Addiction Therapy at Greylock Recovery

Recovery involves more than stopping alcohol or drug use. It also means understanding what keeps you returning to substances and learning how to respond differently.

At Greylock Recovery, our detox and residential programs combine therapy and specialized treatment approaches to support that work. Your care may include individual therapy, group therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, acceptance and commitment therapy, and medication-assisted treatment.

You do not need to know which approach you need before reaching out. Our team can help you understand your options.

How Can Therapy Support Your Recovery?

Therapy helps you recognize the connection between substance use, your emotions, and everyday challenges. It gives you space to work through personal concerns while practicing skills for managing cravings, stress, and relationships.

Your treatment plan reflects your history, current needs, and recovery goals. Individual and group sessions provide different settings for that work, while approaches such as CBT, DBT, and ACT guide the skills you practice.

Individual Therapy

Individual therapy gives you one-on-one time with a therapist to explore your substance use, personal challenges, and goals. Together, you can identify patterns, work through difficult emotions, and develop coping strategies that fit your life.

Group Therapy

Group therapy brings people together for clinician-led discussions, education, and skill building. It offers a place to share experiences, learn from others, and practice healthier communication with people who understand the challenges of recovery.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

CBT helps you recognize how thoughts and feelings influence your actions. In addiction treatment, it can help you identify triggers, challenge unhelpful thinking, and practice different responses to cravings or stressful situations.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)

DBT teaches skills for managing strong emotions, getting through distress, and improving relationships. These skills can help you pause during difficult moments and respond without turning to alcohol or drugs.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)

ACT helps you respond to difficult thoughts and feelings while taking steps toward what matters to you. You can practice making choices that support your recovery, even when cravings, anxiety, or discomfort are present.

Medication-Assisted Treatment (MAT)

MAT combines medication with counseling and behavioral therapies to treat certain substance use disorders. At Greylock, it may be included when clinically appropriate. Your team can explain whether medication fits your needs and how it works alongside therapy.

What to Expect When You Begin

Your care begins with an assessment of your substance use, health history, and current concerns. From there, your team works with you to develop a treatment plan and explain the approaches recommended for you.

You can share what has helped in the past, what feels difficult, and what you want to change. As treatment progresses, those conversations help guide your care and next steps.
