Straight-Line Distance Baseline From Methuen to Amesbury

What the Methuen baseline establishes

Use MVBH admissions for the admissions pathway, then contact MVBH for direct communication. The geographic answer remains 13.6 straight-line miles between representative points for Methuen and Amesbury.

The decision output is narrow: 13.6 miles separates the selected Methuen and Amesbury representative points in a straight line. The result comes from a deterministic coordinate calculation, not from a mapped street route. It gives Methuen residents a consistent geographic reference for comparing the two municipalities.

The destination context is Merrimack Valley Behavioral Health at 77 Elm Street in Amesbury, inside the historic Mill 77 building. That address identifies the facility location. It was not substituted for the Amesbury representative point in the baseline calculation. Therefore, the figure should remain labeled as a representative-point baseline.

How the 13.6-mile figure was calculated

You can contact MVBH after reviewing the amesbury representative-point distance method baseline. Together, these resources separate direct communication from the geographic method used for this route.

The calculation uses Methuen coordinates of 42.742641, -71.178651 and Amesbury coordinates of 42.851276, -70.95579. It applies the haversine formula with an Earth radius of 3,958.7613 miles. The output is rounded to the nearest 0.1 mile.

This method creates a repeatable baseline from the supplied points. It does not model turns, roads, traffic, or transportation modes. For route decisions, keep the method and its result together. Separating the number from the method can make the figure appear more precise for road planning than the evidence supports.

Evidence boundaries for Methuen route planning

The amesbury representative-point distance method baseline explains the geographic framework, while outpatient treatment programs presents program information. Neither changes the calculation’s stated route limitations.

Three boundaries govern interpretation. The points represent municipalities rather than street addresses. The result is straight-line distance rather than road mileage. The calculation offers no travel-time or transportation-mode estimate.

These limits matter for Methuen because a straight line cannot describe a specific road journey. The baseline also does not establish a weekly round-trip total. It should not be multiplied into a recurring travel estimate without road and schedule information that is outside this evidence.

Massachusetts Community Behavioral Health Centers are described as one-stop shops for a wide range of mental health and substance use services and treatment. That statewide description does not change the scope of this Amesbury destination baseline.

Keeping distance and program scope separate

Review outpatient treatment programs separately from information about mental health conditions. The 13.6-mile calculation supplies geographic context only and does not determine individual needs, program fit, or care level.

The confirmed MVBH scope lists PHP, IOP, OP, Virtual IOP, and Dual Diagnosis. These labels describe the organization’s program scope. They do not convert the 13.6-mile baseline into a statement about scheduling, access, suitability, or a person’s needed care level.

For continuity decisions, separate three questions. First, what is the verified geographic baseline? Second, which program descriptions are relevant to the inquiry? Third, what details can admissions confirm directly? This separation keeps geographic evidence from being treated as program evidence.

The baseline also does not imply an MVBH facility in Methuen. The supplied first-party location is 77 Elm Street in Amesbury, Massachusetts.

Next steps after reviewing the baseline

Information about mental health conditions and therapy services can support further review. For this route, first preserve the distinction between geographic context, the confirmed Amesbury address, and direct admissions communication.

A practical next step begins with the facts that are confirmed. Record the destination as 77 Elm Street in Amesbury, inside the historic Mill 77 building. Keep the 13.6-mile number labeled as a straight-line representative-point baseline, not as the distance to that street address.

For an admissions conversation, call 978-233-9597. Merrimack Valley Behavioral Health identifies this number as the way to start treatment with a confidential conversation. The phone statement supports direct contact, but it does not establish availability, coverage, transportation, or an individual recommendation.

This sequence preserves the role of each fact. Geography frames the Methuen-to-Amesbury comparison. The address identifies the destination. Admissions provides the stated channel for a confidential conversation.
