We’re proud to share a new resource outside our Acute Treatment Services (ATS) program: The Dimock Center’s first Naloxone kiosk, supplied by our partners at the Boston Public Health Commission.

Pictured here is Chanel, our Senior Director of Behavioral Health and Nursing Operations, alongside the kiosk, which is stocked with Naloxone (Narcan), recovery resources, and hygiene kits.

Narcan is a medication that can quickly reverse an opioid overdose and save a life. It is safe and simple to use, with no need for medical training. By making these resources more accessible, we’re helping ensure support is available when and where it’s needed.

A big thank you to our partners at the Boston Public Health Commission for helping us expand access to care in our community! 💜

A shared meal can be a powerful way to bring people together. ❤️

On Tuesday, our friends from the Red Sox Foundation and Takeda joined Dimock staff for a special fall luncheon celebrating our residents in recovery and the community that surrounds them.

Made possible through Takeda’s Food is Medicine grant, the afternoon was filled with nutritious food, great company, and a little Red Sox-themed fun!

Thank you to the Red Sox Foundation and Takeda for being familiar faces on our campus and steadfast supporters of the Dimock community!

Investing in children means investing in healthier, stronger communities. 🚲

This week, we were thrilled to welcome a donation of 100 bicycles and helmets from MassMutual and Barnum Financial Group, brought to us through the Barnum Foundation for Life and Red Sox Foundation. Together, these generous partners are helping create new opportunities for children in our community to stay active, build confidence, explore their neighborhoods, and experience the freedom and joy that comes with riding a bike.

We are grateful to our incredible partners for investing in the well-being of local children and helping make experiences like these possible.

Thank you for helping our community move forward, one bike at a time. 🩵

This Recovery Month, The Dimock Center honors those we have lost to substance use disorder, celebrates those in recovery, and recognizes the strength, resilience, and humanity of everyone whose life has been touched by addiction. 💜

From Acute Treatment Services (ATS/Detox) and Clinical Stabilization Services (CSS) to dual diagnosis programs like Askia Academy and Ruth Kelley Ummis House for individuals living with both substance use disorder and mental health conditions, Dimock provides a full continuum of care designed to support healing, recovery, and long-term wellness.

Our work doesn't stop there. Through community outreach, Office-Based Addiction Treatment (OBAT), and Outpatient Addiction and Recovery Services (OARS), we connect people with the care, resources, and support they need, wherever they are on their recovery journey.

We believe healing begins with dignity, compassion, and trust. Using a trauma-informed, person-first approach, we meet people where they are and provide care without judgment because everyone deserves the opportunity to heal, and no one should have to recover alone.

This month and every month, we stand with individuals, families, and communities affected by substance use disorder and reaffirm our commitment to ensuring that hope, support, and compassionate care are within reach for all.
