About Charles River Recovery
Charles River Recovery provides detox, clinical stabilization services, and residential treatment for clients with addiction and dual-diagnoses. Their multidisciplinary team addresses substance use and mental health conditions with an initial assessment, medically supervised detox, and intensive clinical stabilization. Charles River Recovery strives to engrain research with clinical care, combining both to deliver integrative care all in one setting.
Research-Backed Clinical Care
Charles River Recovery offers medically supervised detox, with a clinical team monitoring symptoms and comfort levels 24/7. They provide medication-assisted treatment on an individual basis, prescribing non-addictive medications to help ease withdrawal symptoms and provide comfort. After detoxing from alcohol or other substances, clients move into a clinical stabilization service (CSS) and begin intensive therapies, wellness activities, and more.
Trauma-Informed Treatment
Charles River Recovery begins trauma-informed therapy after clients complete their medical detox. Their intensive group and individual therapy sessions help identify the past or current traumas that may cause addiction, and other mental health concerns or stressors. Charles River Recovery strives to support each client in their recovery, treating their unique stories and lives with the respect clients deserve.
Comprehensive Healing
Clients at Charles River Recovery can experience a variety of holistic, wellness-focused therapies throughout their treatment. Charles River Recovery offers yoga, music therapy, art therapy, on-site fitness opportunities, and a theater room for quiet movie nights. Their pet program periodically welcomes friendly support animals like dogs, and occasionally, a duck. Charles River Recovery provides shared and private bedrooms.

Your Care Options
Specializations
Alcohol
Using alcohol as a coping mechanism, or drinking excessively throughout the week, signals an alcohol use disorder.
Detox
Detox fully and safely removes toxic substances from the body, allowing the next steps in treatment to begin with a clean slate.
Cocaine
Cocaine is a stimulant with euphoric effects. Agitation, muscle ticks, psychosis, and heart issues are common symptoms of cocaine abuse.
Depression
Symptoms of depression may include fatigue, a sense of numbness, and loss of interest in activities. This condition can range from mild to severe.
Drug Addiction
Drug addiction is the excessive and repetitive use of substances, despite harmful consequences to a person's life, health, and relationships.
Heroin
Heroin is a highly addictive and illegal opioid. It can cause insomnia, collapsed veins, heart issues, and additional mental health issues.
Methamphetamine
Methamphetamine, or meth, increases energy, agitation, and paranoia. Long-term use can result in severe physical and mental health issues.
Prescription Drugs
It's possible to abuse any drug, even prescribed ones. If you crave a medication, or regularly take it more than directed, you may have an addiction.
Who We Treat
Men and Women
Men and women attend treatment for addiction in a co-ed setting, going to therapy groups together to share experiences, struggles, and successes.
Approaches
Evidence-Based
A combination of scientifically rooted therapies and treatments make up evidence-based care, defined by their measured and proven results.
Family Involvement
Providers involve family in the treatment of their loved one through family therapy, visits, or both–because addiction is a family disease.
Individual Treatment
Individual care meets the needs of each patient, using personalized treatment to provide them the most relevant care and greatest chance of success.
Medical
Medical addiction treatment uses approved medications to manage withdrawals and cravings, and to treat contributing mental health conditions.
Personalized Treatment
The specific needs, histories, and conditions of individual patients receive personalized, highly relevant care throughout their recovery journey.
Therapies
1-on-1 Counseling
Patient and therapist meet 1-on-1 to work through difficult emotions and behavioral challenges in a personal, private setting.
Family Therapy
Family therapy addresses group dynamics within a family system, with a focus on improving communication and interrupting unhealthy relationship patterns.
Life Skills
Teaching life skills like cooking, cleaning, clear communication, and even basic math provides a strong foundation for continued recovery.
Medication-Assisted Treatment
Combined with behavioral therapy, prescribed medications can enhance treatment by relieving withdrawal symptoms and focus patients on their recovery.
Meditation & Mindfulness
A practiced state of mind that brings patients to the present. It allows them to become fully aware of themselves, their feelings, and the present moment.
Motivational Interviewing
Based on the idea that motivation to change comes from within, providers use a conversational framework to discover personalized methods for change.
Nutrition Counseling
Nutritious food helps patients heal from within, setting them up for mental and bodily wellness as they learn about healthy eating.
