I have to give these guys 5 stars. I go here for my eyes and I've been seeing Dr. Landry since she was at the Worcester VA clinic, and since she moved here. Unfortunately, it's a long ride for me from Marlborough, MA but its worth the trip.

Just had one of my last groups with Kyle. Even though it was a tough reality to deal with an OUI, he made it incredibly welcoming and comfortable to be in group, he also made things very easy to get through, navigate and find. Definitely hope to meet him again but under better circumstances!

I have struggled with my addiction for 20 years now and I’ve been on and off this clinic for several years. Linda is a miracle worker and one of the sweetest people I know. Laura is also the best! I’ve always had awesome clinicians Jim M. has been great to work with and has always been on point with helping me in every situation I come barreling in with!!! I couldn’t ask for a better person to be my clinician… except maybe Derek because he is the man 202 lol thanks Lowell Clinic I’m transferring so farewell for now I never know when I might come back to where I feel most comfortable and most supportive in my recovery!!!
I have been a patient here for 4-5 years. They are very organized, patient, professional, and never make you feel like a hassle or failure. If there’s anyone out there looking for help just walk in, there are no appts needed. and maybe you will leave with a whole new life. Thank you to the staff for always being outstanding.

This is a review I should have written a LONG time ago. This review is for Jaclyn and Kristen. Jaclyn works directly under southbay, I believe. I hear about some of my peers’ experiences with early intervention, and while it’s always good, it still really illuminates how above and beyond Jaclyn went for us. She was always available, she always listened, she was the water that surrounded our stone. She listened when we needed her to and she advocated loudly when we needed her to. We’ve been out of the program for a YEAR and not a day goes by where we do not think or talk about Jaclyn. My son still asks for her. He has since been diagnosed with level two autism and we couldn’t haven’t gotten that diagnosis or help without her guidance and support. I was at the end of my rope and without tools, I feel that my child, despite my devotion and love and patience and empathy, probably would have been traumatized with out her because I simply did not have the tools to help or cope. Or the hand on my shoulder to tell me it’s okay, I’m doing a good job. She was always on time which was great for my sons very big need for punctuality, even as a baby. She was so personable and loving and was truly apart of our family. She intuitively picked up on small nuances and evolved accordingly. I wish I could have done more for her as we parted. Jaclyn was one of the best people I’ve ever met, and the world is better for having her in it. Kristen was also amazing. She was my sons behavioral therapist and she offered a lot of truly helpful insights. ABA can be quite controversial these days, but I never felt I had to change my son with Kristen, or make him fit into another mold. Though I’m not exactly sure Kristen did ABA specifically, I felt we all knew that’s what she was there for. She helped me to analyze what made my son tick and why. She didn’t try to change him, she helped me to anticipate his wants and needs and translated his special language to me. Jaclyn and Kristen worked phenomenally side by side as a fantastic team to offer us the support that every parent in my situation dreams of. I have often fantasized about attending a town hall or public forum to advocate for early intervention to be extended to children over 5 years of age. If you’ve made it this long, thanks for reading. This review was the least I could do for these people who have done so much for us.

hi,i just started going to this place and so far so good
I’ve been at this hospital for about six years and honestly the experience is great! The care is exceptional and the doctors are very amazing. I moved over an hour away and I never changed my providers because of how accommodating and supportive the services are. Truest definition of patient-centered care.
I don’t understand how Bridgewell Counseling Services gets bad reviews. I have the upmost respect for them. I can not begin to explain how much I went from bad to good . COVID 2020 I began at Bridgewell and had an exit interview thinking I was capable.I insisted going back after I had a 2nd mental relapse due to osteoarthritis and fibromyalgia’s chronic pain the central sensitivities came crashing worse than ever .A Special Shout out and Thank you to my friend and therapist Rex .

I have been utilizing Bridgewell's counseling services for over 7 years , I am very satisfied with them.
Due to a high demand job, trying to find a day a week for therapy was very hard, but my Clinician there worked with me to find the right day/time that works for both of us. The clinicians here are very informed, educated and empathic with their approaches for therapy.
The Psych Docs/PNPs are also very understanding and welcome the client into trying new approaches to benefit their treatment. All in all I would defiantly recommend this place to others :)
I have been with Arbor awhile now and I find this office has done a solid job. The staff is responsive, the doctors are professional and straight forward, and the only downside I've had is the location.

