Compass Recovery is a premier, state-of-the-art addiction recovery center in western Massachusetts. Our mission is to help clients enjoy life without the burden of addiction and empower our clients to achieve sustained recovery. We differ from other recovery centers because of our comprehensive approach to the diseases of alcohol and substance use. Often, individuals struggling with addiction issues are isolated from their families and friends, which can lead to depression and even relapses. Our treatment plans aim to integrate and connect our clients with others that share similar journeys on the road to recovery while also addressing individual needs.  These bonds among clients with similar issues act as another method to reach success in combination with individual therapeutic sessions which creates a recipe for long term relief from the pain that addiction can cause.

What Is a Day Treatment Program?

An addiction to alcohol or substances can be a destructive force that negatively affects people from all walks of life. No matter how strong someone can appear, it can be extremely difficult for someone to ask for help. That’s where day treatment services come in.  Compass Recovery can provide tools for someone suffering from addiction to become a happier and more prosperous version of themselves.  We stress that our clients get to the root cause of their addiction by taking accountability for their own recovery so that the impact of treatment will last for many years. 

At Compass Recovery, we are truly committed to helping you find your path. In order to find the best approach to recovery for you, we assess your current mental and physical health, then tailor outpatient addiction treatment to your specific needs. In some cases, the optimal plan may be a high intensive day treatment program which provides structure for our clients without the confines of a traditional inpatient or residential rehab facility. This option allows flexibility for our clients by having them come to our facility every day for a set amount of time but then return home after treatment. This approach gives our clients the essential treatment that they need and deserve in order to heal from substance abuse disorders.

It can be difficult for people with addiction issues to put their entire lives on hold and spend an extended period of time in an inpatient facility. We at Compass Recovery understand. For certain clients, the right solution is a less intensive day treatment program. These services are formulated to help those whose addiction might not be extreme or for those who have relapsed and are eager to get back on the right path to recovery.  This program will offer the client the opportunity to attend several therapy sessions each week while in our addiction treatment center while continuing to live in the comfort and safety of their own homes.

What Types of Therapeutic Approaches Could Be Part of a Day Treatment Program?

Addiction is a complex disease, so treatment plans vary from client to client. At Compass Recovery, we pride ourselves in our ability to create a potential path to recovery for each individual. Our outpatient addiction treatment plans provide a number of therapeutic services such as:

  • Cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT): CBT focuses on identifying and changing negative self-image and negative thinking, contributing to substance abuse.
  • Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT): DBT is a form of CBT helping clients learn to develop healthy ways to cope with stress and regulate emotions.
  • Motivational interviewing (MI): MI helps clients resolve ambivalent feelings and insecurities by learning how to be practical and empathetic.

Not every treatment modality is right for every patient. However, at Compass Recovery, we offer a broad range of evidence-based and holistic approaches with the aim of giving each of our patients the tools they need for genuine, long-term recovery.

Are There Additional Methods Used as Part of a Day Treatment Program?

Compass Recovery also uses holistic practices such as yoga therapy, meditation, and mindfulness in conjunction with therapeutic services. These holistic alternatives often become part of our clients’ daily routine as a technique to cope with the disease of addiction. Also, Compass Recovery provides guidance through 12-step programs as a way for our clients to continue their positive way of life long after finishing their treatment. We have found that presenting a number of methods to combat addiction contributes to long-lasting success for our clients. Also, a day treatment program provides our clients with the opportunity to emerge from treatment and transition into a productive everyday life. Compass Recovery’s goal is to empower our clients to achieve sustained recovery.

What Happens After I Complete the Day Treatment Program?

One of the most crucial parts of the recovery process is what happens after a client completes our addiction Day Treatment Program. This part, known as “aftercare”, is how our clients maintain their sobriety long after they have left our facility. Also, an aftercare plan helps our clients to be prepared to face challenges to their recovery and to learn techniques to maintain their progress. Aftercare includes services such as 12-step meetings, counseling, and sober living. Our counselors at Compass Recovery will help our clients determine which types of aftercare would be right for them so that the values learned in our day treatment program will endure for years to come.

What Are Some Advantages of Day Treatment Programming?

Addiction Day Treatment recovery programming offers many benefits. The advantages include:

  • Flexibility of services – We want our services to be available when our clients can take advantage of them.
  • Cost of services – Often, outpatient care is less expensive than comprehensive inpatient care. 
  • Support network development – Within a Day Treatment Program, clients have more contact with friends, colleagues, and family members. This can lead to a stronger support team that helps a client with his or her recovery.
  • Individual therapy sessions – In these sessions, clients can work to discover the roots of addiction and learn coping mechanisms to help future sobriety
