Alcohol rehab in Massachusetts is structured treatment for alcohol use disorder (AUD) that typically includes therapy, medical support, and peer connection, delivered across several levels of care depending on how much structure a person needs.

Our center is family-run and led by CEO Matthew Powers and COO Damon Weinberg, both of whom are personally in recovery. That lived experience shapes how care is delivered here.

Most people who need alcohol rehab cannot stop their lives to get help. Work, family, and financial responsibilities are real, and treatment has to fit around them. Outpatient rehab is designed to do exactly that.
Power of Recovery offers a full outpatient continuum of care, from its Day Treatment Program through its Half-Day Treatment Program and Outpatient Re-entry Program. Programs are available for adults across Massachusetts, including those with co-occurring mental health conditions, working professionals, young adults, and LGBTQ individuals. The center operates 24/7, so help is available whenever someone is ready.
Our Day Treatment Program provides the highest level of outpatient care, offering 25 hours of group therapy per week alongside individual therapy sessions. This structured program is ideal for individuals who need intensive clinical support while still returning home each evening to practice recovery skills in real-world settings. Clients participate in evidence-based therapies, skill-building groups, and relapse prevention planning, all delivered by a multidisciplinary team that understands the complexities of alcohol addiction.
Our Half-Day Treatment Program offers a step down from the Day Treatment Program, providing a balance of therapeutic structure and increased personal flexibility. Clients typically attend programming several hours per day, several days per week, allowing them to maintain work, school, or family responsibilities while continuing to receive meaningful clinical support. This level of care is well-suited for individuals who have stabilized in treatment but still benefit from regular therapy, group support, and ongoing accountability.
The Addiction Re-entry Program at Power of Recovery serves as a transitional bridge between structured treatment and independent living, designed for individuals who have completed higher levels of care and are ready to apply their recovery skills in daily life. This program focuses on relapse prevention, vocational support, life skills development, and reintegration into work, school, and community roles.
With continued access to individual counseling and group support, clients build the confidence and resilience needed to sustain long-term sobriety while staying connected to a supportive recovery community.
What Therapies Are Used in Alcohol Rehab?
Evidence-based therapies are the foundation of effective alcohol treatment. Power of Recovery uses several approaches, including:
- Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT): CBT helps identify and change thought patterns that lead to drinking.
- Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT): DBT builds skills for managing emotions and stress
- Rational emotive behavior therapy (REBT): This therapy challenges unhelpful beliefs
- Motivational Interviewing, which strengthens a person’s own reasons for change
- Trauma-informed therapy: Trauma-informed therapy addresses past experiences that may drive substance use.
Behavioral therapies are among the most effective tools available for treating substance use disorders. In addition to these approaches, Power of Recovery also offers 12-step facilitation and anger management support.
What Does a Week in Alcohol Treatment Look Like?
A week in outpatient alcohol rehab at Power of Recovery is structured but flexible. At the Day Treatment level, clients attend approximately 25 hours of programming per week, including group therapy sessions and individual counseling. At lower levels of care, the weekly hours decrease as a person builds stability.
A typical week includes group therapy, one-on-one sessions with a counselor, and skill-building focused on relapse prevention and daily functioning. Family support groups are also available, because recovery affects the whole household, not just the individual.
How Does This Level of Care Compare to Other Options?
Power of Recovery has partnered with Chelsea’s House sober living to support clients who need a structured living environment alongside outpatient programming. This step-down model helps people transition from higher levels of care without losing momentum.

Frequently Asked Questions
The length of outpatient alcohol rehab varies based on the individual’s needs and the level of care. Treatment duration should be long enough to allow for stabilization and skill-building, which often means several weeks to several months. A clinician will help determine the right timeline during the initial assessment.
Yes. MassHealth covers substance use disorder treatment, including outpatient rehab, under state and federal parity laws. Power of Recovery works with MassHealth, and the admissions team can verify specific benefits before treatment begins.
Many people can continue working while in outpatient rehab. Outpatient programs are designed to fit around work and family schedules, with morning, afternoon, or evening options depending on the level of care. This is one of the main reasons outpatient treatment is ideal for working adults.
Some people do need medical detox before beginning outpatient treatment, particularly those with a history of heavy, daily drinking.

The admissions team at Power of Recovery can help determine whether detox is needed as a first step.
Yes. Outpatient treatment can be just as effective as inpatient treatment for many people with AUD, particularly when combined with ongoing support and a stable living environment. Outcomes improve when treatment addresses both the addiction and any co-occurring mental health conditions.
