Watertown Drug Rehab Center

At East Coast Recovery, we provide drug rehab Watertown residents can access no matter their schedule. 

Day and Partial Day Programs

This includes day and partial day programs offering a part time or full time treatment plan. These each give you access to individual and group therapy, as well as family therapy or trauma-informed care where necessary. 

Our day programs are designed as a full-time form of treatment, specifically as an alternative to residential inpatient programs. With these you spend the majority of your nights and weekends at home and participate in a full day of treatment sessions at our facility. These typically take up between 4 and 8 hours per day, most days of the week. However you do have the opportunity to practice the skills you have learned during those sessions when you return home.

Our partial day programs are designed as a part-time alternative to this, ideally suited for people who cannot commit to a full-time treatment program or who want another level down after completing a residential inpatient program. With your partial day program you will have access to the same types of therapies and holistic behavioral interventions including trauma-informed care, family therapy, and mindfulness meditation. However, the majority of these programs take up around 10 hours per week and you only meet for a few hours per day, a few days per week. 

Medication-Assisted Treatment

We also provide medication-assisted treatment (MAT) to help manage withdrawal symptoms and cravings for things like opioid abuse. This can make it easier to get through the initial withdrawal symptoms and remain committed to your recovery long term. 

Medication assisted treatment is a form of detox support that relies on FDA-approved medications to help manage withdrawal symptoms and cravings both during the detox process and during the rest of your therapy. At our facility we incorporate medication assisted treatment alongside our day programs and partial day programs to help increase your success. 

Use of these FDA-approved medications does require commitment to individual and group therapy, increasing your chances of long-term recovery.

Dual Diagnosis

For those who need watertown rehab MA with help for mental health disorders like PTSD, depression, or anxiety, we have a dual diagnosis program. This is a rehab program that tackles co-occurring disorders at the same time. Doing so can increase your chances of successful recovery, giving you the tools to get clean and to manage symptoms that might have contributed to your addiction in the first place. 

Family Therapy

Family therapy can be an opportunity to explore any family dynamics which contribute to addiction. These sessions can be a part of your treatment plan, either with a day or partial day program. They take place at our facility and can include the family members you choose, including close friends, godparents, and other extended family. 

These sessions give everyone an opportunity to sit down and learn more about addiction, express how addiction has impacted them, and rebuild relationships within the family. The sessions might also include learning how to avoid triggers in the family, provide support during recovery, recognize triggers in another, or avoid things like enabling behaviors. 

Trauma-Informed Care

For many people with addiction, trauma is at the root of it. In Massachusetts, this is often tied to childhood trauma or trauma from domestic violence. No matter the cause, our team can help you complete a day or partial day program using trauma-informed care.
This approach involves you, as the client, in a more active role with regard to decisions about your care, avoiding things like retraumatization.

Experiential Therapy

Experiential therapy might be something in which you participate. This is an overarching term for many therapies where you focus on the experiences you had, in a more creative outlet, which can often help uncover associated emotions. 

This can include things like animal-assisted therapy, art therapy, or music therapy. 

Mindfulness Meditation

At East Coast Recovery we believe in a whole-person approach to treatment. Rather than treat the physical addiction alone, we want to treat the physical, emotional, and spiritual aspects at the same time. 

Part of this extends to holistic care practices like mindfulness meditation. While at our facility, you might participate in mindfulness meditation, a form of guided meditation that teaches you to be more mindful or aware of your emotions, the things around you, and the connection between the two. With this practice you can learn to sit with uncomfortable emotions, or intense feelings, without trying to ignore or erase them. Doing so builds things like distress tolerance and emotional regulation, both of which can keep you grounded in the present when things get hard, and help avoid anxiety or depression in recovery.
