About Waverley Place
Waverly Place is a behavioral health community outreach program designed to help people with mental health concerns in Belmont, Massachusetts. This facility focuses more on conditions beyond substance use disorders (SUDs) but emphasizes self sufficiency and helping people retrain their mindsets to better manage and adapt to their mental illness when needed.
Belmont is home to several natural retreats including Beaver Brook Reservation, Pequossette Park, and Glacken Field & Playground. Likewise, younger clients can enjoy Grove Street Playground and Coolidge Playground for nature therapy.
A Non Clinical Approach
Waverly Place is different from many behavioral health centers as this is a community driven program that emphasizes non clinical support to help people manage their mental health and learn how to better operate with it.
Services are available to adults and especially those experiencing difficulty in thinking, concentration, mood and anxiety disorders, or having trouble with sensory perceptions.
Immersive Programs
Peer support is a core part of the Waverly Place approach. This includes programs that focus on personal development and engagement. However, there are also life skills courses available here such as building interpersonal skills, independent living, spirituality, and job placement that emphasizes sourcing meaningful employment.
Likewise, people can enjoy shared activities like games, creative art, writing, music, gardening, and cooking. There are also fitness groups such as yoga, meditation, stretching and even walking groups which can all serve as a holistic approach to better managing stressors that can trigger mental illness crises.
Community Support
When at Waverly Place, you can also access the computers which can be used to connect with essential community resources. Facilitators can help you with managing outreach for vocational, educational, financial, and even housing support from social services.
Waverly Place requires a monthly $300 membership fee but does offers sliding scale fee for qualified individuals. This facility also accepts private insurance, Tricare, Medicare and Medicaid.
Amenities
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.
Residential drug rehab provides the comforts of home with the therapeutic support needed to successfully recover. Benefits of an inpatient program include increased safety, a higher success rate, and the time and distance given to focus on recovery. Residential drug rehabs are often the preferred method of treatment, as they can be tailored to meet specific needs, offer focused therapeutic care, and provide the necessary tools to sustain recovery.
Recreational therapy uniquely combines therapeutic interventions with an activity, like horse-riding, hiking, wilderness therapy, basketball, tennis, or a full workout. Benefits of recreational therapy include providing a healthy way to work through the emotions of recovery, learning to build and maintain relationships, improving communication skills, and building self-esteem.
Yoga and meditation are great activities to support your recovery process during alcohol or drug rehab. These therapies have been around for centuries, and they are an effective way to improve well-being. Combining addiction treatment, yoga, and meditation can reduce cravings, improve sleep, relieve anxiety and depression, provide stress relief, promote relaxation, support emotional healing, and improve energy levels.
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.
Treatment centers with a yoga studio offer a special form of holistic therapy during the recovery process. Yoga boosts mindfulness, a sense of calm, and healthy reflection during drug rehab via breathing exercises, stretching, and a progression of specific postures.
Music can be extremely therapeutic, serving as a valuable healing tool and an integrative feature of a holistic treatment plan. A music room offers a large number of outlets, including singing, playing musical instruments, and listening to music.
In order to maintain a sense of autonomy, many private rehab facilities offer clients the ability to choose their own private rooms. The privacy and personal space ensure that the recovery process is as comfortable as possible.
Addiction treatment in the metro area benefits clients by offering seamless connections from the city, around the state, and those seeking out-of-state treatment. Another benefit of attending a metro area drug rehab is that you’re close to major airports and ground transportation services.
Wilderness rehab programs offer all the benefits of a traditional drug rehab, but with the added benefits of outdoor adventure. Venture out into the forest to learn new skills, explore the beauty of nature, and relieve stress. Engaging in wilderness activities is a great way to gain self-discovery and release negative emotions.
When used as part of an evidence-based treatment plan, basketball can boost physical and mental health, lead to sharper thinking, and facilitate improved self-esteem. Drug rehabs with a basketball court also place a focus on teamwork and cooperation.
Business centers are a preferred amenity in many mental health and addiction recovery facilities and typically feature secure, high-speed internet, computer stations, printers, and related business technologies. Business centers are designed to enable professionals and students to continue to participate in work or school activities without leaving the treatment facility.
Addiction Treatment Programs
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.
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.
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 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.
Assertive Community Treatment (ACT) is an integrative, community-based care strategy designed to address the needs of persons with severe and/or complex mental illness or behavioral disorders. ACT is typically provided by a multidisciplinary team of medical and mental health care providers, social workers, therapists, and other specialists, including addiction recovery professionals. These services are frequently provided in the home and community to clients in crisis, those who are clinically unstable, and those who are unable or unwilling to travel to a hospital or clinic for in-person treatment.
Sound & Music Therapy are complementary treatment modalities frequently used in addiction recovery to support clients’ physical, mental, and emotional wellbeing through the use of auditory stimuli, from nature sounds and Tibetan singing bowls to drum circles and rhythmic melodies. The treatment is believed to reduce symptoms of anxiety and depression and may offer relief for those experiencing chronic pain, which can decrease clients’ risk of addiction relapse.
Levels of Care
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.
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.
Aftercare rehab in Massachusetts gives you continued access to support after rehab. You may need assistance with job coaching, budgeting, education, or accountability as you re-enter your life. Aftercare programs provide these supports, so you can face challenges and maintain a sober lifestyle long-term.
As the most intensive treatment setting, inpatient drug rehab in Massachusetts treatment involves 24/7 supervised care. At this level of care, you typically participate in individual, group, and family therapy sessions, and you may receive medication and additional recreational therapies.
In Massachusetts sober living, you will take on more responsibility than rehab treatment requires. You’ll pay rent and work or attend school. You’ll also contribute to household chores. The goal is to learn how to live independently, free from drugs and alcohol.
