THERAPY PROGRAMS IN MASSACHUSETTS
NORTHSTAR RECOVERY CENTERDay Treatment Program in Southborough, MA, and Springfield, MA
Massachusetts, like the rest of the United States, has an addiction crisis. For example, the Commonwealth of Massachusetts typically has a spot on the top ten list for opioid overdose deaths, while about a third of rehab admissions in Massachusetts are for alcohol addiction. There is certainly a need for behavioral health services in Massachusetts.
What do we mean by behavioral health? Behavioral health encompasses the “big picture,” meaning that the physical and mental behaviors—and psychological factors—that affect our health are evaluated as a whole and worked through by individuals in partnership with professionals.
Therapy programs in Massachusetts, with a behavioral health perspective, will include treatments for mental health disorders and substance abuse addiction. As behaviors that affect overall mental and physical health, and are often affected by mental and physical health, drug and alcohol abuse are treated within a behavioral health spectrum.

Individual, Group, and Family Counseling in Massachusetts
Some people discover that they have a substance abuse problem when they are in an individual or group therapy program in Massachusetts. Others, determined to stop the cycle of addiction, are guided to seek counseling or a therapy program as part of their recovery at a drug and alcohol rehab center in Massachusetts. Still, others never seek help for a variety of reasons. They may be in denial about their issues, afraid of being judged by a society that stigmatizes addiction and mental health struggles, or unaware of their options.

Wrap-around care includes individual, group, and family counseling that approaches the whole person and understands the behavioral health model. Behavioral health treatment recognizes how co-occurring disorders, trauma, family dynamics, physical health, pain management, genetics, and more all fit into the addiction profile.
Three Cornerstones of Therapy Programs in Massachusetts
When you enroll in treatment for drug or alcohol addiction in Massachusetts with Northstar Recovery Center, your individual and group programs will likely include these three key elements:
- Individual counseling – This is a One-on-one therapy program between you and your therapist. This is fundamental to healing and recovery from addiction. Individual counseling is a collaboration between the therapist and the client based on open communication and mutual respect. Together, they set goals – formulating a plan for breaking harmful, addictive patterns and underlying healing issues so the client can live a happier and more fulfilling life. The clinician, professional and safe, is there at every step to help you open doors to personal experiences and support and guide you to meet and overcome fears and heal past trauma. Individual therapy is almost always experienced in conjunction with other treatments.
- Group counseling – Peer interaction and support have been proven time and again to have an enormous positive impact on recovery outcomes. In most settings, group therapy is a core element in addiction recovery. The support of others who walk the same path you do is powerful. Group therapy is a safe place to practice new behaviors and try out healthier forms of communication. Under the therapeutic guidance of a professional, the group members work together to support one another, model vulnerability, and the desire to heal and hold each other accountable.
- Family counseling – Addiction has long been recognized as a family disease. It puts an enormous strain on family members. The family unit becomes dysfunctional and fragile as each person finds coping mechanisms, many of which are damaging to everyone and can even contribute to the cycle of addiction. Engaging family in the recovery process, when possible and appropriate, is best done in a safe, supervised setting in family counseling with a trained therapist. As healing happens for everyone, the client’s process is enhanced and supported.
