Division of Addiction Medicine in Brookline

Our nation faces epidemic levels of substance use disorders and overdose deaths, problems that often begin in childhood and adolescence. The Division of Addiction Medicine at Boston Children’s Hospital, the first addiction medicine center at a children’s hospital in the country, provides leadership in the prevention, evaluation, and treatment of early substance use and addiction. As awareness of the dangers of substance use disorders grows, more families are actively seeking help. Boston Children’s Division of Addiction Medicine takes a broad-based approach to ensuring children and teens receive effective intervention and appropriate treatment.
