Beacon ShoresAddiction doesn't define you, but breaking free can feel impossible when you're facing it alone. Our treatment program meets you exactly where you are—without judgment, without shame—and walks alongside you toward lasting recovery. Here, in a setting where the rhythm of the ocean reminds us that change is natural and constant, you'll find the clinical expertise and genuine compassion needed to heal.
We understand that every person's relationship with substances is unique, shaped by different experiences, traumas, and circumstances. That's why our approach is never one-size-fits-all. We blend evidence-based therapies with holistic practices, creating a personalized path that addresses not just the addiction itself, but the underlying reasons you started using and the life you want to build in recovery.
What Addiction Treatment Involves
Our comprehensive program integrates multiple therapeutic modalities to address the physical, psychological, and emotional dimensions of addiction. You'll work with a dedicated treatment team that may include therapists, medical professionals, and wellness specialists who collaborate to create your individualized plan. Treatment typically includes individual counseling, group therapy, family sessions when appropriate, and evidence-based approaches like cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavior therapy. We also incorporate mindfulness practices, nutritional support, and activities that help you reconnect with yourself and discover healthy coping mechanisms.
The intensity and duration of care depends entirely on your needs. Some clients benefit from our structured day programs while maintaining their daily responsibilities, while others need more intensive support. Throughout your journey, we continuously assess your progress and adjust your treatment plan accordingly. You'll learn to identify triggers, develop relapse prevention strategies, understand the neuroscience of addiction, and begin rebuilding the relationships and routines that support long-term sobriety. The goal isn't just to stop using—it's to create a foundation for a fulfilling life beyond addiction.

Who Benefits from Treatment
Addiction treatment is for anyone whose substance use has begun affecting their health, relationships, work, or sense of self—and for those who love them. You don't need to have lost everything to deserve help. If you've tried to quit on your own without success, if you're using more than you intended, if substances have become your primary coping mechanism, or if you're simply tired of living this way, treatment can help. It's also for people facing co-occurring mental health conditions like depression, anxiety, or trauma that fuel their substance use.
Many people wait until they've reached a crisis point, but early intervention often leads to better outcomes. You might benefit from treatment if you're spending significant time obtaining or recovering from substances, if your tolerance has increased, if you experience withdrawal symptoms, or if you continue using despite negative consequences. Family members who are struggling to support someone with addiction can also benefit from our guidance and family programming. There's no perfect time to seek help—but today is always better than tomorrow.
Common questions
How long does addiction treatment take?
Treatment length varies based on individual needs, the substances involved, and your progress. Some people benefit from several weeks of intensive care, while others need longer support. Research shows that 90 days or more of treatment often produces the best long-term outcomes, but we'll work with you to determine what's realistic and effective for your situation.
Will I have to stop working or leave my family during treatment?
Not necessarily. We offer different levels of care to fit various life circumstances. Some programs allow you to maintain work and family commitments while attending treatment during specific hours, while others require more intensive, immersive participation. We'll discuss your responsibilities and constraints during the assessment to find the right fit.
What happens if I relapse after treatment?
Relapse is a common part of many recovery journeys and doesn't mean treatment failed or that you've failed. It's a signal to reassess and adjust your approach. We provide aftercare support and are here to help you get back on track quickly, learn from what happened, and strengthen your recovery plan going forward.
Do you treat specific types of addiction?
We address a wide range of substance use disorders, including alcohol, opioids, stimulants, benzodiazepines, and other substances. During your initial assessment, we'll discuss your specific situation and determine whether our program is the right fit or if we should refer you to more specialized care for your needs.
