About Avanzando Gandara Center – Ludlow

Avanzando Gandara Center sits at 14 Chestnut Place, Ludlow — around 2.8 miles from Wilbraham and 4.2 from Springfield. The practical catchment runs to roughly 8 miles, covering Springfield, Chicopee, Granby and Longmeadow. Ludlow sits in Hampden County, and the county’s own provision is limited enough that this site draws from a wide area.

Care offered spans residential treatment and sober living. Approved medication runs alongside counseling, which is what medication-assisted treatment means in practice. Substance use and mental health are treated together rather than in sequence. Remote appointments are offered, useful for anyone without transport. The facility provides trauma-specific treatment. Federal registration is held through SAMHSA and licensing through the Massachusetts Bureau of Substance Addiction Services.

Avanzando Gandara Center – Ludlow Detox and Rehab Services

What Avanzando Gandara Center – Ludlow offers is residential treatment and sober living. Ask what the assessment recommends before comparing anything else. Waiting times vary, so it is worth asking at the first call. Confirm what a program covers before committing to it.

I love it here

★☆☆☆☆
Morris Jordan5 years ago

Director allows clients to openly get high and there's no reprimands, director is a push over who needs to reevaluate her job. As of right now half of the house is getting high getting caught with needles. Definitely… wouldn't recommend especially if you plan on having children here, not a safe environment for people who are actually trying to get clean.
