Boston Treatment Centers
Finding the right treatment can feel overwhelming, especially when substance use, mental health symptoms, or both have begun affecting your daily life. At Newton Recovery Center, our Boston treatment centers provide a place to step away from patterns that may no longer be working and begin addressing what is underneath them.
Through evidence-based treatment, therapy, medical services, and holistic care, we help individuals work toward greater stability and a healthier direction for the future.
About Our Boston Treatment Centers
Located just outside Boston, Newton Recovery Center provides treatment for substance use and mental health concerns. The need for accessible treatment is evident across the state: according to the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA), almost 20% of Massachusetts residents age 12 and older experienced a substance use disorder in the past year during 2021–2023. This figure highlights how many individuals and families throughout Massachusetts may be affected by substance use and could benefit from professional treatment.
Treatment is not limited to one diagnosis or one type of experience. Our clinical approach can address addiction, mental health conditions, trauma, and co-occurring concerns while incorporating different therapies and services throughout treatment. The goal is to understand the whole person rather than reduce someone to a diagnosis.
What We Treat
Substance use and mental health concerns can affect nearly every part of life, from relationships and work to physical well-being and emotional health. Newton Recovery Center treats a range of concerns, including:
Substance Use
Substance use can gradually become difficult to control, even when someone recognizes the consequences it is creating. Treatment can address alcohol, opioids, stimulants, prescription medications, and other substances while helping individuals understand the behaviors, emotions, and circumstances that contribute to continued use. Care may include therapy, medication-related services, relapse-prevention work, and other clinical approaches.
Mental Health
Depression, anxiety, trauma-related conditions, mood disorders, and other mental health concerns can make everyday responsibilities feel increasingly difficult. Treatment at Newton Recovery Center can focus on the symptoms themselves while also exploring the experiences and patterns contributing to them. Mental health care may include psychotherapy, psychiatric services, medication management, and holistic therapies
Alcohol Use Disorder (AUD)
Alcohol use disorder can develop gradually, making it difficult to recognize when drinking has moved beyond occasional use. Signs may include drinking more than intended, unsuccessful attempts to cut back, experiencing cravings, or continuing to drink despite problems at home, work, or in relationships. Treatment for AUD can help address both alcohol use and the underlying factors that may be keeping the cycle going.
Drug Addiction
Drug addiction can affect judgment, relationships, physical health, emotional well-being, and a person’s ability to manage everyday responsibilities. Whether substance use involves opioids, stimulants, prescription medications, or another drug, treatment can provide an opportunity to examine the role the substance has taken in your life. Treatment often combines therapy, medical services, behavioral strategies, and relapse-prevention planning.
Dual Diagnosis
Some people seeking addiction treatment are also living with depression, anxiety, PTSD, bipolar disorder, or another mental health condition. When substance use and mental health concerns occur together, treating only one may leave important parts of the problem unaddressed. Newton Recovery Center provides dual-diagnosis treatment that considers both concerns within the broader treatment process.
What To Expect During Treatment
Beginning treatment does not mean you are expected to have everything figured out before you arrive. The process generally begins with an assessment of your substance use, mental health, medical history, current circumstances, and treatment needs. This information helps our compassionate team determine what level of care and combination of services may be appropriate.
As treatment continues, you may participate in individual and group therapy, family services, medication-related care, and other therapeutic or holistic options. Treatment can also include conversations about relapse prevention, coping with difficult emotions, relationships, daily responsibilities, and what you want life to look like after treatment.
Programs We Offer at Our Boston Treatment Centers
Treatment needs can vary considerably from one person to another. Newton Recovery Center offers different levels of care so treatment can be matched to the intensity of care someone needs at a particular point in recovery.
Our programs include:
- Day Treatment: Day treatment provides a more intensive level of outpatient care for people who need frequent therapeutic services while continuing to live at home.
- Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP): Through IOP, individuals can participate in regular treatment while maintaining work, school, family, and other daily responsibilities.
- Outpatient Treatment: Outpatient treatment offers ongoing clinical care for those who do not require the intensity of a day treatment or IOP program.
Our Therapies & Services
Therapy is an important part of treatment, but it is not the only component. Newton Recovery Center brings together clinical, medical, behavioral, and holistic services that can be incorporated according to a person’s circumstances and treatment plan.
Our therapeutic interventions include the following:
DBT teaches practical skills for managing difficult emotions, coping with distress, and navigating relationships.
CBT helps individuals recognize unhelpful thought patterns and develop healthier ways of responding to challenges.
ACT encourages people to make choices based on their values while learning to respond differently to difficult thoughts and emotions.
These therapies incorporate approaches that address overall well-being alongside traditional clinical treatment.
This setting creates an opportunity to address relationship concerns, improve communication, and involve loved ones in the treatment process.
Trauma therapy focuses on experiences that may continue to affect emotional health, relationships, and day-to-day life.
Individual Therapy
Individual therapy provides private time to explore personal concerns, treatment goals, and experiences with a therapist.
Group therapy
Peer settings bring people together to work on shared challenges while learning from the experiences and perspectives of others.
How Do I Know I Need Treatment?
There is no single moment or set of symptoms that determines when someone needs professional treatment. If substance use or mental health concerns are becoming harder to manage on your own, it may be worth speaking with a treatment professional.
Consider reaching out if you have noticed:
- Drinking or drug use that feels difficult to control
- Repeated attempts to stop or cut back without lasting success
- Increasing tolerance or cravings
- Withdrawal symptoms when you stop using a substance
- Depression, anxiety, trauma symptoms, or mood changes affecting daily life
- Substance use being used to cope with stress or difficult emotions
- Problems at work, school, home, or in relationships
- Pulling away from people or activities you once enjoyed
- Continuing a behavior despite recognizing its consequences
- A combination of mental health and substance use concerns
- Feeling that your current coping methods are no longer enough
Does Insurance Cover Treatment?
Many health insurance plans provide coverage for mental health and substance use treatment, although the amount covered depends on your specific plan, benefits, provider network, diagnosis, and level of care. Newton Recovery Center accepts insurance and can help verify your benefits before treatment begins. Speaking with the admissions team can give you a better understanding of what your plan may cover and whether you may have out-of-pocket expenses.
