Recovering Champions is a part time alcohol and drug rehab for adults in Falmouth, Massachusetts. Here, you’ll join a recovery community. Together you’ll learn to live in a new way through the 12 step principles, therapy and friendship.

Once you’ve completed detox, you’ll be welcomed into a peaceful environment. Your therapist will work out a recovery plan for you. They’ll ask about your physical and mental health history and assess if you’re ready to let go of unhealthy behavior patterns. The amount of support you have at home will also be considered.

If you need medicinal support, they provide addiction medicine. You’ll usually start taking it during detox to reduce your withdrawal symptoms. It helps you to detox safely. You’ll go on to a maintenance dosage to reduce cravings. They’ll give you medication specifically for the substances you’ve been using. Medication has been shown to prevent overdoses and relapses.

Your therapist will work with you to identify your long term goals and purpose. You’ll get the emotional support you need to imagine a different life for yourself and your family. A case manager will work with you to make sure your practical and legal needs are met.

I appreciate that much of recovery here is built on meaningful relationships. Getting to know others who are facing similar challenges allows for mutual support. You become each others’ cheerleaders toward a hopeful future.

To make recovery accessible to as many as possible, they accept most types of health insurance. They’re happy to discuss other possibilities if insurance isn’t working out.

Those who’ve been through recovery there say they were given the tools they needed for sober living. Others comment on the friendships and community they discovered. Many talk about their lives changing. Some have said their mental health treatment wasn’t as good as their substance use program.
