About Newton Recovery Center
Newton Recovery Center provides outpatient addiction and mental health treatment for adults in Newton and across Greater Boston. Every plan starts with your story, and we treat substance use and mental health together so you can build a recovery that lasts.
Our Story
Built in Newton, for the People Who Live Here
For years, our team has helped people in Newton and across Greater Boston work through addiction and mental health challenges. We’ve been there on the hardest days, and we’ve watched clients rebuild their relationships, careers, and sense of self.
Now, as Newton Recovery Center, we’re focused on one place and the people we serve here. Our clinicians, our location, and our approach to care are the same.
What’s new is a name that reflects who we’ve always been: a local team, rooted in this community.
We believe getting better shouldn’t mean putting your life on hold. Our day treatment, intensive outpatient, and outpatient therapy programs give you real structure and support while you stay at home, at work, and close to the people who matter most.
Our Mission
Our Mission and Approach to Recovery
At Newton Recovery Center, our mission is to help people get better without leaving their lives behind.
Recovery is more than stopping substance use. It means handling stress differently, repairing relationships, and building a life that isn’t centered on drugs or alcohol.
We meet every person where they are, without judgment. Our clinicians treat substance use and mental health together, building each plan around your history and goals and adjusting it as you grow.
Clients leave with practical skills, greater self-awareness, and the confidence to keep moving forward.
Our Levels of Care
Newton Recovery Center offers several outpatient levels of care, so you can start where you need to and step down as you grow stronger.

Our Therapies
Evidence-Based and Holistic Treatment
At Newton Recovery Center, we combine proven clinical therapies with holistic services that support the whole person, including mind, body, and relationships.
Depending on your needs and your program, your care may include:
- Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT): CBT is a structured therapy that helps clients identify patterns between their thoughts, emotions, and behaviors and develop healthier ways of responding.
- Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT): DBT is a skills-based therapy that helps clients manage strong emotions, navigate difficult situations, and improve relationships.
- Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT): This approach helps clients accept difficult experiences while making choices that reflect their values and goals.
- Trauma-Focused Therapy: Trauma-focused therapy is designed to help clients understand and work through the effects of distressing or traumatic experiences.
- Individual and Group Therapy: These provide different settings for exploring personal concerns, developing coping skills, and learning through interaction with others.
- Yoga and Meditation: These wellness practices can promote relaxation, mindfulness, and greater awareness of the mind-body connection.
- Art and Music Therapy: Creative activities are used to help clients express emotions, explore experiences, and communicate in ways that may feel more natural.
- Fitness and Nutrition Services: Fitness and nutrition services focus on healthy habits that can help clients pay greater attention to their physical health during recovery.
- Complementary Services: Complementary services such as acupuncture and Reiki may be incorporated into treatment when appropriate to complement other therapeutic and wellness services.
Meet Our Massachusetts Treatment Team
Our licensed clinicians bring deep experience in addiction and mental health care, along with a genuinely compassionate approach.
At Newton Recovery Center, you’ll find a welcoming space to talk honestly, work through challenges, and take real steps toward lasting recovery.
Supporting Long-Term Recovery
Completing treatment is an important accomplishment, but recovery continues after scheduled treatment ends. Returning to familiar routines can bring challenges, including stress, cravings, and situations that once contributed to substance use.
Our approach encourages clients to develop skills they can carry into everyday life, such as recognizing triggers, managing emotions, communicating effectively, and making choices that protect recovery.
Moving between levels of care can also make the transition more gradual. A person may begin with a more intensive program and continue through IOP or outpatient treatment as greater independence becomes appropriate.