I have not received care from this facility, but I almost did. My review is covering my interaction with the office staff.
I had a therapist named Diana from Ferrera's Counseling in the past that was not a good fit for me. When I politely told her I would like a new therapist she went rogue. My impression is that she bypassed the front desk staff in charge of placing me with a new therapist and even her own boss/my previous therapist just to refer me out to Arbour counseling's php program. Diana had told me the referral was for my usual once-a-week therapy, but she lied. Eventually I got a call from Arbour about a week after, and I was pleasantly surprised because getting mental health care is a hard and long process with all the wait lists etc. The person on the phone said there was a billing issue (I confirmed with my ins company though that there shouldn't have been one) and they were calling to confirm my payment method and that I was going for Partial Hospitalization. I was confused. Upon further discussion the employee stated they did find it odd that I was referred for the program as my notes did not make it seem like I was in or recently out of a crisis. I asked if there was a mix up or misunderstanding, but they elaborated saying the note specifically said "m-f 5 hrs a day" and was signed off by Diana, but not her boss. I had reached out to my previous therapist/ the boss/owner of Ferrera's about this issue, but got no response. There may be no reason to be suspicious of php programs, and it was cool to learn they exist in case I ever needed one, but due to how things unfolded I couldn't help but feel wary of the whole situation. To this day I have no idea what I possibly may have dodged if it weren't for the mystery Arbour employee that was simply doing their job and paying attention. This was an event that happened last summer (2022).

I have been seeing, Jannell Forestal, just over 3 years now. To say she is just a “good therapist” an understatement of her care, Jenna has guided me through challenges, thick and thin. She has changed my perspective, Helped me through all the ugly times, and overall helped change the way i used to view myself and my outlook on life. I can’t thank her enough for all she has done for me and wouldn’t ask for a better person to have on my side! Thank you Jenna!

Green Mountain Treatment Center saved my life. I was sick and scared when I arrived, but the transformation that occurred for me during the 80 days I spent on the mountain was nothing short of a miracle.
I quickly recognized that hard work on my part needed to be done, or I'd be miserable and missing out on the gifts of the program. Thankfully, there is an incredible staff in place who walked with me through the introspection I had to do and showed me that recovery was possible. I marked 5 months sober yesterday and I truly believe that God removed my alcoholic obsession while I was on the mountain.
Everyone's experience is different and I can only speak of my own, but I personally could not see myself succeeding as I did in any other facility. I'll be thankful to Green Mountain for the rest of my life.

The most caring recovery team that works there. Awesome accomodations. All around though really good program. First time to rehabilitation center and was my favorite stop on my recovery road. Glad I choose to go there. Hands down best place to go for real recovery survivors 100%
I had an amazing, amazing stay. The dining staff made delicious food, especially the desserts. My only drawback would be that the facility is understaffed as far as techs go, but their drive, empathy, and kindness more than made up for it. I would especially like to thank Christine for being an ANGEL on Earth, and Annemarie for her dedication and care. The nursing staff did everything they could to ensure a comfortable, safe experience. I would recommend this facility to anyone experiencing a mental health crisis.

Such a great place! From the moment I very nervously, and hesitantly walked in I was treated with compassion and respect. I was in real trouble, my drinking was out of control for a long time, and my health and family were suffering. Serenity got me safely detoxed and sober, and then taught me how to stay that way. As I write this review I’m 14+ months sober. Thank you, Serenity! If you or someone you love has a substance use disorder, I highly recommend Serenity.

Aftermath is an incredible rehabilitation program that is run by truly incredible people that care for each and every one of their clients. This program has provided me with the tools needed to change my life in the best of ways. I write this review 82 days free from the pain and suffering that drugs and alcohol have wreaked havoc on my life for as long as I can remember - I just hope that if any one else is struggling to get clean and sober that they please consider Aftermath as a resource to help them build a better life for themselves. I am incredibly grateful to Matt & Jenna for being there each and every day as beacons of hope - this place is a miracle and so am I, and so are you.

Aftermath Addiction Treatment Center truly changed my life. From the moment I walked in, I felt supported, respected, and understood. The staff genuinely care about every individual who comes through their doors — they don’t just treat addiction, they help heal the person as a whole.
The therapists and counselors are incredibly compassionate and knowledgeable, and the personalized treatment plans make a huge difference. The environment is positive, safe, and focused on real recovery and long-term success.
I can honestly say that Aftermath gave me the tools, confidence, and hope I needed to rebuild my life. I’ll forever be grateful for their dedication and support. If you or a loved one is looking for help, this is the place to go.

