Free Consultation

Our experienced staff will walk you through a line of questions designed to help us truly understand your loved one and your concerns, so that we can determine exactly how we can help.

Although we always want to help, if for some reason it is determined that our services are not a good fit for you, we will help refer you to another service that is more suited for your needs.

Our Consultation is for the family of an addict or alcoholic, not for an addict or alcoholic. Our services are to help you deal with their addiction, not to treat their addiction. It’s important that you and your family get help first before we address your loved one’s addiction. If your life is confusing and chaotic, how can you be effective in helping someone else’s life?

The Family Support Group

These meetings are open to all family members and loved ones struggling to understand addiction and how they can become a useful resource for their loved one. For dates and cancellation notices please sign up for email updates, follow us on Facebook, or check our calendar below.

Family Support Service

Our Family Support Service is a very universal and flexible service that can be customized to help you address and deal with your loved one’s problem. Our knowledgeable and experienced staff are here to help you navigate through this difficult problem while your loved one is in treatment or while we are figuring out a way to get them into treatment.

We want to help you create a support system that will strengthen the family as a whole. BRS involvement with the family during this process consists of in-office meetings, phone calls, Skype sessions, and emails.This is a perfect opportunity to be proactive and learn how to build, change, and improve on family communication skills and develop healthy boundaries.

Intervention Services

Requested by family members deeply concerned about the well-being of a drug addict or alcoholic, an intervention attempts to persuade the addict to get professional help immediately. Baystate Recovery’s specialist Michael Wilson communicates with compelling, therapeutic arguments to the addict for seeking treatment.

What to Expect from an Interventionist

As a certified interventionist, Michael Wilson will first evaluate a potential candidate’s situation and then recommend the an intervention plan that will work best to convince your loved one to voluntarily get treatment.

Interventionists prepare families for the intervention by telling them what to expect from an addict who is confronted with the choice of entering a rehab program or being abandoned by family and friends. An interventionist may have several meetings with family members prior to an intervention, where everyone is coached on what they need to do, what to say and how to react to an addict’s manipulative behavior.

Enabling family members often receive additional counseling from the interventionist before the intervention is held. Enablers give addicts money to obtain their drugs or alcohol, drive them places, bail them out when they get arrested and provide them with a place to crash when they need it. In many cases, enablers are the parents or grandparents of an addict who refuse to see the dire nature of a substance abuse situation.

Sober Living

The first several days and weeks after you become sober can be some of your most challenging days yet. Staying sober requires you to avoid and manage triggers that previously led to drug and alcohol use, but this can be difficult to do on your own without having a strong and reliable support system to hold you accountable. A sober living house can help you transition to normal everyday life after completing a drug rehab program by giving you the peer support you need to achieve lasting sobriety.

What Are Sober Living Homes?

The Journal of Substance Abuse Treatment defines sober living homes and communities as alcohol and drug-free environments for people who want to stay abstinent and develop healthier, recovery-oriented lifestyles. Everyone who lives in a sober living home is in recovery from drug or alcohol addiction. These individuals are often highly motivated to stay sober and provide a strong support system for peers who are newly sober or who need help staying sober at times of need.

According to the Journal of Psychoactive Drugs, social support for recovery plays an important role in long-term abstinence from drugs and alcohol. Participation in 12-step support groups like Alcoholics Anonymous and Narcotics Anonymous is usually either required or strongly encouraged for residents in sober living homes. Support groups such as these can help peers stay connected with one another and promote the development of strong bonds that protect against relapse.

Sober living communities come with strict house rules such as staying abstinent and keeping all drugs and alcohol off the property. Residents may also be responsible for completing certain chores and are required to pay rent and related living expenses.
