About Gosnold at Emerson House

Gosnold at Emerson House is accredited by The Joint Commission as a residential facility that offers clinical stabilization services. Services include treatment for substance use and co-occurring disorders. They also offer medication assisted treatment (MAT) for detoxing from opiates and alcohol. The facility has 48 beds and is located on West Falmouth Highway in West Falmouth, Massachusetts.

While in the program, you’ll participate in evidence based practices to help you break your physical and emotional substance dependence. You’ll have a psychiatric and psychological assessment for MAT. MAT treatment may include drugs like methadone, buprenorphine, and naltrexone. Although some people worry that using these medications may be switching from one addiction to another, this isn’t the case. MAT treatment has been shown effective in helping people detox from dangerous opioids. If you use MAT, you’re more likely to hold a job and avoid risky and criminal behaviors.

The stabilization program offers many therapeutic activities, including recreation, fitness, and yoga. You’ll be able to use the fitness room during the times you’re not in therapy. You’ll learn to manage stress through meditation and other mindfulness therapies. You’ll participate in educational sessions, group therapy, and individual counseling.

While you’re in counseling, you’ll work on identifying the root causes of your substance use. For many people, a co-occurring mental health disorder is an underlying cause for their use. An underlying disorder can be a mental health issue like anxiety or depression. If appropriate, you can also get medication management for these disorders.

As you near the end of your stay, you’ll get help arranging your return back home or to the next step of your treatment. You’ll also work on a continuing care plan with your counselor to help ensure a sustained recovery. One former client of the center stated that it was a life-changing experience, and that the staff was knowledgeable.