I cannot say enough good about Aware Recovery Care going back to February 2023. My first involvement was with their In-Home Detox team consisting of RN Jenn Aguire and nurses Tabitha and Krystal who came to my home for at least seven straight days to get me detoxed. This was critical to me as at the time I was unwilling to enter in residence detox having had a negative experience in the past. I credit them with saving my life. Their kind and compassionate care showed me that there was indeed some hope for me going forward. Following detox Aware counselors Sam Hayes and Amber Gelinas continued home visits working very closely with me in keeping me on the road to sobriety. I also received monthly assessments by an RN and a session with a Psychiatrist. After six months my insurance lapsed but thankfully I was eligible to enter their Alumni Program consisting of multiple Zoom meetings during the week with Aware professionals. In addition they also host various events in different locations with other Alumni of the program. You always feel that Aware is right there with you every step of the way. I could carry on much longer but let me finish by saying that I consider the Aware professionals I have dealt with to be more than just counselors but as friends as well. I am welcome back in the lives of my children and most importantly my Grandchildren. On November 24 I will be collecting my Nine Month sobriety chip at my AA Home Group. I credit a great deal of my success on Aware Recovery.

Based on my personal experience, I would 100% recommend GateHouse to anyone struggling with substance abuse and mental health disorders. I've been struggling with substance abuse for many years with bouts of sobriety in between. I've seen my fair share of treatment center. None, in my opinion, compare to GateHouse.
1. The clinical team is top notch and go above and beyond to help educate clients and teach them new coping skills to ensure their success in recovery. Hunter (my clinician) met with me weekly and was a rock for me during times of uncertainty. She listens without judgement, shares based on experience and offers suggestions on new ways to improve my mental health.
2. Josh (Clinical Director) is a prime example of his profession. He has successfully helped my fiance and I work through past traumas, stemmed from our use, in weekly one-on-one Couple's Therapy sessions. There have been times where I've met with Josh when I was unsure of something and he's eager to be helpful. He leaves the door to his office wide open for clients. That says so much and I have a lot of respect for him and what he does for this community.
3. The curriculum is outstanding. It's informative, educational and absolutely attainable if put to use. Clinicians facilitate these groups, breaking the information down so that everyone has an understanding of what is being taught. I always leave Brittney and Geno's groups with a different, more positive perspective and new skills to practice in my daily affairs to better myself as a woman in recovery.
4. GateHouse Case Managers advocate for their clients and take time with each one in setting up aftercare plans and relapse prevention plans. They truly care for the success of their clients. Marcus (my Case Worker) has helped me attain appointments that better served my health. He has educated me on sober living and my options all while encouraging me to make choices that will be best for me. He's an amazing person and I'm grateful I was assigned to him upon my arrival at GateHouse.
5. During my stay at GateHouse, Couple's Therapy Group was formed, held once a week and facilitated by Geno. This group was crucial for my fiance and I and our road to healing. It was a safe space to connect with other couples who have gone through similar situations as us and gain new perspectives. Geno taught us new coping skills, constructive and healthy ways to communicate with one another, boundaries and how to ease ourselves back into our children's lives in the most caring and loving way. GateHouse's decision to incorporate this group into their program has benefited my fiance, myself and many more clients.
6. The BHT Staff are the absolute best that I've ever encountered. They too are working their own programs in recovery and have a personal understanding of what clients are experiencing. It's much easier for me, as an alcoholic, to listen to a fellow alcoholic rather than someone who doesn't have personal experience with substance abuse. Every staff member has their own amazing, unique qualities that make them an absolute asset to GateHouse. There's not one of them that isn't helpful, personable, and (most importantly to me) willing to hold you accountable in a loving, caring way so that you have the opportunity to better yourself. Personally, I believe they deserve a raise. They offer so much more to GateHouse other than their job duties. They have the ability to connect with clients based on their experiences inside and other side of work. Each one is a walking symbol of Hope and that the program does work, if you work it.
All in all, I've had an amazing experience with GateHouse and feel that I have the tools that I need to start the next chapter in my recovery. Thank you GateHouse friends! You've truly made a difference in my life and will be dearly missed!

If you are willing to go to any length to get sober and start your recovery journey, there is not a better place to be than Topsail.
Six months ago I was dying in an ICU unit in Boston. As I’ve pieced my life back together physically, mentally and spiritually Topsail has been my anchor.
There are not enough words to express my gratitude for Topsails wonderful staff, especially my primary therapist. She helped save my life.
If you are still sick and suffering, Topsail can be your beacon of light. I know it continues to be for me.
