About Charles River Recovery
Charles River Recovery in Cambridge, Massachusetts offers medical detox and medication assisted treatment (MAT) for clients who are struggling with addictions to drugs and alcohol. Their team includes clinicians, physicians, and addiction treatment specialists that will give you the level of care that’s right for you.
Detox is often the first step in anybody’s treatment journey. During this stage, drugs and other substances will be removed from your system. It’s important to be medically supervised during this process as life-threatening withdrawal symptoms are possible. At Charles River Recovery, detox is medically managed by licensed professionals in a medical setting. Patients are observed 24/7 to ensure they’re as safe and comfortable as possible. The medical team will also prescribe non-habit-forming medications to ease symptoms.
Once you’re stabilized, you can continue with their MAT services. You will be prescribed FDA-approved medication that has been proven to benefit opioid and alcohol use recovery. These medications reduce cravings and symptoms. MAT can be part of different levels of care including outpatient treatment. MAT also incorporates counseling and support services to give you a comprehensive package for lasting recovery and improved quality of life.
Charles River Recovery provides all meals and comfortable accommodations which can be semi-private or private during your inpatient detox. You’ll also have access to an outdoor courtyard, games room, and a range of fitness equipment.
They have intake coordinators available 24/7 to guide you through getting started. I like that they are accessible any time of day for your convenience. They can even arrange for transportation to get you to their center. Charles River Recovery accepts most insurance plans.
