Step-Down Continuum of Quality Care

Clients at Wellness Resource Center transition through 2 Phases of recovery. Phase 1 is a day treatment (or partial hospitalization) program with 7 days of weekly treatment. Apartment-style housing offers a safe and substance-free residence. Treatment takes place from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday, and 9 a.m. to 12 p.m. on weekends. Clients meet regularly with their on-site medical director, psychiatrist, full-time nurses, and primary therapist. During Phase 2, clients begin intensive outpatient care. Evening sessions take place from 6-9 p.m. Monday-Friday. Clients can continue living in on-site housing, transitional living, or at home.

Tailored Healing Approaches

Wellness Resource Center’s staff includes psychiatrists, psychologists, nurses, therapists, nutritionists, and social workers. They provide a blend of evidence-based and holistic therapies, including cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavioral therapy (DBT), 12-Step facilitation, equine therapy, experiential group therapy, and nutritional therapy. Groups and psychoeducation topics focus on life skills, relapse prevention strategies, and anger management. The amount of time each client spends during Phase 1 and 2 of their recovery is specifically tailored and customizable depending on the client's needs and recommendations from staff.

Family Care And Peaceful Accommodations

Wellness Resource Center encourages family involvement during treatment. Their family program invites family members onsite for a weekend, providing educational groups and therapy sessions.

This unfortunately was not a good fit for my daughter for personal reasons regarding her, but I will say even 2 weeks after my daughter left their program, they went above and beyond to help me make sure my child was safe in Florida (as we are all from Massachusetts) and they are even providing her with a sober escort to the airport tomorrow to get her back up here so that she is definitely safe and that means more to me than anything. If you have any issues, their team will work with you as much as you need to find solutions and I’ve been very satisfied by that!

My wife was at Wellness Resource Center and it was a complete nightmare from my perspective. Once a "client" is admitted they surrender all rights at the door. They meet all the conditions of a captive. The front line staff are so unprofessional. They don't know how to answer phones. They don't know how to be nice. Everyone I saw or talked to who works there seems miserable. My wife told me that it was horrible. She barely ate anything during her time there. Everyone gives you a hard time when you try to see how things are going. There is something not right behind the scenes. I would suggest you stay away from this one. My wife's words: "They sold us a bill of goods - it's not like they said it would be."
