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 addict...ive 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.

Aftercare & Alumni Program

Aftercare rehab in Massachusetts gives you continued access to support after rehab. You may need assistance wi...th 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.

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.

Sober Living

In Massachusetts sober living, you will take on more responsibility than rehab treatment requires. You’ll pa...y 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.
