About Gavin Foundation Intensive Treatment Services
The Gavin Foundation’s Intensive Treatment Services program provides detox and stabilization for adults. You'll find 'em located out in Quincy, Massachusetts. The facility has 64 beds and includes acute and clinical services to help those struggling with substance abuse. There are also gender-specific services, allowing guests to focus on recovery without outside distractions. They have admission services available every day around the clock to provide comprehensive treatment when it is needed.
Their acute treatment services (ATS) involve detox and are medically monitored for safety and comfort. The team understands the withdrawal process can be challenging, so they are on-site to help you discontinue using substances.
Guests receive educational resources that may help them understand how the disease of addiction works and affects their thoughts and overall health. Motivational interventions can help you change negative thought patterns and behaviors to those that are conducive to a life of sobriety. Case management is available to help guide you through this phase. Most guests remain in acute treatment for three to five days.
The next phase is clinical stabilization. This service uses evidence-based methods to connect the initial withdrawal stages to successful recovery. Clinical interventions, like medication assisted treatment (MAT), can help manage symptoms and reduce drug cravings.
During this stage, they also focus on helping you develop healthier coping skills that address responses to life stressors that act as temptations to use drugs or alcohol. They provide the tools and resources that create a foundation for long-term sobriety. The stay for this stage is typically 14 days, but may vary depending on your symptoms and recovery progress.
