About Gould Farm
Gould Farm is located in Monterey, Massachusetts. They've been helping individuals with mental health challenges for more than a hundred years. Adults who are struggling with issues such as major depression, bipolar disorder, schizoaffective disorder, and other mental health conditions that interfere with quality of life on a daily basis.
This is a working farm with 750 acres of beautiful land and comfortable living quarters that allow residents to support each other while receiving the support and confidence they need to live a fulfilling and productive life.
There are three guest houses with shared living spaces and bathrooms. Each resident has a private bedroom, though there is support available day and night, with a resident advisor available in each house overnight.
This is not just a place to go to learn how to work on a farm, though clients do gain life and job skills through the Gould Farm work program. There are many support, treatment, and therapy options to create the most effective personal treatment plan for each resident.
Therapy philosophies that are integrated into care may include cognitive (CBT) and dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), mentalization based treatment, internal family system therapy, and other modalities of evidence-based treatment. There are also many group therapy opportunities including skills groups, recovery and appropriate AA, NA, or MA groups. Polyvagal, transition skills and challenging stigma groups are all a part of developing the life skills to succeed in life and therapy goals.
Residents spend approximately 5 to 6 hours a day working on the farm after they get settled into the program. There are also scheduled therapy and group activities throughout the week. Recreation and fun activities are a part of life at Gould Farm and individuals have relaxation time, too.
Gould Farm accepts clients who are 18 or over. They do not accept anyone who has a primary diagnosis of dementia or significant cognitive impairment, substance abuse, or an eating disorder. They also don’t accept anyone who has a history of sexual offenses, arson, or ongoing violence. Clients should not have any unresolved legal issues before the courts at the time of admission.
They do accept insurance, but it is usually only secured after a medical necessity letter is obtained. It’s important that you check with your personal health insurance provider to verify what coverage you have, whether you are in-network, and if there are any financial obligations that you’ll be responsible for when in treatment.

Accepted Insurance
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.
Financial aid can take many forms. Centers may have grants or scholarships available to clients who meet eligibility requirements. Programs that receive SAMHSA grants may have financial aid available for those who need treatment as well. Grants and scholarships can help you pai for treatment without having to repay.
Sliding scale payments are based on a client's income and family size. The goal is to make treatment affordable to everyone. By taking these factors into account, addiction recovery care providers help ensure that your treatment does not become a financial burden to you or your family, eliminating one barrier to care.

Many of those suffering from addiction also suffer from mental or emotional illnesses like schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, depression, or anxiety disorders.

Mental health rehabs focus on helping individuals recover from mental illnesses like bipolar disorder, clinical depression, anxiety disorders, schizophrenia, and more.

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.
Group therapy is any therapeutic work that happens in a group (not one-on-one). There are a number of different group therapy modalities, including support groups, experiential therapy, psycho-education, and more. Group therapy involves treatment as well as processing interaction between group members.
In individual therapy, a patient meets one-on-one with a trained psychologist or counselor. Therapy is a pivotal part of effective substance abuse treatment, as it often covers root causes of addiction, including challenges faced by the patient in their social, family, and work/school life.
Couples therapy in Massachusetts is a short term therapy designed to equip you both with the skills you need to address conflicts and challenges in your relationship. During sessions, your counselor may meet with you individually and together.
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.
There is a strong link between nutrition and addiction. That's why drug rehab in Massachusetts includes nutrition therapy to teach you healthy eating habits that support addiction recovery. You'll learn what foods your body needs for healing and long term health.
