Beacon ShoresSubstance use disorders affect every part of life—relationships, health, work, and the future you envision for yourself. If you or someone you care about is struggling, you already know that willpower alone isn't enough. Recovery requires professional support, proven treatment methods, and an environment that makes healing possible.
Our coastal treatment center offers comprehensive care for substance use disorders, combining evidence-based therapies with the natural serenity of the ocean. We understand that every person's journey with addiction is unique, which is why we create individualized treatment plans that address not just the substance use itself, but the underlying factors that sustain it.
What Substance Use Disorder Treatment Involves
Substance use disorder treatment is a structured, multi-phase approach designed to help you safely stop using substances, understand the roots of your addiction, and build sustainable recovery skills. Treatment typically begins with a thorough assessment to understand your substance use history, mental health needs, physical health status, and personal circumstances. This assessment informs a personalized treatment plan that may include medical detoxification (when necessary), individual therapy, group counseling, family sessions, and holistic wellness practices.
Our treatment model integrates evidence-based approaches including cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, motivational interviewing, and trauma-informed care. Beyond addressing the physical aspects of addiction, we focus on the emotional, psychological, and social dimensions of recovery. You'll participate in therapeutic activities, skill-building sessions, and wellness practices in a supportive environment where healing feels possible. Treatment is not a one-size-fits-all experience—your plan evolves as you progress, ensuring you receive the right level of care at each stage of your recovery journey.

Who Benefits from This Treatment
Substance use disorder treatment is for anyone whose relationship with alcohol or drugs has become harmful, unmanageable, or distressing—regardless of how long you've been struggling or what substances you've been using. You might benefit from treatment if substance use is affecting your health, relationships, work, or daily functioning, if you've tried to stop on your own without success, or if you're experiencing withdrawal symptoms when you try to cut back.
This treatment serves people at various stages of addiction, from those just recognizing they have a problem to individuals who have been through treatment before and need additional support. You don't need to hit "rock bottom" to deserve help—seeking treatment is a sign of strength, not weakness. We also support family members who are affected by a loved one's substance use, offering guidance, education, and resources to navigate this challenging journey together.
Common questions
How long does substance use disorder treatment take?
Treatment duration varies based on individual needs, substance use severity, and personal circumstances. Programs typically range from 30 to 90 days for residential care, though some people benefit from longer stays or transition to outpatient services. Your treatment team will regularly assess your progress and recommend the length of care that gives you the best foundation for lasting recovery.
Will I have to stop taking my prescribed medications?
No, legitimate prescribed medications for physical or mental health conditions are typically continued during treatment. Our medical team will review all your medications, coordinate with your prescribing providers, and ensure you receive appropriate medical care throughout your stay. Medication-assisted treatment for certain substance use disorders may also be incorporated into your recovery plan when clinically appropriate.
Can I stay in contact with my family during treatment?
Yes, family connection is generally encouraged as part of the healing process. While early treatment may include a brief period of limited contact to help you focus on stabilization, most programs include structured family communication, visiting opportunities, and family therapy sessions. We recognize that recovery happens within the context of relationships and involve loved ones appropriately throughout your journey.
What happens if I relapse after completing treatment?
Relapse is sometimes part of the recovery process, not a failure or an ending. If substance use recurs after treatment, reaching out for support immediately is crucial—whether that means connecting with your aftercare therapist, attending support meetings, or returning for additional treatment. Many people require multiple episodes of care to achieve lasting recovery, and we're here to support you through every stage of your journey without judgment.
