Our Levels of Care
Finding the Right Fit for Your Recovery
We offer a continuum of care designed to meet you exactly where you are. Whether you are stepping down from a detox program or taking the first step in seeking help, we have a structured program for you.
Structured Support for a Strong Foundation
Our Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP), often called Day Treatment, is our most intensive level of care. It is designed for individuals who need significant structure and medical monitoring but do not require 24-hour residential supervision.
-
Who it’s for: Individuals who need a full day of structured therapy to stabilize their health and mental well-being.
-
What to expect: You will spend your days at our comfortable Massachusetts facility, engaging in individual therapy, group counseling, and holistic activities.
-
The Goal: To stabilize physical and emotional health, build a strong foundation for sobriety, and prepare for the next step in recovery.
Is PHP right for you? If you are struggling to stay sober on your own and need a safe, immersive environment to hit “reset,” this is the place to start.
Flexibility Meets Focus
Our Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP) offers a balance between rigorous treatment and independent living. It is ideal for those who have completed a PHP program or for those who need support while maintaining work, school, or family commitments.
-
Who it’s for: Individuals ready to start transitioning back into their daily routines while maintaining a strong safety net of clinical support.
-
What to expect: Flexible sessions (often available in the mornings or evenings) that fit your schedule. You will continue therapy and peer support groups.
-
The Goal: To help you apply recovery skills in real-time, navigate triggers in your daily life, and build long-term resilience.
Sustaining Your Success
Recovery is a lifelong journey. Our Outpatient Treatment (OP) provides ongoing support as you fully reintegrate into your life. This is the maintenance phase of recovery, ensuring you stay connected to your sober community and have a space to process life’s challenges.

Specialized Tracks: Treatment Designed for You
No two stories are the same. That is why we don’t offer cookie-cutter treatment. We have developed specialized tracks to address the unique challenges faced by different groups of people.
Dual Diagnosis Treatment
Healing the Mind and the Addiction It is very common for addiction to exist alongside mental health challenges like anxiety, depression, PTSD, or bipolar disorder. This is called a “co-occurring disorder” or Dual Diagnosis. If you only treat the addiction and ignore the mental health struggle, recovery is much harder to maintain. At Refresh Recovery, we treat both at the same time for comprehensive healing.
Trauma-Informed Care
Safety First, Always For many, trauma is the root cause of substance use. Our staff is trained in trauma-informed care. This means we prioritize your emotional safety above all else. We ask, “What happened to you?” rather than “What is wrong with you?” We use therapies like EMDR to help you process past pain without being re-traumatized.
Men’s and Women’s Programs
Safe Spaces to Be Vulnerable Gender-specific treatment allows for deeper connection and safety.
-
Men’s Program: Focuses on breaking down the stigma of vulnerability, managing anger and stress, and building a brotherhood of support.
-
Women’s Program: Addresses unique challenges such as relationships, trauma, body image, and parenting, creating a sisterhood of empowerment.
Veterans and First Responders
Honoring Your Service We offer specialized support for those who have served. We understand the unique weight of PTSD, occupational stress, and the culture of service. Our program helps you find new ways to cope with the things you have seen and experienced.
Professionals Program
Protecting Your Career and Your Health We know that professionals face high pressure and fear losing their careers. Our discreet program allows you to get the help you need while learning to manage work-related stress and burnout without substances.
