How We Are Different

  • The Only Treatment Center Serving the Nashoba Valley Region

    We're proud to be the first and only premier treatment facility in a 20+ square mile radius of the Nashoba Valley. This means you can access comprehensive, evidence-based care close to home without having to travel to urban areas. Our local presence allows us to build lasting connections with clients and integrate recovery into your community.
  • Founded on Personal Recovery Experience

    Our founder, Gregory Moulton, brings lived experience of recovery to every aspect of our program. This personal understanding informs our family-style treatment philosophy, creating a safe and welcoming space where judgment is left at the door. We treat clients as partners in their healing, not as patients to be managed.
  • Specialized Gambling Addiction Treatment

    Nashoba Springs offers certified gambling addiction treatment—a rare specialization that makes us the first facility in Massachusetts with this capability. Our team has completed specialized training to address the unique challenges of gambling disorder, which often co-occurs with substance use.
  • Dual Licensing for Comprehensive Care

    We hold substance use disorder (SUD) with mental health licensing, allowing us to treat the whole person. Our integrated approach addresses depression, anxiety, PTSD, eating disorders, and other mental health conditions alongside addiction, recognizing that lasting recovery requires treating all co-occurring conditions.
  • Full-Spectrum Medication-Assisted Treatment

    We offer every major MAT option available: methadone, Suboxone, Subutex, Vivitrol, Sublocade, Antabuse, and Campral. Our medical director works closely with each client to determine the most effective medication protocol tailored to their unique needs, thereby removing barriers to evidence-based treatment.
  • Family-Centered Recovery

    Recovery affects the entire family system. We integrate families through monthly meetings, family therapy sessions, and support groups designed specifically for loved ones. This commitment to family healing sets us apart from facilities that focus solely on the individual.

Frequently Asked Questions

Answers to many common questions.

What types of addiction does Nashoba Springs treat?

Nashoba Springs treats substance use disorders, including alcohol addiction, opioid addiction (heroin, fentanyl, prescription painkillers), benzodiazepine dependence, stimulant addiction (cocaine, methamphetamine), and prescription drug addiction. We also offer specialized gambling addiction treatment—the first facility in Massachusetts with this certified capability. All programs are available at PHP, IOP, and outpatient levels.

What mental health conditions do you treat?

We specialize in dual diagnosis treatment for depression, anxiety, PTSD, and eating disorders that co-occur with substance use disorders. Our team includes licensed mental health counselors (LMHC) and a medical director with psychiatric specialization.

How long does treatment last?

Our PHP program lasts 30-45 days with daily programming Monday through Friday, 9 AM to 3 PM. IOP can be scheduled 3, 4, or 5 days per week with morning, afternoon, or evening sessions. Outpatient programming consists of one group and one individual therapy session weekly. Your clinical team will recommend the appropriate duration based on your progress and individual needs.

What medication-assisted treatment (MAT) options do you offer?

We provide the full spectrum of MAT options: methadone, Suboxone, Subutex, Vivitrol, Sublocade, Antabuse, and Campral. Our medical director conducts assessments within 48 hours of admission and can initiate medication protocols rapidly. We believe in removing barriers to evidence-based treatment and support whatever medication approach works best for your recovery.

How quickly can I be assessed by your medical director?

You’ll meet with our medical director within 48 hours of admission—faster than the industry standard of 72 hours. This rapid assessment allows us to initiate medication-assisted treatment, provide psychiatric evaluation, and address any medical concerns at the very beginning of your program.

Do you offer transportation assistance?

Yes. We recognize that transportation can be a barrier to treatment, especially in our 20+ square mile service area. We provide transportation assistance to ensure clients can access our programming regardless of their location within the Nashoba Valley region.

What makes Nashoba Springs different from other treatment centers?

We’re the first and only premier treatment facility serving the Nashoba Valley region, founded by Gregory Moulton who brings personal recovery experience to our family-style approach. Unlike institutional settings, we treat clients as partners in healing. We offer rare specializations like gambling addiction treatment, comprehensive MAT options, and holistic therapies including sound bowls, Reiki, breath work, and yoga—all in a welcoming environment close to home.

Do you involve families in treatment?

Absolutely. We integrate families through monthly family meetings, individual family therapy sessions, and support groups specifically designed for loved ones. Recovery affects the entire family system, and we’re committed to healing those relationships alongside individual recovery. Your dedicated case manager can help coordinate family involvement.

What is PHP, IOP, and OP programming?

PHP (Partial Hospitalization Program) is our most intensive outpatient level, offering day treatment Monday through Friday, 9 AM-3 PM, for 30-45 days. IOP (Intensive Outpatient) provides 3-5 days of weekly programming in morning, afternoon, or evening time slots. OP (Outpatient) offers ongoing maintenance support with one group and one individual session weekly. Most clients start at PHP and progress through levels as they advance.

What therapeutic approaches do you use?

We integrate evidence-based modalities, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Smart Recovery groups, Dharma recovery, and relapse prevention programming. We also offer holistic therapies, including sound bowls, Reiki, breathwork, and yoga. Every client receives at least one individual therapy session weekly, with additional sessions available as needed.

Do you offer evening programs for working individuals?

Yes. Our IOP includes evening sessions Monday through Thursday, 6 PM to 9 PM, allowing you to maintain employment or other daytime commitments while receiving intensive treatment. We also offer morning and afternoon IOP sessions for greater scheduling flexibility.

What happens after I complete treatment?

We believe recovery is a lifelong journey. After completing PHP or IOP, many clients step down to our outpatient program for continued support. We’ve also partnered with local sober living providers to offer housing options. Your case manager will help coordinate aftercare planning, including ongoing therapy, support group connections, and community resources throughout the Nashoba Valley.

Do you accept insurance?

Yes, we accept most major insurance plans. Our admissions team will verify your coverage, explain your benefits, and handle all authorization processes before you begin treatment.

When should I seek treatment?

If substance use is interfering with your relationships, work, health, or quality of life, treatment can help. Warning signs include unsuccessful attempts to cut back, withdrawal symptoms, increased tolerance, neglecting responsibilities, or continued use despite negative consequences. If you’re unsure whether you need help, our admission coordinator can provide a free and confidential assessment to discuss your situation.
