Medically monitored withdrawal management followed by short-term residential rehabilitation

New England Recovery Center is a medically monitored withdrawal management and residential substance use treatment program. During withdrawal management, which typically lasts 4 to 6 days, clients receive 24-hour medical supervision and nursing care. Clients then transition into residential treatment, typically for 2 to 4 weeks. Medications for addiction treatment (MAT) are available when clinically appropriate.

A structured daily schedule with individual counseling

Clients meet with their clinical team 3 times a week for individual therapy sessions and ongoing care planning. Residential clients also participate in daily goal-setting and evening reflection groups alongside gender-specific educational sessions and recovery support groups. Those with additional mental health and medical needs can meet with a consulting psychiatrist and other clinical specialists.

Family involvement is encouraged throughout treatment and beyond

Each client works with a clinical team member to coordinate treatment, which includes working with loved ones to help build family support. Family services start at admission and can include education, meetings, and support from a family engagement specialist. Educational groups and lectures help families understand substance use disorders and how they can support their loved ones after discharge. Free weekly virtual groups are also available.

A 25-acre campus with holistic and outdoor recovery activities

The 25-acre property offers countryside views, walking paths, and an on-site healing garden. There's also an on-site fitness center as well as opportunities to do yoga, practice mindfulness, or meet therapy animals. Clients can also spend time in shared indoor spaces watching movies, reading, or playing games.

Ongoing care planning to support life after residential treatment

Case managers help clients prepare for the transition home. Care plans may include outpatient treatment, MAT, supportive housing, and community recovery groups. Clients and families are connected with community resources, and the broader Spectrum Health Systems organization provides outpatient addiction treatment and peer recovery support services.

How we research treatment facilities

Across the site, our team has conducted over 1,000 pre-admissions calls to better understand the patient experience, interviewed facility clinical leaders, performed facility background checks, and compared our information against trusted public data sources.

Our research process begins with data from the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA), accrediting bodies including The Joint Commission and CARF, government licensing agencies, and other trusted sources. From there, our team conducts significant original research, including:

- Pre-admissions calls: We speak with admissions staff to get a candid picture of patient experience.

- Background checks: We review complaints from past clients, media reports, actions taken by accrediting bodies, and positive recognition from notable organizations.

- Clinical interviews: We have in-depth conversations with clinical leadership, often lasting up to one hour, that give us a better understanding of clinical care.

- Data partnerships: We ingest and analyze exclusive data that provides information about in-network insurance status, cost, and more.

Research varies by facility. Each facility profile shows which research steps we completed and when each step was last performed. Learn more about our research process and background checks.

How we evaluate treatment facilities

These data help us develop a Trust Score for each facility—a simple letter grade that helps you assess how much confidence to place in a facility based on the information available to us. Trust Score considers accreditation, operating history, notable recognition, and concerns identified during our background check. Our Trust Score is an objective rating that is never influenced by advertiser payment. Learn more about our Trust Score methodology.

Important disclaimer

We cannot guarantee the quality of treatment at any facility. We cannot independently confirm the accuracy of every data point, and some information may become outdated or change over time. A Trust Score is a starting point, not a guarantee of treatment quality or outcomes. Please contact us if you would like to update or correct facility information.
