Baldpate Hospital

About the Facility

Baldpate Hospital is located 30 miles north of Boston in Georgetown, Massachusetts. They provide medically assisted detox from substances including alcohol and other prescribed or illegal drugs.

The detox program at Baldpate Hospital is a medically assisted detox program. This means you’ll have medical staff monitor you throughout the process. You’ll also be given FDA approved medications that are used to support the detox process and to help reduce your withdrawal symptoms.

Once you’ve detoxed and are physically stable, you can enter their inpatient treatment program. You’ll go through the remainder of the treatment process which includes therapy and educational classes.

Aftercare programming is for when you have successfully gone through their treatment program but still need support once you return home. The purpose is to provide a safe space to continuously work on recovery. This might include support groups and referrals to other resources in your community.

Treatment

Substance Abuse

In Massachusetts, substance abuse treatment programs can help to address addiction and, if relevant, any co-occurring mental health conditions. Programs include outpatient, inpatient, dual-diagnosis, and partial hospitalization. You’ll receive therapies like cognitive behavioral therapy, or dialectical behavioral therapy, and sometimes complementary therapies like acupuncture and mindfulness-based therapy. By attending skills training and recovery groups you’ll build a strong foundation for your recovery and strengthen your support network, increasing your chances of long-term recovery success.

Levels of Care

Inpatient

Residential treatment programs are those that offer housing and meals in addition to substance abuse treatment. Rehab facilities that offer residential treatment allow patients to focus solely on recovery, in an environment totally separate from their lives. Some rehab centers specialize in short-term residential treatment (a few days to a week or two), while others solely provide treatment on a long-term basis (several weeks to months). Some offer both, and tailor treatment to the patient's individual requirements.

Clinical Services

Group Therapy

Group therapy is any therapeutic work that happens in a group (not one-on-one). There are a number of different group therapy modalities, including support groups, experiential therapy, psycho-education, and more. Group therapy involves treatment as well as processing interaction between group members.

Individual Therapy

In individual therapy, a patient meets one-on-one with a trained psychologist or counselor. Therapy is a pivotal part of effective substance abuse treatment, as it often covers root causes of addiction, including challenges faced by the patient in their social, family, and work/school life.
