About Volunteers of America Behavioral Health Services

The outpatient behavioral health services department of Volunteers of America Massachusetts provides holistic and integrated care in Taunton, Massachusetts. The organization is CARF-accredited.

Before you begin your treatment, you will undergo a comprehensive evaluation. The evaluation will help determine if their program is a correct fit for you and your specific needs. You will also answer questions about your substance use history, mental health history and medical history. They will also like to know what your needs and treatment goals will be.

Once all the information is collected, they will be able to develop your personalized treatment plan. Your treatment plan may include different formats of counseling such as individual, group, family and couples counseling. Individual counseling will take a deep dive into your addiction and what led to it. You will also address any possible trauma. With group therapy, you will be able to be among your peers. You will see that you are not alone in the recovery journey.

If needed, medication-assisted treatment (MAT) is available. The medications they use have been approved by the FDA. If you are struggling with an alcohol use disorder or an opioid use disorder then you may add MAT to your treatment plan. I like that the medications will reduce your cravings and ease any withdrawal symptoms you may be experiencing. With your withdrawal symptoms controlled, you will be able to focus on your recovery journey.

You will have access to recovery coaching and recovery support navigation. The coaches have once stood in your place and are committed to long-term recovery. They will be able to provide you with advice, guidance and help provide any additional resource you may need. I do like that you will have access to employment and housing services while you are in clinical treatment.

Amenities

Private Rehab

Private drug rehab provides a comfortable, secure environment that allows you to focus on doing the work to get your life back on track. Benefits include a higher staff-to-client ratio, increased one-on-one time with therapists and healthcare providers, private rooms for clients, and customized forms of therapy.

Art Therapy

Art and music are mediums that connect with our feelings, making them a great recovery tool during addiction treatment. Studies show that combining art/music and drug rehab can have a greater therapeutic impact than drug rehab alone, as you’re able to access parts of your brain and body that you may not have access to during traditional talk therapy. Benefits of art/music therapy include lowering stress and anxiety, promoting healthy neurochemicals, and providing stress relief.

Addiction Treatment Programs

Teen & Adolescent Program

Teen and young adult substance abuse can set individuals on a life-long path of destruction. A young adult program in Massachusetts can intervene in young adults’ lives to set them on a better path during this crucial stage of life.

Adult Program

Each adult program in Massachusetts is designed to help individuals over the age of 18 recover from addiction to drugs or alcohol. The length of the program and its intensity varies, based on the needs of the individual.

Alcoholism

Most alcohol rehab in Massachusetts consists of individual counseling and group therapy sessions, which address mental and emotional concerns that are contributing to alcohol use. Treatment helps participants make changes to maintain sobriety and prevent relapse.

Men's Rehab

For men who want to stop drinking or using drugs, men’s rehab in Massachusetts offers help and hope. These treatment programs, designed specifically for men, help participants recover and rebuild their lives.

Women's Rehab

Women who are seeking treatment for substance use disorders can receive various levels of care at women’s rehab in Massachusetts. Programs include detox, partial hospitalization programs (PHP), intensive outpatient programs (IOP), telehealth programs, sober living, outpatient, and aftercare.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

Cognitive behavioral therapy in Massachusetts is a hands-on method that engages participants in changing their thought and behavior patterns. Rather than a talk-listen approach, individuals are actively involved in working with their therapist to treat their addiction.

Drug Rehab

Addiction is a highly complex problem, and drug rehab in Massachusetts is often necessary to address it. These programs treat physical, mental, and relational issues that are involved. Treatment empowers individuals to manage these issues without the use of drugs.

Rational Behavior Therapy (RBT)

Addiction therapists apply rational emotive behavioral therapy in Massachusetts to focus on the interconnectedness of behaviors, thoughts, and feelings. The aim of therapy is for these three things to work together to improve your quality of life rather than lead to dysfunction.

Levels of Care

Detox & MAT

The first step to a drug-free future is detox. This involves slowly and safely ridding your body of all addictive substances, under 24/7 supervision. This is typically the initial phase of drug rehab in Massachusetts.

Outpatient Rehab

Massachusetts outpatient rehab does not have a defined timeline. The program is tailored to meet your recovery needs, and may last 90 days or a year or more. During this time, you will attend therapy sessions and support group meetings, for ongoing accountability and development of sober-living skills.

Dual Diagnosis & Mental Health

If you meet the diagnostic criteria for two or more conditions, you have a dual diagnosis. Massachusetts dual diagnosis treatment is designed to address both conditions simultaneously, for improved recovery outcomes.
