Saugus Alcohol & Drug Treatment Programs

The over 70 treatment programs in Saugus offer a range of different treatment approaches to meet your needs. These approaches can include:

• medical detox
• inpatient/residential treatment
• outpatient treatment

• dual-diagnosis treatment for co-occurring mental health disorders
• aftercare

Medical Drug & Alcohol Detox

Medical detox or detoxification is one of the first programs you’re likely to go through when starting addiction treatment. It’s a relatively short-term process where healthcare professionals watch over you while you withdraw from drugs and /or alcohol.

When you withdraw, withdrawal symptoms can show up and be unpleasant if not life-threatening. The doctors in the detox program offer varying methods of support to relieve some of the more uncomfortable symptoms. 

Residential/Inpatient Drug Rehab

Inpatient drug and alcohol rehab includes services like behavioral therapy, group therapy, and other mental health services. You’ll learn more about addiction and coping skills to help with cravings.

During inpatient treatment, you stay at the facility for the length of your rehab program. A stay can range from a couple of weeks to a few months.

Outpatient Treatment

Intensive outpatient programs (IOPs) and partial hospital programs (PHPs) are two common outpatient rehab programs. They offer similar services as inpatient treatment.

The biggest difference between inpatient treatment and outpatient treatment is that you commute to the rehab center for daily or weekly sessions as opposed to living there on site.

Opioid & Alcohol Treatment Programs

Medicated-assisted treatment (MAT) can be a big part of recovery programs for opioid drug addiction and alcohol addiction. 

In this type of treatment, medical professionals prescribe medication like buprenorphine and naltrexone to help ease cravings or stop the euphoric feeling that comes when taking opioids or alcohol. 

Aftercare

Just because you graduate from treatment doesn’t mean the support you receive at the facility needs to end. 

Many recovery centers have aftercare support programs that offer sober-living housing, 12-step support groups, and counseling. This type of support can make the chances of long-term recovery more likely.

Using Health Insurance For Addiction Treatment In Saugus, Massachusetts

If you have private health insurance or Medicare/Medicaid, you can use your benefits to cover the cost of your addiction treatment. To learn more about what your insurance covers when it comes to recovery services, you can:
