Locate Stonybrook Commitment Records

Stonybrook Treatment Overview

The Stonybrook Stabilization & Treatment Center is on the Ludlow HCSO campus at 627 Randall Road. HCSO describes it as a Massachusetts Department of Public Health-approved treatment facility serving people committed by a court under Section 35. Section 35 refers to M.G.L. c. 123, Section 35, the Massachusetts civil commitment law for substance-use-disorder treatment when legal criteria are met. Stonybrook is secure and structured, but its purpose is stabilization and treatment rather than standard jail detention.

The facility population is different from the Main Institution or WCC. People at Stonybrook are committed through a civil court process for substance-use-disorder treatment. HCSO says the commitment may last up to 90 days, with statutory reviews at days 30, 45, 60, 75, and 90. A multidisciplinary team can approve discharge when the person no longer meets the likelihood-of-serious-harm criteria tied to substance use disorder.

The official Stonybrook screenshot comes from the HCSO Stonybrook source page.

The source page supports the Section 35 treatment role and helps distinguish Stonybrook from a jail roster or booking-photo facility.

Stonybrook Commitment Population

The research did not locate a public facility capacity or current Stonybrook population count. HCSO states that the center more than doubled substance-use-disorder treatment beds in western Massachusetts, but the captured public page did not provide a specific count suitable for a stat block. Because Phase B rules prohibit invented numbers, this Stonybrook population section focuses on who is held and under what authority rather than filling a capacity table with guesses.

Stonybrook Custody Search

Stonybrook should not be searched like a public jail roster. No public Stonybrook online roster was located, and the research warns that records may be especially sensitive because they can involve treatment, health information, and civil-commitment status. For a current location or custody question, use the Stonybrook facility phone and appropriate family, legal, or court channels. For formal records, use the HCSO Records Access Officer, but expect redaction or denial where medical, privacy, CORI, investigatory, or other exemptions apply.

1. Confirm the matter is a Section 35 commitment, not a criminal jail booking or state-prison sentence.
2. Call Stonybrook with the person's full legal name, court involved, and commitment date if known.
3. Use court or attorney channels for commitment-order questions and review-date information.
4. Use HCSO public-records channels for non-urgent records that may be public and segregable.
5. Use MassCourts, MADOC/VINE, BOP, or ICE only if the person is also tied to a criminal, prison, federal, or immigration custody system.

Stonybrook Contact

Use the Stonybrook contact for facility access and current operational questions. HCSO's public guidance says the center is reached by taking the first left upon entering the Ludlow campus and following the road. Public-records questions should be routed through HCSO's RAO process, and the RAO phone number is for questions or request status rather than making a records request by phone.

Stonybrook Family Access

The research did not capture a public Stonybrook visiting schedule with fixed days and times. Because this is a treatment facility, access should be confirmed directly with Stonybrook before travel. A family member, attorney, or support person may need to account for clinical programming, court-review status, privacy limits, safety rules, and any visitor approval process. The facility's treatment mission makes a simple jail-style visit table inaccurate.

Anyone planning to travel to Stonybrook should confirm identity requirements, approved visitor status, property rules, and whether the committed person is available. Treatment groups, withdrawal management, clinical assessment, court review, discharge planning, or safety operations may affect access on a given day.

Stonybrook Mail Records

The research did not document a separate Stonybrook mail format, commissary fee schedule, or phone vendor page. HCSO's systemwide inmate accounts and phone pages are tied to HCCC, WCC, and WMRWC kiosks, and the source material does not state that the same deposit process applies to Stonybrook commitments. For that reason, the Stonybrook page should not promise Access Corrections deposits, ICSolutions calls, or a specific mail format unless the facility confirms it.

Stonybrook Treatment Intake

Stonybrook intake follows the Section 35 commitment path. A court commitment leads to placement for substance-use-disorder treatment rather than ordinary arrest booking. HCSO lists withdrawal management, assessment, treatment planning, individual counseling, group treatment, and discharge planning as part of the program. Each individual has a substance-use-disorder counselor. If a co-occurring mental-health disorder is diagnosed, a mental-health clinician is also assigned.

HCSO states that Stonybrook can offer up to 10 treatment groups daily. Listed groups include recovery roadmaps, recovery maintenance, recovery wellness planning, CBT, DBT, process groups, meditation, mindfulness, physical wellness, AA, NA, SMART Recovery, and Refuge Recovery. Those program details explain why a Stonybrook custody search must account for clinical status and discharge planning rather than only booking date and housing unit.

Stonybrook Public Records

Public-records access for Stonybrook is narrower in practice than a basic facility address lookup. Massachusetts public records law still provides a route to request non-exempt government records, but health-related information, treatment details, personal privacy, CORI, court restrictions, juvenile issues, and investigatory material can limit access. A request should be specific, such as naming the person, approximate commitment date, court, and the exact public record sought.

For a family member, the better first step is often the attorney, petitioner, or court involved in the Section 35 matter. For a records requester, the better first step is the HCSO RAO. For a criminal case tied to the same person, MassCourts may show the case path, but Stonybrook's treatment record is still a different category of information.
