Substance Abuse on the South Shore
Weymouth and Norfolk County have not been spared from the opioid crisis affecting Massachusetts. While the state overall saw a significant 36% decrease in opioid-related overdose deaths in 2024, Norfolk County was among six counties where deaths actually increased — a reminder that the crisis continues to hit close to home on the South Shore.
Statewide, fentanyl was present in 92% of opioid-related overdose deaths where toxicology was available, and the veterinary sedative xylazine has emerged as a dangerous new adulterant found in 34% of drug samples tested in 2024. Norfolk County has also been identified as having one of the lowest naloxone distribution rates in the state, underscoring the need for expanded treatment access in communities like Weymouth.
Whether you’re struggling with opioid addiction, alcohol dependence, benzodiazepine misuse, or polysubstance use, professional substance abuse treatment makes a real difference. Drug rehab and alcohol rehab for Weymouth residents is available right now — and getting started is easier than you think.
Drug and Alcohol Rehab Programs for Weymouth Residents
Massachusetts Center for Addiction is Joint Commission-accredited—the highest standard of quality in healthcare. As a leading drug treatment center on the South Shore, our drug and alcohol rehabilitation programs include:
Drug and Alcohol Detox Coordination
If you need medical drug detox before starting outpatient treatment, we coordinate placement with accredited detox centers across Massachusetts. Our team handles the logistics — finding the right facility, confirming insurance coverage, and scheduling your admission — then ensures a seamless transition into our programs once you’re medically stabilized.
Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP)
Our Partial Hospitalization Program provides structured day treatment 5 days per week. You spend your days in therapy, skill-building, and clinical sessions, then return home to Weymouth in the evenings. PHP is ideal for clients stepping down from inpatient rehab or detox, or those who need intensive support while living at home.
Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP)
Our Intensive Outpatient Program offers 9–20 hours of therapy per week with flexible scheduling that works around your job, school, or family life. IOP includes individual counseling, group therapy, relapse prevention planning, and daily life-skills development.
Outpatient Drug and Alcohol Rehab
Standard outpatient rehab provides weekly individual and group therapy sessions that reinforce the skills you built in PHP or IOP. This level of care helps you maintain accountability and build long-term recovery into your daily routine.
Medication-Assisted Treatment (MAT)
For clients recovering from opioid or alcohol use disorders, Medication-Assisted Treatment reduces cravings and supports long-term stabilization using medications like naltrexone, buprenorphine, and acamprosate — always combined with therapy.
Sober Living
Many clients benefit from MAT-friendly sober living homes during early recovery. We help Weymouth residents find structured, supportive sober living environments that align with their treatment plan.
Virtual Rehab
We also offer virtual PHP and IOP programs for clients who prefer telehealth, delivering the same evidence-based therapy and clinical support through a secure platform.
Evidence-Based Treatment Approaches
Our clinicians use proven therapies tailored to each client’s needs, including:
- Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) — identifies and changes thought patterns that drive substance use.
- Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) — builds emotional regulation and distress tolerance skills.
- Trauma-informed therapy — addresses the trauma that often underlies addiction.
- Motivational interviewing — strengthens your internal motivation for change.
- Group therapy — connects you with others in recovery for shared support and accountability.
- Family therapy — helps repair relationships and involves loved ones in the recovery process.
Dual Diagnosis Treatment for Weymouth Residents
Many people struggling with addiction also live with co-occurring mental health conditions. Our Dual Diagnosis Program provides integrated care that treats both conditions simultaneously. Because treating one without the other significantly increases the risk of relapse. We provide:
- Anxiety treatment — including generalized anxiety, social anxiety, and panic disorder.
- Depression treatment — addressing persistent depressive disorder and major depression alongside substance use.
- PTSD treatment — trauma-focused therapy for post-traumatic stress disorder, a common driver of substance abuse.
- Bipolar disorder treatment — mood stabilization integrated with addiction recovery.
Every client is evaluated by both a licensed clinician and a psychiatric provider during intake to identify any co-occurring conditions that need to be addressed alongside addiction.
