Boxborough Drug Rehab Center

Recovery is a gradual process, one where clients develop awareness and knowledge of things like:

• Negative experiences 
• Traumas
• Triggers for relapse
• Communication 
• Trust 
• Social support 

With therapy, clients work with our team to learn how to trust people again, including themselves, how to communicate effectively regarding needs or struggles, and how to reach out for support in recovery. 

Studies have found that successful recovery relies on multiple interventions and therapy types, especially at different stages in the recovery process. 

Group Therapy

Group therapy is a key part of recovery, with studies indicating that group therapy can help identify community factors that might need to be addressed as part of successful recovery. 

We provide several types of group therapy sessions facilitated by different mental health leaders. Some of these sessions might include dialectical behavioral skill building, where you can learn to handle difficult emotions and change negative behaviors in response to challenges. 

Other forms of group therapy might be curated to your needs, like cognitive behavioral therapy or holistic group therapy, like our K-9 program. 

Individual Therapy

Part of our day programs and partial day programs incorporate individual counseling sessions where you have a chance to discuss things like your recovery challenges or your sobriety goals.

We aim to connect you with professionals who can support your recovery and, if necessary, connect you to outpatient centers, ongoing psychiatrists, or private practices that can offer support when you leave our treatment center. 

Family Therapy

At East Coast Recovery, we offer family therapy as a way for clients to:

• Build newer, healthier boundaries
• Learn to better communicate
• Address dysfunction in family dynamics
• Work toward healing 

Family involvement is another critical part of recovery, as there are often familial factors that contribute to addiction or recovery. 

Disorders never affect an individual in isolation. And having family to support recovery means individuals attending our outpatient Boxborough drug rehab are more likely to succeed. Still, many families don’t know how best to support a loved one. 

And if families are not involved in the recovery process, they may never learn how to properly support their loved one, how to communicate more effectively, or solve problems together.

Trauma Therapy

At East Coast Recovery Center, our trauma therapy program is there to help individuals recover from traumatic experiences in their past. In so doing, clients are empowered to move beyond unhealthy coping mechanisms like substance abuse. 

We know how common the overlap is between trauma and stress, especially for people struggling with PTSD. That is why our trauma therapy is there to help individuals tackle the lingering consequences of previous traumas in a safe environment. 

Our trauma therapy involves three key phases:

1. Stabilization: This is where you learn to feel safe and secure, incorporating self-care and self-soothing approaches to manage your stress without turning to drugs or alcohol.
2. Remembrance: This is where you remember the traumatic experiences, express the feelings associated with them, and learn about the impact that this untreated trauma has had on your present actions.
3. Reintegration: This is where you learn to accept your trauma and move forward, thereby making it easier to function in daily life.

These steps work in order to leave clients more empowered, overcoming symptoms of physical or emotional trauma.

Our case managers will review the progress you make and offer recommendations for overlapping and complementary forms of treatment, like cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavioral therapy, where you can learn how to incorporate positive thinking over unhelpful and negative thinking, as well as how to better handle difficult emotions. All of these can be complementary to our trauma therapy, giving you the highest chance of a successful recovery.
