About Groups Recover Together
Located just a short 4-minute stroll from the Bates College Museum of Art and less than a minute from Kennedy Park, the facility offers accessible outpatient treatment for individuals dealing with opioid use disorder. Established in 2014, the center has been committed to delivering comprehensive services through medication-assisted treatment (MAT), alongside both virtual and face-to-face counseling options. Open Monday to Friday, the center is not operational on weekends.
Patients benefit from evidence-based interventions, which include cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), motivational interviewing (MI), and the matrix model. These methodologies focus on addressing trauma, managing anger, and preventing relapse to foster emotional well-being and sustained recovery. Additional services encompass substance use education, planning for discharge, coordination of aftercare, and support for the deaf and hard of hearing.
The center administers FDA-approved suboxone to help ease withdrawal symptoms and minimize cravings, supplemented by weekly group therapy meetings. Clients are given tailored support from a dedicated team, which includes substance use counselors, recovery support specialists, and healthcare professionals. Intake specialists are available 24/7 to offer assistance and help clients easily arrange appointments online at their convenience.
