Levels of Care

Inpatient

Residential treatment programs are those that offer housing and meals in addition to substance abuse treatment. Rehab facilities that offer residential treatment allow patients to focus solely on recovery, in an environment totally separate from their lives. Some rehab centers specialize in short-term residential treatment (a few days to a week or two), while others solely provide treatment on a long-term basis (several weeks to months). Some offer both, and tailor treatment to the patient's individual requirements.

Aftercare

Rehab aftercare programs offer customized, wraparound support for clients in the maintenance phase of recovery. Many clients enroll in drug rehab immediately after completing intensive inpatient or residential care. Services encompass outpatient treatment but often extend long beyond the completion of a formal recovery program and typically include a variety of medical, mental health, and social service programs. Peer coaching, relapse prevention, 12 step program induction, and related services are commonly available.

12-Step

12-step programs are addiction recovery models based on Alcoholics Anonymous (AA). A number of substance abuse programs (including some drug and alcohol rehab centers) use the 12 steps as a basis for treatment. Beginning steps involve admitting powerlessness over the addiction and creating a spiritual basis for recovery. Middle steps including making direct amends to those who've been hurt by the addiction, and the final step is to assist others in addiction recovery in the same way. 12-Step offshoots including Narcotics Anonymous (NA), Cocaine Anonymous (CA), Dual Recovery Anonymous (DRA), Sex and Love Addicts Anonymous (SLAA) and Gamblers Anonymous (GA).

24-Hour Clinical Care

Due to various health issues that substance abuse causes, 24-hour clinical care in Massachusetts is often a necessary part of treatment. Individuals may be suffering from infections, illness, or organ damage. Having 24-hour care available ensures that these physical problems are treated along with the psychological effects of addiction. Once individuals complete detox and are medically stable, this intensive level of supervision ends, and the next phase of treatment can begin.

Treatment

Alcoholism

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.

Drug 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.

Opioid 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.

Substance Abuse

Substance rehabs focus on helping individuals recover from substance abuse, including alcohol and drug addiction (both illegal and prescription drugs). They often include the opportunity to engage in both individual as well as group therapy.

Clinical Services

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy

During cognitive behavioral therapy in Massachusetts, clients work with a trained counselor to identify negative thinking patterns and change them. This change in thinking has been shown to lead to changes in behavior to treat substance use and mental health disorders effectively.

Dialectical 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.

Group Therapy

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.

Individual Therapy

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.

Trauma 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 have one final thought on this place, in addition to the fact that it has gone to hell in a hand basket. Don t ever let them pack your stuff ! demand you have a third party, you will get about 50 percent of your things back, hundreds of dollars just went poof! They screwed up handling my case in so many ways they are afraid to speak to me and are trying to get me to just forget that they are an institution managed by low level thieves and cons. The day I believe Lou has been sober for 13 years is the day pigs sprout wings and fly, I was asked to leave and went back to lock my door to keep the staff out really more is then other clients. Lou followed me back and tried to sweet talk me into being stupid enough to let her lock the door for me. I found the irony in this to be too much because she was the main person I was afraid would either steal from me, throw my things in the trash for a cheap thrill, or read through my personal information. When I told her I needed to see her lock the door, she stood there thinking she would intimidate me into walking out w it unlocked so she wouldn t be on camera going back in and looting. I told her she was going to have to wait then while I locked it. Imagine how surprised I was that half my stuff was never returned to me. Looks pretty bad seeing as only staff had access to keys I am sure little elves and gnomes are to blame though. Staff made me wait for them to get what I immediately noticed was missing and I returned for it on the day I was told to,.when I pointed out that I was still missing about a thousand dollars worth of belongings , they tried to run away inside and say that I had now passed the time they could be responsible for anything else. What integrity! Not returned rent for half a month plus payed in advance, but the best part , i asked about my mountain of books, back w a few others from the library in addition to the large amount that I owned. Well they just assumed books their were theirs, like saying I don t read I thought books are for museums and library s. Just because the last book Lou, Lynne and their little group of shady followers read was in kindergarten they assumed everyone else is uninformed and ignorant. Apparently you have to be borderline illiterate to get a job there. They don t want anyone who is too good at math either because they might find out some funny things go on with money and management. Oh if anyone sees a black Egyptian bast cat statue it s mine? Or tarot and occult stuff, also min. They claimed they didn t notice two huge potted plants that weren t returned to me as well as a bag of crystals I assume they tried to use to decorate their ugly office space .They are totally grimey, I would rather let an active junkie pack my belongings then the current staff. There are some serious ethical problems with management, I m sure if I read the newspaper eventually there will be an article about misuse of funds/ grant money etc. they returned a picture I had framed that my daughter made for me with shards of broken glass because they stuck it on the bottom of the bag like the idiots they are and left shards of glass through the entire bag in a way that has me thinking it was not an accident. This place used to be ok, now it is run by a bunch of people who have the i q of a douche and who are clearly incapable of acting civilized. I was wondering if maybe a vacation at a Siberian prison camp would be preferable to another stay at the current maris center for women , what a joke it s the maris pyramid scheme for dirt bags to get paid for closing the office door talking mad sh!t and dipping into the grant money. Did I mention they like to put extra medication that belongs to clients in their safe if they have too much extrA I assume since this was not returned to me either the staff would never pass their own drug tests. This is also illegal. They do not have a license to be holding onto or dispensing medication. I found it interesting I did not get any paperwork about the prescription medication in the safe .. hmmmm I wonder why

There are not words in the english language for me to express how crooked this establishment had become. If you want to be treated like a human being, go somewhere else!

The Maris Center supplied a structured environment with the necessary tools in order for a transformative recovery. It s been about 8 years of sobriety for me thus far one day at a time. This womens center supports a 12 step program, sponsorship, step work, one on one meetings, and holistic wellness. Since the disease of substance does not discriminate, community living gives us all an opportunity to support each other in ways nothing more than miraculous. The Maris showed me to trust the process and a new way of life. Here I am, eight years later as a homeowner, a 4 year old, and heavily into my bachelors program. The recovery work will never stop. That s why I keep coming back to the Maris center to check in, say hi, have cookouts, to donate, or for a meeting. Link House inc. is truly one of the best places to heal on the East Coast. Give yourself the gift of recovery and take the opportunity. You ve got nothing to lose and everything to gain!Joy and Light, Erica
