Askia Academy at Dimock

Askia Academy at Dimock specializes in residential treatment, providing 24-hour support for individuals requiring intensive addiction treatment. This level of care bridges the gap between acute medical intervention and outpatient programming, offering clients the time and space needed to establish solid recovery foundations.

The residential setting removes clients from their usual environment while they work on recovery skills, coping mechanisms, and relapse prevention strategies. This immersive approach allows participants to focus entirely on their healing without the distractions and triggers they might face in their daily lives.

The facility addresses both substance use disorders and mental health disorders, recognizing the interconnected nature of these conditions. Many individuals struggling with addiction also face depression, anxiety, trauma, or other mental health challenges that require simultaneous attention.

This integrated treatment model helps clients understand how their mental health and substance use influence each other, developing strategies to manage both conditions effectively. The dual-diagnosis approach supports more comprehensive recovery outcomes and reduces the likelihood of relapse.

Situated in Roxbury, Askia Academy serves the diverse Boston metropolitan area and Suffolk County region. The facility's location connects clients with the broader Boston recovery community, providing access to local support networks and resources.

As part of the Dimock Community Health Center network, clients benefit from connections to comprehensive healthcare services that extend beyond addiction treatment. This integration supports long-term wellness and provides continuity of care as individuals progress through different stages of recovery.

Askia Academy makes addiction treatment more accessible through financial assistance programs, recognizing that cost should not be a barrier to recovery. The facility works with individuals to explore funding options and payment arrangements that make residential treatment feasible.

Operating seven days a week from 9 AM to 5 PM, the center maintains consistent availability for program activities, counseling sessions, and support services. This schedule ensures clients receive comprehensive programming throughout the week without gaps in care.
