated in Dedham, Massachusetts, 20 miles south of Boston. Their 82-bed inpatient program is open to youths 11 years and older and adults of all genders who have been diagnosed with any type of eating disorder. Walden's inclusive program comes equipped with experienced staff members who take into account the individual's unique circumstances by providing tailored, evidenced-based treatment plans. Walden has many customized programs, including specialty virtual tracks for the LGBTQIA+ community, competitive athletes, clients with binge eating disorders, and the Jewish community with a B'SHALOM program. Each program focuses on the direct need of each person and their family.
Walden’s residential program ensures 1-on-1 treatment. Patients are encouraged to cook and prepare their own meals while receiving help from compassionate staff members, mental health counselors, nurses, nutritionists, and psychologists. The program is meant to simulate real-life experiences and clients will have the opportunity to engage in “real-life” outings, like grocery shopping and dining out. Walden's facility includes a single room with abundant natural light, as well as a teaching kitchen, a full culinary staff, and special areas for music and art therapy.
As a Monte Nido Affiliate, Walden Center for Recovery has numerous facilities throughout Georgia, Massachusetts, and Connecticut. Dedham is home to their Massachusetts residential facility, but they also offer intensive outpatient treatment (IOP) and virtual outpatient aftercare in most locations. Notably, Walden Center for Recovery accepts most private insurance and works with out of network insurance as well.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does Walden Dedham accept Medicaid?
SAMHSA data does not list Medicaid among this facility's accepted payment types. Call (833) 600-0802 directly to confirm — coverage may have changed since the last SAMHSA sync. You can also browse other MA centers that accept Medicaid.

How do I start treatment at Walden Dedham?
Call the facility directly at (833) 600-0802 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.
