About VK New England Management LLC

Lawrence Medical Center is an integrated outpatient medical practice serving adults across Massachusetts, bringing primary care, mental health, psychiatry, behavioral health, and addiction recovery together under one coordinated care team. Their approach is built on keeping a patient’s full picture in view, including health history, medications, symptoms, and goals, so people don’t have to juggle separate offices or repeat their story to each provider. For substance use, they treat opioid and alcohol use disorders through outpatient medication-assisted treatment, and they offer outpatient withdrawal management for people coming off alcohol, opioids, or benzodiazepines while living at home. Appointments are available both in person and by telehealth.

Their MAT program includes daily Suboxone, monthly Sublocade injections for those who would rather not manage a daily dose, and monthly Vivitrol injections, which require being substance-free for 7 to 10 days before starting. There’s no set end date for medication; some patients stay on it for months and others for years, and counseling is strongly encouraged with expectations tailored to each person. Outpatient detox begins with a full assessment that screens for co-occurring mental health conditions, followed by a personalized plan, medication to ease symptoms and cravings, individual or group therapy, and ongoing monitoring that may include drug testing. Before detox ends, the team builds an aftercare plan that can include continued therapy, support groups, or referral to a more structured program, and patients can keep receiving routine primary care for chronic conditions, preventive screenings, and sick visits from the same practice.
