Substance Use Treatment in Massachusetts

Outpatient addiction care that fits your life — evidence-based, discreet, and built around lasting recovery.

At Grand Rising Behavioral Health, we help adults stop the cycle of alcohol and drug use, manage cravings, and rebuild stable daily routines through an outpatient continuum that fits your week. We treat substance use disorder and co-occurring mental health conditions, in-person in Norwood and via telehealth for eligible Massachusetts residents. If you need medical detox first, we'll help you coordinate it and step you into care when you're stabilized.

Evidence-Based Care for
Substance Use Disorder in Massachusetts

As a behavioral health center offering addiction care in Norwood, MA, Grand Rising provides relapse-prevention therapy, CBT and DBT skills, trauma-informed care, and medication support within out Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP), Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP), and Outpatient Program (OP) levels of care — coordinated with your prescribers and any detox or medical providers.

Relapse Prevention & Motivational Interviewing

We help you identify triggers, build coping skills, and create a concrete plan to handle high-risk situations. Motivational interviewing meets you where you are and strengthens your own reasons for change — no shame, no lectures.

Skills-Based CBT & DBT

CBT reframes the thoughts that drive use and rebuilds healthy routines. DBT skills (mindfulness, distress tolerance, emotional regulation, interpersonal effectiveness) reduce impulsive reactions and help you sit with cravings without acting on them. Between-session practice turns these into daily habits.

Medication Management



For some people, medication reduces cravings and supports recovery. Our prescribers evaluate fit, explain options in plain language, and coordinate medication-assisted treatment so they support — not replace therapy.

Trauma-Informed, Dual-Diagnosis Care

Substance use and trauma, depression, or anxiety often travel together. We treat them in the same plan rather than sending you to two places.

Levels of  Care That Fit Your Week

You shouldn't have to choose between work, family, and getting better. Our outpatient continuum lets you step in where you need support and step down as recovery stabilizes.

Partial Hospitalizaiton Program (PHP)

5 days a week
approx 5 hours a day

Our most structured outpatient level. PHP blends group therapy, individual sessions, and psychiatric services into a full daily schedule — built for adults who need daily rhythm to stabilize after detox, residential, or a relapse.

Program components

Group and individual therapy woven into every day

Psychiatric services delivered inside the program

CBT, DBT, and trauma-informed care

In-person at our Norwood location or via telehealth

Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP)

3–5 days a week
approx 3 hours a day

Programming for adults transitioning toward greater independence while still needing consistent clinical support — where most clients spend the longest stretch of treatment, stepping down from PHP or up from weekly therapy that isn't enough alone.

Program components

Group and individual work at a lower daily intensity

Same psychiatric services and modalities as PHP

Designed to fit alongside part-time work or phased return

In-person or via telehealth

Outpatient Program (OP)

1 day a week
approx 1–3 hours a day

A short-term step-down phase that reinforces the skills you built and hands off to your long-term community provider and recovery supports. It isn't an entry point; admission goes through PHP or IOP first.

Program components

Short, time-limited transition phase

Reinforces coping and regulation skills

Supports handoff to a community outpatient provider

Available to clients who've completed a structured program with us

FAQs About Substance Use Treatment in Massachusetts

Do you provide medical detox?

We're an outpatient program, so we don't provide medical detox on-site. If you need detox first, we'll help you coordinate it and step you into our PHP or IOP program once you're medically stable.

What is dual-diagnosis (co-occurring) treatment?

It means treating a substance use disorder and amental health condition — like depression, anxiety, or PTSD — at the same time, in one coordinated plan. It's a core strength of ours.

What's the difference between Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP), Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP), and Outpatient Program (OP)?

Partial Hospitilization Progrom (PHP) is the most structured — a full daily schedule. Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP) is a lower daily intensity that fits alongside work or family. Outpatient Program (OP) is a short-term step-down that reinforces your skills before handing off to long-term community support.

Can I do substance use treatment via telehealth in Massachusetts?

Yes — eligible MA residents have the option to attend our outpatient programming by secure telehealth. We'll advise when in-person is the better fit.

How does out-of-network insurance work?

Many PPO plans reimburse a portion of out-of-network care. We verify your benefits up front and explain your estimated costs before you start — no surprises.

Will treatment be confidential?

Yes. Care is private and HIPAA-protected — important for the professionals and individuals we serve.
