Day Treatment Program in Massachusetts | NorthStar Recovery Center
Day Treatment Program in Southborough and West Springfield, MA
What Is the Day Treatment Program at NorthStar Recovery Center?
The day treatment program, at Northstar Recovery Center offers full- or partial-day, immersive addiction recovery services. This means that it offers significantly more structure and support for clients compared to an ordinary outpatient program. However, unlike residential treatment, clients do not stay at the facility. Instead, they live either at home or in a sober living facility.
At Northstar Recovery Center’s day treatment program, clients can expect to spend up to six hours a day, six days a week, on the premises and in a treatment program. This time is dedicated to healing the client’s mental health, substance abuse challenges, and more. The specifics of how this time is spent varies for each client, but it is designed to help individuals heal from substance use disorder and mental health challenges.
WHO WE ARE
Northstar Recovery Center in Southborough and West Springfield, MA, comprises a team of experienced, dedicated, and compassionate addiction treatment professionals. We want to see our community heal from the effects of the opioid epidemic, alcohol addiction, and other substance use disorders. Take the first step to a new life with the help of our clinicians, psychiatrists, psychologists, nurses, and licensed professional counselors.
Comprehensive, Compassionate Care for Lasting Recovery
At Northstar Recovery Center, we believe that every client has their own unique story. Many are riddled with trauma, mental health disorders, and alcohol or drug misuse. However, each client has a specific combination of challenges to overcome. As a result, we believe that comprehensive and compassionate care is most effective for lasting recovery.
Our staff is highly educated and experienced in aiding in these challenges. We hold compassion for each client and know that addiction and mental health challenges place an extreme amount of stress on a person’s life. Comprehensive care in our day treatment program ensures that every client’s needs are addressed, while compassionate care helps our clients see that they are not alone.
Personalized Treatment Plans Tailored to Your Unique Needs
The story of how addiction begins is unique for you and every client that we see. However, in our personalized day treatment plans, we strive to address each specific challenge that you face. This may include helping you heal from a dual diagnosis. However, it may also incorporate healing from trauma, making changes in family dynamics, and more.
Regardless of what specific issues drove you to addiction, you can make a change that will take you step-by-step forward into a new way of living. Essentially, day treatment provides the structure, and our personalized recovery plans are tailored to help you achieve a new and sober life after treatment.
Who Can Benefit From Our Day Treatment Program?
The day treatment program at Northstar Recovery Center is highly beneficial for individuals in need of a highly structured environment for healing from substance abuse but do not require around-the-clock supervision. As a day program, individuals are on a set schedule, arriving and leaving at the same time every day. Their routine within the program is structured and supervised in order for it to be maximally effective in healing.
For Individuals Seeking Intensive, Non-Residential Treatment
Knowing what type of treatment is a good fit is difficult. A person who is a good fit for an intensive, non-residential treatment option like day treatment is someone who is struggling with addiction and mental health. This may include struggling with major depressive disorder, bipolar disorder, or other mental health challenges. These mental health issues can cause individuals to struggle to move forward and heal both their mental health and physical health related to addiction.
However, for a person to have a positive experience in day treatment at Northstar Recovery Center, they need a safe and supportive place to live while not on site. For some clients, this means living at home. However, others do best when living in a sober living or transitional living situation. This is vital for the effective treatment of addiction. When a client has a safe and supportive environment to return to, they learn to change and live their lives in a new and improved way. However, without support at home, the structure of a day program can be significantly less effective.
Supporting Recovery for Alcohol, Opioid, and Cocaine Addiction
The process of recovery from alcohol, opioid, or cocaine addiction is difficult. It requires a significant amount of changes in life. Clients must learn about the deep challenges that have contributed to their addiction. Day treatment offerings at Northstar Recovery Center support the process of recovery. Through varying therapeutic modalities, group psychotherapy, and holistic practices, clients receive the support and structure they need to recover. They address their challenges, learn new skills, and transition slowly out of treatment to address the issues that naturally arise in recovery. No matter how dark it feels, clients can get the support and care they need to heal.
Core Therapies and Services in Our Day Treatment Program
Day programs at Northstar Recovery include certain core therapies and services. These key treatments are evidence-based and help a patient to heal in a holistic and authentic manner. While every patient’s program is unique, commonly, they include these core therapies along the way.
Evidence-Based Therapies to Address Addiction and Trauma
Many different evidence-based therapies help to address both addiction and trauma. At Northstar Recovery Center, we commonly rely on behavioral therapies. This includes cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and dialectical behavior therapy (DBT). While DBT tends to help with addressing emotional dysregulation, both CBT and DBT focus on accepting and changing thoughts, feelings, and actions. In terms of addiction, this means addressing how a patient’s thoughts, feelings, and actions are contributing to their challenges with drugs or alcohol.
Additionally, the day treatment program at Northstar Recovery Center offers acceptance and commitment therapy, along with other psychotherapy options. In acceptance and commitment therapy, clients learn to accept themselves and reframe their perspective.
These psychotherapies and more are options at the day program at Northstar Recovery Center. They serve as a way for clients to heal from the deep wounds that contribute to their challenges with addiction and substance use disorder itself.
Group and Individual Therapy for Peer Support and Personal Growth
Addiction is a disease that thrives in isolation. As a result, healing from addiction is more effective with treatment and support. One part of the day program at Northstar Recovery Center is where clients partake in individual therapy and group therapy. Individual therapy offers a patient a chance to look into their own past and find solutions.
Group therapy offers many benefits to a patient. In group therapy, individuals connect with peers who have similar issues. They grow and learn about themselves and others, seeing addiction as the disease that it is. This support can continue into aftercare, but in group therapy, clients learn how to interact in a healthy and helpful way.
12-Step Integration and Spiritual Development
One kind of peer group that is offered at Northstar Recovery Center is a 12-Step program. As part of a 12-Step program, clients take responsibility for their mistakes, learn to connect with others, and take steps to be different. The program incorporates spiritual development. It is offered both within the day program at Northstar Recovery and as an aftercare service.
Additional Supportive Services at NorthStar
Northstar Recovery offers a significant amount of options for a patient. Along with therapeutic modalities and peer support, clients can incorporate medication-assisted treatment (MAT), family therapy, an vast alumni network, and detox placement if a relapse occurs.
Medication-Assisted Treatment (MAT) Options
When healing from addiction, several medications can assist with recovery. While MAT is not right for every patient, it can ease the transition out of substance use disorder and into sobriety. In conjunction with medication, patients are required to attend psychotherapy sessions and check-ups and ensure they are not abusing the medication. Therefore, they receive the benefits of medication, with the accountability of a program.
Family Involvement and Communication
Each client comes with baggage from their past. While they are seen as an individual, each person is connected to and impacted by their family. As a result, at Northstar Recovery Center, we aim to involve family when possible and helpful.
Family involvement and communication look different for each patient. For some, family group psychotherapy is helpful and effective. Within family psychotherapy, the family focuses on the patient, providing insight and support. In addition, the client learns to communicate their needs, and past issues are addressed in a safe and supportive environment. Specifically for a day program, this is significant, as the patient will be returning home at the end of each day. Therefore, family involvement can help clients get their needs met both while in treatment and after.
