Straight-Line Distance Baseline From Waltham to Amesbury

Approved by Clinical Staff

The Waltham-to-Amesbury straight-line distance baseline is 35.1 miles. It uses Census representative points and the haversine formula, rounded to the nearest 0.1 mile. It is a geographic reference only, not road mileage, travel time, a transportation estimate, or evidence of a Waltham facility.

What the baseline covers

Use MVBH admissions for the owned starting point, then contact MVBH for direct location or admissions questions. The 35.1-mile figure supplies only a bounded straight-line reference between Waltham and Amesbury representative points.

MVBH’s first-party scope names PHP, IOP, OP, Virtual IOP, and Dual Diagnosis. This page does not use the distance baseline to determine program fit, service availability, coverage, or an individual level of care. It also does not place an MVBH facility in Waltham. The owned location fact identifies MVBH at 77 Elm Street in Amesbury, inside the historic Mill 77 building.

The key decision is whether a question needs geographic comparison or actual trip planning. The 35.1-mile result supports geographic comparison. It cannot answer questions about a road route, commute, traffic, transportation mode, or elapsed time. Those exclusions prevent a precise coordinate result from being mistaken for practical door-to-door distance. No weekly round-trip total is supplied in this calculation.

Calculation method and evidence limits

Compare weekly round-trip distance scenarios from waltham to amesbury with the listed outpatient treatment programs only as separate information. Neither changes the calculation’s representative-point method or its travel limitations.

The deterministic calculation applies the haversine formula to coordinates 42.388921, -71.242268 for Waltham and 42.851276, -70.95579 for Amesbury. It uses an Earth radius of 3,958.7613 miles and rounds to the nearest 0.1 mile. The resulting 35.1 miles remains limited because representative points are not street addresses.

Within Straight-Line Distance Baseline From Waltham to Amesbury, “Calculation method and evidence limits” sets the evidence boundary.

Massachusetts resource and location boundaries

The outpatient treatment programs page describes MVBH program scope, while mental health conditions provides separate condition information. Neither resource turns the Waltham representative point into a facility address or expands this calculation beyond Massachusetts.

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 resource description does not establish an MVBH location in Waltham. It also does not change the destination used here. The MVBH location remains 77 Elm Street in Amesbury, Massachusetts.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Is 35.1 miles the driving distance from Waltham to Amesbury?

No. The verified 35.1-mile figure is a straight-line calculation between representative points for Waltham and Amesbury. Road routes do not follow a direct geographic line. The supplied calculation expressly excludes road mileage, so the baseline should not be presented as a driving distance.

Does the baseline show how long travel will take?

No. The calculation does not estimate travel time or transportation mode. A straight-line baseline describes geographic separation between representative points. It does not account for roads, traffic, departure time, routing, stops, or any other factor that could affect an actual trip.

Which locations were used for the calculation?

The calculation uses a Census representative point for Waltham and another for Amesbury. These are not street addresses. The haversine formula measures straight-line separation between their coordinates, using an Earth radius of 3,958.7613 miles, then rounds the result to the nearest 0.1 mile.

Where is Merrimack Valley Behavioral Health located?

Merrimack Valley Behavioral Health is located at 77 Elm Street in Amesbury, Massachusetts, inside the historic Mill 77 building. The distance calculation uses an Amesbury representative point rather than that street address. The address and baseline therefore provide different kinds of location context.
