Meta really saved my life. All the staff are amazing people who really cared about me and what I was going through. They were very supportive and got me through my darkest times. I came to Meta feeling lost and alone, but now after months of treatment my mindset has changed and have become mentally stronger and I can over come any obstacles and challenges with the tools I have learned at Meta. I feel more like my old self and I look forward to continuing my sessions and becoming even more mentally strong. Thank you to the Meta staff for all the help and continued support.

Other Forms of Payment

Private insurance refers to any kind of healthcare coverage that isn't from the state or federal government. This includes individual and family plans offered by an employer or purchased from the Insurance Marketplace. Every plan will have different requirements and out of pocket costs so be sure to get the full details before you start treatment.

Self-pay involves paying for treatment out of your own pocket. You can use savings or credit, get a personal loan, or receive help from family and friends to fund your treatment. If you don't have insurance or your insurance plan doesn't cover a specific program, self-pay can help ensure you still get the care you need.

Military members, veterans, and eligible dependents have access to specific insurance programs that help them get the care they need. TRICARE and VA insurance can help you access low cost or no cost addiction and mental health treatment. Programs that accept military insurance often have targeted treatment focused on the unique challenges military members, veterans, and their families face.

Addiction Treatments

Levels of Care

Outpatient

Outpatient Programs (OP) are for those seeking mental rehab or drug rehab, but who also stay at home every night. The main difference between outpatient treatment (OP) and intensive outpatient treatment (IOP) lies in the amount of hours the patient spends at the facility. Most of the time an outpatient program is designed for someone who has completed an inpatient stay and is looking to continue their growth in recovery. Outpatient is not meant to be the starting point, it is commonly referred to as aftercare.

12-Step

Recovery models based on 12 step programs feature extensive peer coaching and emphasize personal growth as a key to sustained sobriety. Regular attendance at 12 step meetings, which are anonymous, free, and available daily, is expected. The 12 steps of recovery are based on spiritual principles and support participants in addressing the root causes of their disease, accept responsibility for their choices, and accept that which is beyond their control. Self-selected sponsors provide one-one-mentoring.

Medically Assisted Detox

Drug and alcohol addiction often takes a heavy toll on one’s body. Over time, a physical dependence can develop, meaning the body physiologically needs the substance to function. Detox is the process of removing drugs and/or alcohol from the body, a process that can be lethal if mismanaged. Medical detox is done by licensed medical professionals who monitor vital signs and keep you safe, healthy, and as comfortable as possible as you go through detox and withdrawal.

Intensive Outpatient

Intensive Outpatient programs are for those who want or need a very structured treatment program but who also wish to live at home and continue with certain responsibilities (such as work or school). IOP substance abuse treatment programs vary in duration and intensity, and certain outpatient rehab centers will offer individualized treatment programs. The Intensive Outpatient Program gives patients the chance to participate in a structured treatment plan part-time while they transition back to home and work or other responsibilities.

Intervention Services

A drug intervention in Massachusetts provides friends and family the opportunity to share how a person's substance use has caused problems in their lives. The goal of the intervention is to encourage the person to get the treatment they need. Most rehab facilities offer intervention services that can help families prepare for the intervention and facilitate entry into treatment if the person agrees to get help.

Programs

Adult Program

Adult rehab programs include therapies tailored to each client's specific needs, goals, and recovery progress. They are tailored to the specific challenges adult clients may face, including family and work pressures and commitments. From inpatient and residential treatment to various levels of outpatient services, there are many options available. Some facilities also help adults work through co-occurring conditions, like anxiety, that can accompany addiction.

Clinical Services

During cognitive behavioral therapy in Massachusetts, clients work with a trained counselor to identify negative thinking patterns and change them. This change in thinking has been shown to lead to changes in behavior to treat substance use and mental health disorders effectively.

If you are experiencing intense, negative emotions, dialectical behavior therapy can help you learn how to regulate painful emotions and manage the interpersonal situations that generate them. This method is often used during substance use treatment in Massachusetts to help you develop better coping skills and avoid relapse.

