Medical briefcase icon Levels of Care

outpatient iconOutpatient

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 iconAftercare 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).

Heart icon Treatment

alcohol iconAlcoholism

The goal of treatment for alcoholism is abstinence. Those with poor social support, poor motivation, or psychiatric disorders tend to relapse within a few years of treatment. For these people, success is measured by longer periods of abstinence, reduced use of alcohol, better health, and improved social functioning. Recovery and Maintenance are usually based on 12 step programs and AA meetings.

drugs iconDrug Addiction

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.

check iconDual Diagnosis

Many of those suffering from addiction also suffer from mental or emotional illnesses like schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, depression, or anxiety disorders. Rehab and other substance abuse facilities treating those with a dual diagnosis or co-occurring disorder administer psychiatric treatment to address the person's mental health issue in addition to drug and alcohol rehabilitation.

mental-health iconMental Health and Substance Abuse

A combined mental health and substance abuse rehab has the staff and resources available to handle individuals with both mental health and substance abuse issues. It can be challenging to determine where a specific symptom stems from (a mental health issue or an issue related to substance abuse), so mental health and substance abuse professionals are helpful in detangling symptoms and keeping treatment on track.

opium iconOpioid Addiction

Opioid rehabs specialize in supporting those recovering from opioid addiction. They treat those suffering from addiction to illegal opioids like heroin, as well as prescription drugs like oxycodone. These centers typically combine both physical as well as mental and emotional support to help stop addiction. Physical support often includes medical detox and subsequent medical support (including medication), and mental support includes in-depth therapy to address the underlying causes of addiction.

inpatient-file iconCognitive Behavioral Therapy

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a therapy modality that focuses on the relationship between one's thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. It is used to establish and allow for healthy responses to thoughts and feelings (instead of unhealthy responses, like using drugs or alcohol). CBT has been proven effective for recovering addicts of all kinds, and is used to strengthen a patient's own self-awareness and ability to self-regulate. CBT allows individuals to monitor their own emotional state, become more adept at communicating with others, and manage stress without needing to engage in substance abuse.

dialectical iconDialectical Behavior Therapy

If you are experiencing intense, negative emotions, dialectical behavior therapy can help you learn how to regulate painful emotions and manage the interpersonal situations that generate them. This method is often used during substance use treatment in Massachusetts to help you develop better coping skills and avoid relapse.

family iconFamily Therapy

During family therapy, the therapist works with every member of the family unit to understand the role they play in their loved one's addiction. By addressing these patterns, family members learn healthier ways to interact with each other and contribute to a more effective recovery journey for the family member who is addicted.

intervention iconGroup Therapy

Group treatment is considered the treatment of choice for substance abuse clients. All groups are limited to a group size of ten and led by a trained group facilitator who holds special skills in the field of substance abuse. Length of treatment is individualized for the client and determined via American Society of Addiction Medicine treatment protocol. Over the course of their treatment clients are provided with a wide range of educational information with which to assess their usage and develop recovery skills. They also learn from their peers as they give and receive feedback that enables them to learn how to make healthier life choices. Genesis provides a variety of drug free groups to our clients including for men, women and adolescents.

mental-health iconIndividual Therapy

Individual therapy is usually accessed by clients who have acheived a significant period of sobriety, or who feel they need additional support beyond their group treatment in order to maintain stability. The length of treatment is determined by need and the American Society of Addiction Medicine treatment protocol, which is used to help identify treatment goals. Care is taken to assign a client to a clinician appropriate to their needs and personality.

life-skills iconLife Skills

The life skills you'll learn in rehab range from financial management to practicing healthy self care. They help you learn how to solve problems and make decisions, as well as develop healthy interpersonal relationships – all of which are key to successful recovery.

house-medical iconTrauma Therapy

Trauma therapy addresses the psychological impact of experiencing a traumatic event. You can also experience mental and emotional injury after witnessing a trauma. By identifying what triggers those responses and developing effective coping mechanisms, you can rebuild a sense of safety and trust in your environment.

I recommend Genesis Counseling Services in Framingham MA to any person, of any age, seeking guidance and help with substance abuse issues. Lisa and her team have a proven track record of compassion and genuine concern for the well-being of each person that comes into their office. They work hand in hand with the Massachusetts legal system and offer several services catered to the needs of their clients. Through both group and Individual therapy I have been taught vital tools that help me on my daily journey in sobriety. If you are serious about getting the outpatient help that you need then don t look any further, call Genesis now.

Terrible place...staff does not know what they're doing, misdiagnose patients as they don't bother to get to know them.

I had a loved one that attended Genesis briefly. I have concerns about their way of assessing their patients. For instance, my loved one never had an issue with alcohol, in fact, on their assessment form (I was right there when he filled it out) every substance abuse question hands down, he answered concerning drugs such as opiates. For alcohol questions, those were always a negative, and none of his problems in life reflected alcohol, but rather was opiate or cocaine abuse. Yet, the counselor that met with him, tried to push AA on him, when I felt NA would have been a better choice. Therefore, I find their mission statement most peculiar when they say "we are committed to helping people make the best possible decisions in this area of their lives." Pushing a drug addict into the wrong program for them can be very discouraging to the patient and less helpful, when there are other programs more suited to their individual needs, especially when they don't need to learn how to remain sober from something like alcohol since that is a non issue for them. When my loved one tried explaining to the counselor that he does not like alcohol and would rather attend meetings more suitable for him, she was very dismissive towards him, Insisted she didn't know him so he should do AA. Now, I figure that's what the whole assessment process and forms is for in the first place; so that a counselor can gather a grasp on what is actually the patient's problem and tailor their treatment program to it. This seemed more like waste their time with the forms, just to push whatever they feel like onto the patient regardless of the forms and assessment showing the real problem. Certainly not, in my opinion, the best way to handle their patients. Thankfully, my loved one left after a brief time there, and wound up in a wonderful program elsewhere in the same town as this one, this program listened to him, did not dismiss him, nor put the wrong stuff on him. They tailored to his needs, and because of this other program (thanks to Genesis's treatment of him, he wound up in the other place), he worked very hard with them, went to the right meetings from them, and with counseling, he has transformed into being sober free and more responsible to this day. The change in him is great, and no thanks to Genesis and what they tried to do.

As a previous intern, I learned a lot from the hands-on work I did. It was an eye-opening experience to the world of addiction and substance abuse and I appreciated every moment of it. The clinicians are respectable, understanding, supportive, and dedicated to the work they do. I would definitely recommend Genesis Counseling Services for any members of the Framingham county suffering from drug addiction or abuse.
