Conditions and Issues Treated
Opioid addiction treatment facilities like The Dimock Center - John Flowers Recovery Home support people struggling with opioid dependency, which covers illegal and prescription opioids. People often abuse prescription opioids to get high instead of adhering to a medical provider’s directions. Addiction forces people to crave for opioids impulsively without factoring in the dangers these drugs bring to them.
Most opioid addiction treatment plans include detoxification and subsequent medications to ease the process. However, that’s only the beginning. Behavioral therapies and counseling are also necessary to resolve the root cause of addiction. This overall approach decreases the likelihood of falling off the wagon. In some instances, therapies can be done at home.
An underlying cause often brings about addiction. Mental disorders can lie at the center, such as schizophrenia, bipolar disorder or anxiety disorder. As well as the cause of the addiction, a dual diagnosis by The Dimock Center - John Flowers Recovery Home helps to treat the addiction. This ensures that after treatment is complete, the patient will not fall back on old practices.

Detoxification is the first step in drug addiction treatment. A controlled environment where symptoms can be managed with medication and close observation is provided by drug detoxification. Detoxification is an essential step in the recovery process, but it is also one of the most dangerous. Due to the potential danger, it’s critical to understand what detoxification is and how to complete it safely.
Detoxification usually includes:
- Medical supervision.

When remaining at their job in Boston, or continuing their studies, the individual may live with their family while utilizing The Dimock Center - John Flowers Recovery Home‘s outpatient services.

After completing treatment, sober living homes are Boston homes where addicts have the opportunity to go. The Dimock Center - John Flowers Recovery Home programs encourage a lifestyle of sober living. To keep residents clean, curfews, chores, and counseling sessions are implemented. To help recovering addicts transition to the outside world, vocational preparation and other resources are also offered.
Residential treatment programs are those that offer housing and meals in addition to substance abuse treatment. Rehab facilities that offer residential treatment allow patients to focus solely on recovery, in an environment totally separate from their lives. Some rehab centers specialize in short-term residential treatment (a few days to a week or two), while others solely provide treatment on a long-term basis (several weeks to months). Some offer both, and tailor treatment to the patient’s individual requirements.