Group therapy is a safe space for participants to share their stories and experiences within a confidential and judgment free environment. You have the opportunity to openly discuss your difficulties and create a network of community support that can extend long after group therapy sessions end.

Therapists in Massachusetts offer individual therapy in a confidential setting to help you explore the complex factors that have contributed to your drug addiction. Using a tailored approach, your therapist supports you and utilizes evidence based treatment modalities to help you develop healthier thought patterns and behaviors. This builds a foundation for enduring sobriety.

The life skills you'll learn in rehab range from financial management to practicing healthy self care. They help you learn how to solve problems and make decisions, as well as develop healthy interpersonal relationships – all of which are key to successful recovery.

During family therapy, the therapist works with every member of the family unit to understand the role they play in their loved one's addiction. By addressing these patterns, family members learn healthier ways to interact with each other and contribute to a more effective recovery journey for the family member who is addicted.

There is a strong link between nutrition and addiction. That's why drug rehab in Massachusetts includes nutrition therapy to teach you healthy eating habits that support addiction recovery. You'll learn what foods your body needs for healing and long term health.

More like adult daycare than addiction treatment

I was a Meta client from October 2024-May/June 2025. To say Meta has changed my life would be an understatement—I was extremely hesitant and resistant at first when I started at the Haverhill, MA location but was met with love, support, and ultimately, an understanding that getting help is okay. The PHP and IOP programs are transformational, and I wouldn’t be here without them. Thank you so much to the staff, clinicians, and case managers who worked relentlessly to help me! I will miss it but would recommend Meta to anyone.

Tom, we are grateful for your kind words of support. Our expert teams work hard to make a difference in every life we touch, and we appreciate your encouraging thoughts. Wishing you continued success and wellness!

Meta laid the groundwork for my recovery, and I can say it’s changed my life in ways I never expected. The night staff—especially Brooke and Kiana— go above and beyond to make sure you feel comfortable and heard. They don’t just do their job—they show up with their whole heart. You can feel how much they care, and that kind of compassion truly sticks with you. The support I’ve received from the staff since day one has been consistent & genuine. Many of the staff are in recovery themselves, and that creates a level of understanding and safety that’s incredibly rare. The groups are filled with people who are real, kind, and supportive. We all come from different walks of life, but everyone is here for the same reason—and we lift each other up through it. I’ve made real connections and found sober friendships that continue to motivate me daily. If you’re looking for a space where people care, show up, and walk beside you while you grow—Meta is that place!! I’m so grateful for the continued support on this journey. 😄

Thank you for your kind words and thoughtful review! We are dedicated to creating a supportive environment for every client and family, and encouragement like this is always appreciated. All the best to you and yours!

I will be forever grateful to everyone at Meta for the invaluable support I received during a very challenging period in my life. Everyone there is kind, caring, and compassionate. Meta offers a wide array of counselors with both lived experience and expert training. They made a difficult journey much more accessible by providing me with all the resources I needed. I especially appreciate that they continue to follow up with me even after I've completed the program. If you are struggling or concerned or just have questions, give Meta a call.

We strive every day to improve the lives of those we serve. Thank you for your words of encouragement.

The time I spent at META changed my life. I was a shell of a human being when I first arrived and everyone at META embraced me immediately. I learned throughout my time most of the staff are in recovery themselves, so they truly understand where their patients are coming from. This made me feel extremely comfortable. When I entered the program, I was afraid of just about everything life had to throw my way, I was complacent doing nothing with my life. However, after spending months embracing and applying the teachings from META my life has completely turned around. I am now able to enjoy every aspect of life and understand and embrace the not so great parts of life. I've even made some incredible friends throughout my time with META. We keep in touch regularly. If you are in need of a space where everyone will understand you, I highly suggest giving META a shot.

We are thrilled to receive your feedback! We are committed to providing the best care possible to every client and family we touch! Reviews like this encourage us to keep doing the hard work we do every day.
