Intensive outpatient that Compass Recovery provides, was a very important part of my recovery. After rehab, I started at Compass Recovery in evenings. I found the counselors and the staff all very kind, helpful and creative, and compassionate. Compass recovery focuses on tools on how to move forward in our life without alcohol. cope and getting one ready for normal life without Alcohol.The counselors are all very Knowledgeable, and truly care about your Recovery.At the end of each of our sessions, we needed to give something we were grateful for, and we did have to state what we would do to help our sobriety, for example, journaling, reading, meditation something that we were going to do each day to help Our recovery.So with that, I am grateful for Compass recovery and all that they have taught me, and the kindness and camaraderie I found there.
This Place is something Special
I attended a detox for a relapse with alcohol who sent a referral to compass west for further treatment, namely their evening IOP. I spoke with a woman on the phone and gave all the info she needed and she set me up with a start date, perfect.When I went for the initial appt (more questions, paperwork, etc), I was informed it was an abstinent program so when I was asked when I last smoked weed I was honest earlier today I told them. I informed her I wasn t aware of the policy and that I would stop. When I went for the first appt I was the first one there a counselor greeted me quickly adding what s up with the weed? I told him about me being unaware and he seemed to accept that. The group was fine and the next day was a Halloween party where the program director introduced herself also quickly adding what s up with the puff puff? I once again explained but she kept droning on and on and I nodded and threw a few mmhm s in for good measure but really just to shut her up.The next week I met with a counselor who again, being honest, told him I did smoke on Halloween, ya know, a slip. He lectured me for a moment but that too passed with nods and mmhm s. The next day, the director called and said she was referring me to another program for my smoking.A slip and they throw me to the wind, that s a good path to recovery. Maybe if I knew of the abstinence policy this wouldn t of happened, once.

Other Forms of Payment
Private insurance refers to any kind of healthcare coverage that isn't from the state or federal government. This includes individual and family plans offered by an employer or purchased from the Insurance Marketplace. Every plan will have different requirements and out of pocket costs so be sure to get the full details before you start treatment.
Self-pay involves paying for treatment out of your own pocket. You can use savings or credit, get a personal loan, or receive help from family and friends to fund your treatment. If you don't have insurance or your insurance plan doesn't cover a specific program, self-pay can help ensure you still get the care you need.
Addiction Treatments
Levels of Care
Partial Hospitalization Program A partial hospitalization program (PHP) is a short-term form of intensive rehab, usually for those with acute symptoms that are hard to manage but don’t require 24-hour care. PHPs have structured programming (i.e. individual and/or group therapy), and usually meet 3-5 days a week for around 6 hours (i.e. 9am-3m). Some PHPs are residential (patients sleep on site) and some are not, so patients sleep at home. PHPs can last from 1-6 months, and some offer transportation and meals.
Intensive Outpatient Intensive Outpatient programs are for those who want or need a very structured treatment program but who also wish to live at home and continue with certain responsibilities (such as work or school). IOP substance abuse treatment programs vary in duration and intensity, and certain outpatient rehab centers will offer individualized treatment programs. The Intensive Outpatient Program gives patients the chance to participate in a structured treatment plan part-time while they transition back to home and work or other responsibilities.
Outpatient Outpatient Programs (OP) are for those seeking mental rehab or drug rehab, but who also stay at home every night. The main difference between outpatient treatment (OP) and intensive outpatient treatment (IOP) lies in the amount of hours the patient spends at the facility. Most of the time an outpatient program is designed for someone who has completed an inpatient stay and is looking to continue their growth in recovery. Outpatient is not meant to be the starting point, it is commonly referred to as aftercare.
Aftercare Support Completing a drug or alcohol rehab program shouldn't spell the end of substance abuse treatment. Aftercare involves making a sustainable plan for recovery, including ongoing support. This can include sober living arrangements like halfway houses, career counseling, and setting a patient up with community programs like Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) or Narcotics Anonymous (NA).
Programs
Adult Program
Adult rehab programs include therapies tailored to each client's specific needs, goals, and recovery progress. They are tailored to the specific challenges adult clients may face, including family and work pressures and commitments. From inpatient and residential treatment to various levels of outpatient services, there are many options available. Some facilities also help adults work through co-occurring conditions, like anxiety, that can accompany addiction.
Clinical Services
Therapists in Massachusetts offer individual therapy in a confidential setting to help you explore the complex factors that have contributed to your drug addiction. Using a tailored approach, your therapist supports you and utilizes evidence based treatment modalities to help you develop healthier thought patterns and behaviors. This builds a foundation for enduring sobriety.
Group therapy is a safe space for participants to share their stories and experiences within a confidential and judgment free environment. You have the opportunity to openly discuss your difficulties and create a network of community support that can extend long after group therapy sessions end.
