Detox Services

Safe, Supervised Withdrawal—Because Quitting Shouldn’t Be Life-Threatening

Withdrawal can feel brutal—sometimes even dangerous. That’s why our detox program is medically monitored 24/7, giving you a safe and supported start to recovery. You don’t have to white-knuckle your way through this part alone.

We provide:

  • Medical stabilization with comfort-focused support
  • Around-the-clock monitoring from licensed nurses and clinicians
  • Care for opioids, alcohol, benzodiazepines, and other substances
  • Coordination with our residential program, so there’s no gap in support

Residential Treatment

Live-In Support with Structure, Accountability, and a Lot of Heart

Once your body begins to stabilize, it’s time to dig into the work of recovery. Our residential treatment program offers a structured environment where you can focus entirely on healing—physically, emotionally, and mentally.

This level of care includes:

  • Individual therapy tailored to your history and goals
  • Daily groups built around trauma, emotional regulation, and relapse prevention
  • Psychoeducation on addiction, grief, shame, and boundaries
  • Connection to aftercare planning and peer support

We’re not here to fix you. We’re here to walk beside you while you find your footing.

What Makes Greylock Different?

It’s More Than Just Treatment—It’s People Who Actually Listen

We’re not the biggest center in Massachusetts, and we don’t want to be. What we offer is personal. Focused. Human. Every client is known here—not just by name, but by story.

Here’s what else sets us apart:

  • Trauma-informed, evidence-based care
  • Small client-to-staff ratio
  • Realistic relapse prevention, not perfectionism
  • LGBTQ+ affirming and family-inclusive philosophy
  • A location that invites calm, not chaos—right in the Berkshires

What Can Help my Treatment be Successful?

Clients with higher “recovery capital” (like community, family, and professional support) are significantly more likely to avoid relapse

Is This for Me or Someone I Love?

It might be hard to tell when drinking becomes a problem. But here’s what we hear from a lot of people who show up:

  • “I didn’t drink every day—but when I did, I lost control.”
  • “I was hiding bottles. Lying about how much I used.”
  • “I knew I needed help when I started drinking just to feel normal.”

If that sounds familiar—or if you’re watching someone else spiral and feel helpless—you’re not alone. And there’s help that actually works.

Who We Treat

People from All Walks of Life—Because Addiction Doesn’t Discriminate

At Greylock, we work with adults who are:

  • Struggling with substance use, no matter the substance
  • Experiencing mental health challenges alongside addiction
  • Facing chronic relapse or returning from other treatment attempts
  • Seeking treatment that honors both their trauma and their recovery goals

We also offer specialized support for:

  • Pregnant or postpartum women through a Woman’s Journey Program
  • Family members through Family Forward
  • Individuals transitioning to long-term care or outpatient support

We’re not here to impress you. We’re here to help you get your life back.

37.9% of adults with substance use disorder also have a co-occurring mental illness.
