About Us

Real People. Real Recovery.

Welcome to Greylock Recovery

When addiction has stripped everything else away—your peace, your hope, your sense of self—you need more than another generic program. You need real support. From people who won’t judge you. From a place that actually listens.

At Greylock Recovery, we meet you where you are, without the pressure to be anywhere else. We’re not here to fix you. We’re here to walk with you, help you steady your footing, and rebuild—together.

Because no one gets clean alone. And no one should have to.

What We Believe

Recovery is deeply personal. It’s not linear. It doesn’t follow a script. And it definitely doesn’t work when it’s one-size-fits-all.

We believe in:

  • Healing through connection—not control
  • Honest conversations—even when they’re hard
  • Support that doesn’t vanish after discharge

You’re not a case file here. You’re a person with a story. We honor that.

What We Offer

Our programs are rooted in clinical excellence and led by compassion. We provide:

  • Medical Detox – 24/7 medical support to help you get through the hardest first days safely
  • Residential Treatment – A calm, structured space to do the deeper work
  • Medication-Assisted Treatment (MAT) – In-house support using Suboxone, Vivitrol, and more
  • A Mother’s Journey Program – Specialized care for pregnant women and new moms
  • Family Forward Program – Helping families heal alongside their loved ones
  • Stays Connected – Long-term recovery support that keeps you grounded after you leave

No matter how long you stay, we’re in it with you.

Addiction Treatment at Greylock

We treat people, not just symptoms. That means helping you untangle all the pieces—substance use, mental health, trauma, family dynamics—and create a recovery path that actually makes sense in your life.

We provide care for:

  • Opioid, alcohol, and benzodiazepine addiction
  • People in active crisis or relapse
  • Those navigating co-occurring disorders like anxiety, PTSD, or depression

Many of our clients have tried treatment before. What’s different here? We slow things down. We listen. We build your plan with you—not for you.

You don’t have to show up perfect. Just show up.

Why People Choose Us

We’re not the biggest. We’re not fancy. But we are real—and sometimes, that’s what makes the difference.

People choose Greylock Recovery because:

  • We keep it small on purpose. That means more attention, more connection, and no getting lost in the system.
  • Your care team stays with you. No bouncing between providers or starting over every week.
  • Our approach is trauma-informed and culturally aware. We don’t expect you to trust us—we earn it.
  • Support extends beyond your stay. We believe in long-term care, long-term connection.

Getting clean matters—but so does how you’re treated along the way.

Our Home in Williamstown, MA

There’s something special about this place. Maybe it’s the Berkshires—the way the fog rolls off Mount Greylock in the morning. Maybe it’s the quiet. The stillness. The space to actually breathe.

We chose Williamstown because it offers more than a location. It offers healing. When you’re here, the world slows down a little. You can think. Feel. Rest.

While you’re with us, you might explore:

  • The Clark Art Institute
  • Scenic trails on Mount Greylock
  • Coffee shops, bookstores, and farmers markets
  • Live performances at the Williamstown Theatre Festival

It’s not a vacation—it’s a beginning. But we want that beginning to feel safe, grounding, and just a little bit beautiful.
