Located near Nelson Beach, South Shore Recovery Center Plymouth opened in 2024 and maintains Joint Commission accreditation. Because it is an outpatient facility, people come to sessions on weekdays and return home instead of staying overnight. That arrangement works for someone who must keep a job or look after family during treatment. Services are provided in English.
The center describes its approach as person-centered and evidence-based, meaning the plan is built around one person's circumstances instead of a fixed schedule for everyone. Treatment addresses substance use alongside mental health conditions that often appear at the same time, such as anxiety, depression, or post-traumatic stress disorder. Programs at this Massachusetts center combine counseling, family work, and 12 Step facilitation.
One of 326 SAMHSA-listed facilities in Massachusetts, this center focuses on outpatient addiction treatment. Its profile lists day treatment, intensive outpatient programming, and standard outpatient counseling. Someone moving between those levels can usually stay with the same team, which keeps the clinical picture in one place. The sections below cover programs, who it serves, setting, and payment.
Outpatient care in Massachusetts
Outpatient programs in Massachusetts at this center include day treatment, intensive outpatient, and standard counseling. The right level depends on how much structure a clinician recommends after an assessment. Since care is outpatient, clients attend during the week sessions and return home afterward. The options sit under one roof, which can make it easier to step up or down as needs change.
Therapy options listed include individual counseling, group counseling cognitive behavioral therapy family counseling dialectical behavior therapy, mindfulness therapy, psychoeducation, and 12 Step facilitation. The center also notes an introduction to the 12 Step program. This Plymouth dual diagnosis treatment center works on mental health and substance use together rather than addressing one first and the other later. When both are a struggle, the team is arranged to tackle them at the same time.
Evidence-based and holistic approaches shape the drug and alcohol rehab services here. The profile lists individual treatment, medical support, trauma-informed care, and a Twelve Step orientation. If a person has experienced trauma, ask how the staff adjusts the pace of groups and counseling, because trauma-informed care should change what a session looks like. Creative and recreational activities are also part of the wellness focus, per the center's description.

Setting, time in care, and languages
This Plymouth outpatient center offers treatment in English with a typical program length of 14 days or longer, depending on the person's needs and progress. There are no overnight beds, so participants commute to sessions from home or another supportive setting. The address is 182 Standish Ave, Plymouth, MA 02360, near Nelson Beach.

Common questions
What are the intensive residential treatment programs available in Massachusetts?
Massachusetts has residential programs, but South Shore Recovery Center Plymouth is an outpatient center with day treatment, intensive outpatient programming, and standard counseling listed. Among 326 SAMHSA-listed facilities in the state, several offer residential care, so a person who needs 24-hour support can find it elsewhere. If withdrawal from alcohol or benzodiazepines is part of the picture, medical staff should supervise that first, since it can be dangerous. The helpline can help you compare levels of care before you call any center.
Does MassHealth cover outpatient rehab at South Shore Recovery Center?
What you pay hinges on your particular MassHealth plan and the level of care. Its profile shows cash pay rates, and MassHealth is not listed there as an accepted option, so it is best to call the center and ask. Inquire about private insurance as well, and keep your plan details handy. Before committing to anything, calling the hotline can assist you in confirming benefits and openings here or at other SAMHSA-listed facilities across Massachusetts.
How long do people with a substance use disorder stay in rehab?
There is no single answer, and no program can promise an outcome. South Shore Recovery Center lists a typical program length of 14 days or longer for its outpatient services, and the exact length depends on progress and the recommended level of care. If a person needs a longer stay or a higher level of care, ask about discharge planning and referrals. Ask about the weekly schedule before starting so the household can plan around it.
What is the difference between detox and rehab?
Detox is the medical process of ridding the body of a substance, usually with clinical monitoring, whereas rehab means continuing treatment like counseling and therapy. South Shore Recovery Center runs an outpatient program and does not list detox services. When a person is withdrawing from alcohol or benzodiazepines, medical staff should oversee that process, since it can be dangerous. If a monitored detox program is needed, the helpline can help you locate one.
What is BSAS in Massachusetts?
BSAS stands for the Bureau of Substance Addiction Services, the state agency that oversees publicly funded addiction treatment in Massachusetts. It is separate from the 326 SAMHSA-listed facilities and may matter if you are seeking state-funded care. South Shore Recovery Center Plymouth is a private outpatient program. If you want to understand state-funded options, the helpline can point you toward the right office and help you ask the right questions.
