Paramount Recovery Centers: Top Rehab in Massachusetts

We Have Answers to Your Questions

• What types of addiction do you treat?

  We treat both substance addictions and behavioral addictions, recognizing that addiction affects not just the body but also the mind and emotions.

  Substance addictions involve drugs or alcohol that physically alter the brain and create dependence. We help people struggling with alcohol, opioids, prescription drugs, cocaine, methamphetamine, marijuana, amphetamines, hallucinogens, inhalants, PCP, tobacco and more.

  Behavioral addictions don’t involve substances, but they can be just as powerful. These include compulsive behaviors like gambling, internet and social media addiction, pornography addiction, shopping addiction, exercise addiction, and more. Many people struggling with substance use also find themselves caught in unhealthy patterns of behavior that can take over their lives. We address both substance and behavioral addictions to help people regain control.

  Since addiction often goes hand in hand with mental health challenges like anxiety, depression, and impulse control disorders, we also offer dual diagnosis treatment. By treating the whole person—not just the addiction—we help people find lasting recovery and a healthier way forward.

• How long does treatment last?

  The length of treatment varies for each person, depending on factors like the severity of addiction, the substance used, and individual progress. Detox is usually the first step and can last anywhere from a few days to a couple of weeks, depending on withdrawal symptoms and medical needs. After detox, inpatient rehab programs typically last 30, 60, or 90 days, though some people benefit from a longer stay. Partial hospitalization programs, which provide structured treatment while allowing for more independence, usually last anywhere from a few weeks to a couple of months. Intensive outpatient programs often continue for about eight to twelve weeks, with therapy sessions multiple times per week, while standard outpatient care can last several months or longer, depending on ongoing needs.

  Because recovery is a lifelong process, treatment doesn’t necessarily end after a set number of days. Long-term success often depends on ongoing support, including therapy, aftercare programs, and peer support groups. We work with each person to develop a plan that helps them stay on track and build a strong foundation for lasting sobriety.

• What therapies do you use in treatment?

  We use a mix of evidence-based and holistic therapies to help people recover from addiction and build a solid foundation for long-term sobriety. Our approach blends traditional talk therapy, hands-on experiential therapies, and specialized treatment methods to address both addiction and any underlying mental health struggles.

  Our therapy options include cognitive-behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, motivational enhancement therapy, and relapse prevention therapy. These approaches help people recognize negative thought patterns, manage emotions, work through trauma, and develop healthier coping skills. For those dealing with both addiction and mental health challenges, our dual diagnosis treatment provides integrated care to address both at the same time.

  We also offer different recovery paths, including the 12-Step model and SMART Recovery, so individuals can find the approach that works best for them. Since addiction affects not just the individual but also their loved ones, we provide family therapy and educational workshops to rebuild relationships and strengthen support systems.

  By combining different therapeutic methods, we create a personalized treatment experience that helps individuals heal, grow, and stay on the path to lasting recovery.

• Do you offer aftercare support?

  Yes, aftercare is a crucial part of long-term recovery, and we provide ongoing support to help individuals maintain sobriety after completing treatment. Recovery doesn’t end when someone leaves our program—it’s a lifelong journey, and we’re committed to helping each person stay on track.

  Our aftercare services include continued therapy, relapse prevention planning, and access to support groups like 12-Step meetings and SMART Recovery. We also offer alumni programs that provide a strong network of peers who understand the challenges of staying sober.

  Having a solid aftercare plan increases the chances of long-term success, and we work closely with each person to develop a plan that fits their unique needs. Whether it’s through ongoing counseling, peer support, or structured recovery programs, we make sure no one has to navigate life after treatment alone.

• Do you provide treatment for co-occurring mental health disorders?

  We offer specialized treatment for individuals struggling with both addiction and co-occurring mental health disorders. Many people battling substance use also experience conditions like anxiety, depression, PTSD, bipolar disorder, or other mental health challenges. Our dual diagnosis treatment approach ensures that both issues are treated at the same time, rather than addressing addiction separately from mental health.

  Treating addiction without addressing underlying mental health concerns can make long-term recovery more difficult. That’s why our team takes a comprehensive approach, providing the support and tools needed to help individuals achieve lasting recovery and improved mental health.

• Can family be involved in the treatment process?

  Family involvement is an important part of the recovery process, and we encourage loved ones to participate in treatment whenever possible. Addiction doesn’t just affect the individual—it impacts the entire family. Healing relationships, improving communication, and building a strong support system can make a significant difference in long-term recovery.

  We offer family therapy sessions, educational workshops, and support groups to help loved ones understand addiction, set healthy boundaries, and learn how to provide effective support. These sessions give family members a safe space to express their feelings, work through past challenges, and rebuild trust.
