35 Years of Dedicated Care and Service in Middlesex County
One of the things that I love most about this facility is that they say hope is a foundational element of their work. They focus on the possibilities that lie ahead rather than criticizing you for the past or the present.
Language Services and Telehealth to Reach People from All Communities
Another thing I like about this facility is that it is equipped to help any individual who has limited English proficiency. They achieve this through a partnership with Lionbridge and Boostlingo. Timely verbal translations are available in 300 languages and they have translations for American Sign Language too.
According to the facility’s website, over 40,000 individuals are served by the company throughout the state of Massachusetts every year. One way they are able to serve so many individuals is by offering telehealth services at many facilities, including Riverside Life Skills Center.

Addiction Treatment Programs
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
You don’t have to be an expert on interventions to help an addicted loved one. Staff members offer intervention services in Massachusetts, providing support when planning and facilitating an intervention, connecting you with community resources, and helping with the development of your loved one's treatment plan.
