Plymouth Drug Rehab Center

Summary: This article reviews key statistics pertaining to addiction in Plymouth County and what to expect from our Plymouth rehab center.

The Plymouth area has struggled with historic levels of addiction and overdoses. In 2017, fatalities reached their peak within the county, with around 202 deaths, dropping to 93 fatal overdoses in 2024 and 59 in 2025.

Despite these drops and the proactive county-wide Outreach programs and harm reduction programs, fentanyl remains the leading cause of opioid related deaths. Throughout Massachusetts, fentanyl has been found in nearly 92 percent of all reports, with cocaine responsible for 55 percent.

The number of at-risk referrals for people needing assistance has increased by 111 percent over the last few years. Men account for around 70 percent of opioid-related overdoses, but it affects all ages. Those between the ages of 30 and 49 make up over half of the total opioid related overdoses.

Alcohol addiction is equally high, with Plymouth residents reporting high levels of binge drinking, around a percent higher than the national average, with nearly one in five adults classified as excessive drinkers and one in 10 adults struggling with an alcohol addiction.

These rates of addiction have serious health and economic impacts too; alcohol addiction across Plymouth is related to:

  • Alcohol poisoning
  • Alcoholic liver diseases
  • Alcohol related cancers

Men, in fact, are three times more likely to die from alcohol-related causes as compared to women.

Given these high rates, it is important for Plymouth residents to find flexible treatment that is supportive, affordable, and appropriate.

Finding Care near Plymouth, MA

The majority of people with substance use disorders or alcohol use disorders never get the treatment they need. Many people indicate that cost is one of the biggest factors preventing them from finding the right type of Care, but our outpatient programs make Care more affordable by reducing the cost as compared to residential inpatient programs.

Other people find that the commitment of leaving their homes full-time for several months can be highly disruptive, and again, that is where flexible outpatient programs offer comparative levels of treatment to a residential program, with the benefit of being able to return home at night. 

What to Expect from Plymouth Rehab

When you come to our treatment center for outpatient services, you can expect a range of individual and group therapies. All of our services start with an initial assessment. 

When you reach out to our care team, this assessment will help determine which therapies and holistic modalities might work best for you, which therapists you might get along with the most, and which level of Care is best suited to individual needs.

Offering a personalized treatment plan means a combination of individual and group therapies, as well as holistic therapies, scheduled across regular time frames. With our flexible outpatient programs, we make it possible for individuals to participate in programs in the mornings, afternoons, or evenings based on personal schedules, other demands, and preferences.

With multiple levels of Care, clients can transition through the level of support they need most at any given time. While Day Treatment programs are more of a full-time commitment and Partial Day programs tend to be more of a part-time commitment, the duration of the treatment program each client receives is very personal.

Benefits of Outpatient Plymouth Rehab, MA

Plymouth, MA, outpatient programs can be a much more feasible way to get comparable treatment for those in need.

Returning Home

One of the biggest benefits associated with outpatient care for many of our clients is the freedom to return home at the end of each day. With our day and partial day programs, we make it possible for clients to return home in between individual and group therapy sessions.

This brings with it the opportunity to practice the skills that were learned during those sessions in real time. When individuals try certain coping mechanisms or try to establish boundaries at home, they may or may not have success the first time they do it, but that is something that can be discussed and expounded upon during follow-up sessions.

Keeping Costs Low

Other benefits associated with our outpatient programs have to do with the lower cost. By nature, being able to return home alleviates the high cost of room and board that many other residential programs charge. Moreover, insurance can be more flexible when it comes to the length and types of treatments provided in an outpatient program.

Extending Care

Outpatient programs, tangentially, also offer the opportunity to extend the level of Care that is received. With our day and partial day programs, individuals who might need higher levels of Care at the start of their recovery might begin with our full day program, but as their needs change and new goals are met, they can change to a partial day program. 

Who Should Consider Outpatient Care

Our flexible outpatient programs are best for many circumstances.

  • People who don’t need 24-hour supervision and have a supportive and stable living environment
  • Clients who have already completed a higher level of care, like a residential inpatient program, and need continued support
  • Those who have experienced a relapse and need to build their support system and sobriety again
  • People who need flexible schedules that can work around other obligations, like a job, school, or family

There are many people who can benefit from an outpatient program, but the most important thing is having a stable living environment and the ability to transport oneself to and from a treatment center. 

Our activities are held on site, so it’s important that individuals can make arrangements for transportation and be able to commit to a full or part-time schedule of different therapies and modalities throughout the week.
