High-pressure careers, long work hours, and a bar-packed waterfront make it easy to blur lines between celebration and dependence. Many Seaport professionals mask growing alcohol or drug problems with success at work—until relationships, health, or career stability crack. Complicating matters, more than six in ten people with substance use disorder also battle anxiety, depression, or trauma, notes the National Institute on Drug Abuse. Effective recovery must therefore treat both addiction and underlying mental health, without derailing busy schedules.
Situated at 215 Chief Justice Cushing Highway, Cohasset, MA 02025—just a 35- to 45-minute drive or a 50-minute ride on the MBTA Greenbush Line—East Coast Recovery gives Seaport clients space to breathe without severing city ties. The seaside campus offers sunlit therapy rooms, an outdoor green space for cookouts, and Friday group sessions right on the beach. You’ll trade traffic horns for gull calls, focusing on healing rather than daily triggers—all while staying close enough for evening dinners with family or weekend check-ins with work.
The center carries Joint Commission accreditation—health care’s gold standard for safety and effectiveness— (check out our profile on Recovery.com). That means every therapy protocol, medication procedure, and staff credential meets rigorous national benchmarks.
East Coast Recovery’s clinicians specialize in co-occurring disorders, weaving psychiatric care into every treatment plan. Therapies include:
Because healing thrives in variety, clients also explore mindfulness sessions, experiential outings, and nature-based groups—an approach supported by a 2023 systematic review in Frontiers in Psychology showing that nature-based interventions can reduce cravings and improve mood in substance use populations.
Your career doesn’t freeze when treatment begins—so programs are built for flexibility.
Throughout every level, family therapy sessions (in person or via telehealth) mend relationships and educate loved ones on healthy support.
Addiction thrives in isolation; recovery flourishes in connection. At East Coast Recovery, you’ll join beach bonfires, hiking excursions, and community volunteer days—activities that prove sober living can be vibrant, not restrictive. Weekly transportation shuttles bring clients to 12-step or SMART Recovery meetings around the South Shore, helping you build a support lattice that extends back to Boston.
Most clients drive via I-93 S → MA-3 S; parking is free on campus. Prefer public transit? Board the MBTA Greenbush Line at South Station—Cohasset Station is just two stops beyond Hingham. A quick rideshare covers the final mile. East Coast Recovery’s admissions team can also coordinate pickup for first-day intake if transportation is a barrier.
East Coast Recovery accepts the majority of private insurers (Blue Cross Blue Shield, Aetna, Cigna, Tufts, and more). Admissions staff verify benefits in minutes and outline any out-of-pocket costs; many clients pay little to nothing after coverage. Scholarship or financing plans are available because financial stress should never stand between you and sobriety.
When high-performance living in the Seaport collides with substance misuse, choosing help feels daunting. Yet a single call can redirect your path. Speak with an admissions specialist at (617) 390-8349 today; they’ll answer questions, verify insurance, and schedule your confidential intake. Recovery is closer than you think—both geographically and emotionally.
Length depends on your level of care. Day Treatment typically runs four to six weeks full-time; Evening Partial Day Treatment Program lets many clients keep a standard 9-to-5 job while attending sessions after work. Admissions will collaborate with you (and, if requested, your employer) to craft a schedule that protects both health and career.
If you’re currently dependent on alcohol, opioids, or benzodiazepines, a brief medical detox—often at a partner facility in Boston—may be needed first. East Coast Recovery coordinates those referrals and arranges a seamless transition into Day Treatment Program or Partial Day Treatment Program once you’re medically stable.
Absolutely. Family involvement is encouraged. Loved ones can attend weekly family therapy (on-site or via secure video) and may visit the campus during designated hours. If you choose sober living, weekend passes allow visits home to Seaport once clinically approved.
MAT uses medications like buprenorphine or naltrexone to stabilize brain chemistry, reduce cravings, and lower relapse risk. When combined with counseling—as endorsed by SAMHSA—MAT improves survival rates, treatment retention, and employment outcomes without producing the euphoric high of illicit opioids.
Yes. East Coast Recovery fosters an inclusive environment where clients of all identities receive respectful, individualized care. Staff receive ongoing cultural-competency training, and therapy groups address stigma and minority stress that often intersect with addiction.
