The Haven Detox - New England

Medically Supervised Detox and Residential Care

The Haven Detox - New England provides medical detox (withdrawal management) and short-term residential care in Worcester for adults with substance use and co-occurring mental health conditions. Care runs 24/7, with continuous medical oversight during detox and structured daily support after stabilization. The setting is designed to feel comfortable and removed from daily triggers, helping people focus on getting through withdrawal and building early recovery momentum.

Integrated Medical, Clinical, and Holistic Treatment

Treatment addresses both addiction and mental health conditions like anxiety, depression, trauma, and bipolar disorder. Core therapies include cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), motivational interviewing, trauma-focused counseling, and family therapy. Medications for addiction treatment (MAT) support withdrawal and cravings, including care for alcohol, opioid, and benzodiazepine use. GeneSight genetic testing helps guide medication choices, while IV therapy supports hydration and physical stabilization. Holistic options like yoga, meditation, Reiki, and art therapy, along with fitness and recreational activities, help clients manage stress, regulate emotions, and rebuild daily routines.

Specialized Programming and Real-World Support

The Haven for Heroes program offers targeted care for veterans, active-duty military members, and first responders, focusing on the connection between trauma, high-stress roles, and substance use. The program also includes bilingual support for Spanish-speaking clients. Beyond clinical care, services like case management, discharge planning, transportation assistance, housing support, employment counseling, and family programming help address practical challenges that can affect recovery after treatment.

Upscale Environment With Ongoing Alumni Support

The residential setting includes chef-prepared meals, a fitness gym, outdoor space, and shared living options, along with amenities like a basketball court, pickleball, game areas, movie spaces, and barber or beautician services. This environment supports comfort and engagement during treatment. After discharge, the alumni program offers peer coaching calls and text support, a private online community, and sober events, helping clients stay connected and continue building recovery-focused routines.
