Conditions and Issues Treated
Alcoholism
Alcoholism is one of the most common addictions in Massachusetts. Alcohol addiction (often referred to as alcoholism or alcohol use disorder) is characterized by a deep craving for alcohol and the inability to quit drinking regardless of any adverse effects. Alcohol use disorder ensues when the chemical changes from long-term alcohol use drive the brain to acclimate to normal functions creating a dependency. Many people who struggle with alcoholism find it challenging to quit without the help of a treatment facility such as GRIT Ridgewood. The alcoholism treatment at GRIT Ridgewood in Springfield, Massachusetts is designed to give you the support you need to quit drinking once and for all.
Drug Addiction
Drug addiction is a chronic disease characterized by a physical and psychological dependency on drugs. Drug addiction occurs when extensive drug use causes changes in a person’s brain chemistry, resulting in uncontrollable cravings to use regardless of the adverse effects. The only way to overcome drug addiction or other addiction disorders is to receive addiction treatment. GRIT Ridgewood in Massachusetts offers many treatment options for those struggling with drug addiction. If you or someone you love is struggling with drug addiction, get help as soon as possible. Prolonged drug use can result in a destructive addiction cycle where you must continue using drugs to avoid distressing withdrawal symptoms. Regardless of your situation, help is available in Massachusetts.
Mental Health
Mental health disorders can lead to severe and potentially life-threatening issues if left untreated. Several factors can disrupt a person’s mental health, including intrinsic factors — such as the development of depression or anxiety — as well as external factors like experiencing traumatic events. Sometimes, counseling alone is not enough to manage a mental health condition. In these cases, GRIT Ridgewood in Springfield, Massachusetts, offers mental health treatment as a more comprehensive level of support in treating mental health disorders in combination with substance use disorders. Mental health treatment at GRIT Ridgewood can offer the stability and guidance needed to facilitate meaningful progress and recovery.
Opioid Addiction
Opioids/opiates are among the most addictive substances worldwide. Prescribed for various medical needs, opioids encompass a large class of prescription drugs such as morphine, oxycodone, and hydrocodone, and illegal substances such as heroin and opium. People who misuse opioids can develop an opioid addiction very quickly. Opioid addiction, also known as an opioid use disorder, is a condition in which someone compulsively seeks the drug. In Springfield, Massachusetts, there are many treatment options to choose from for an opioid/opiate addiction. The most effective form of opioid addiction treatment is drug detox, followed by inpatient drug rehab. GRIT Ridgewood in Springfield, Massachusetts offers opioid addiction treatment tailored to your unique needs and situation.
Substance Abuse
Substance abuse refers to the act of misusing drugs or alcohol. Substance abuse problems can refer to illicit drugs — such as heroin, cocaine, or methamphetamine — or legal drugs, such as alcohol or prescription medications. Substances frequently abused in Springfield, Massachusetts include alcohol, marijuana, prescription drugs, methamphetamine, cocaine, opiates/opioids, hallucinogens, and more. The main difference between substance abuse and drug addiction is that individuals with substance abuse problems can quit or change their unhealthy habits. In contrast, addiction is a disease in which someone can’t just stop using when their addiction causes them harm. People engaged in substance abuse put themselves at risk for developing a substance use disorder, a severe mental health condition that can make it difficult for people to stop using drugs or alcohol on their own. GRIT Ridgewood in Springfield, Massachusetts works to address substance abuse and help people to build fulfilling lives in recovery.

Levels of Care Offered at GRIT Ridgewood
Addiction Treatment
If you're dealing with a drug or alcohol addiction in Massachusetts, there are many ways to get help. You can choose from programs that let you stay at the treatment center, or you can visit for treatment while living at home. There are also programs that focus on treating both addiction and mental health issues at the same time. Plus, you can join support groups that keep on giving help even after you finish a program.
At GRIT Ridgewood, we understand that everyone's journey to recovery is unique. That's why we create a plan that's just for you, based on what you need and what you're going through. Our goal is to help you tackle your addiction from all sides, and teach you how to stay healthy and free from addiction for a long time.
We offer lots of different ways to help you at GRIT Ridgewood in Massachusetts. This includes talking one-on-one with a therapist or sharing your experiences in a group setting. These talks can play a big part in your recovery.
Aftercare
Aftercare programs help people stay on track after they finish addiction treatment. Think of going to treatment as the first big step towards getting better. Usually, this treatment lasts for a short time, from 30 to 180 days. But recovery takes much longer.
Here at GRIT Ridgewood in Massachusetts, our aftercare programs are here to help when the main treatment is done. Once someone completes their treatment, they team up with our staff to make a plan for what comes next. This plan is all about keeping up with their recovery. Also, they can choose to keep getting help from us to stay strong in their journey to stay healthy and free from addiction.
Dual Diagnosis Treatment
In Massachusetts, there are good options for treating people with dual diagnoses. A dual diagnosis means someone has two problems at the same time, like being addicted to drugs and also feeling very depressed. It's usually better to treat both problems together, not one by one. At GRIT Ridgewood in Massachusetts, trained experts help people with dual diagnoses get better by looking at their whole health, not just one issue. This way, they can heal completely and get back to feeling good.
Inpatient Drug Rehab
Inpatient drug rehab is the most intense kind of help you can get for addiction. It's like a live-in program at GRIT Ridgewood where you stay at a place without drugs in Massachusetts. Here, you get help day and night from experts who know a lot about addiction. If you're dealing with addiction and also have another mental health issue, this kind of rehab is a really good choice. It lets you put all your energy into getting better while you're around other people who are working on the same goal.
Intensive Outpatient Program
At GRIT Ridgewood, we have a program called Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP) in Massachusetts. This program is for people who are dealing with problems from using drugs or who also have mental health issues. If you've been to a full-time drug rehab before, our IOP can give you extra help to stay on track.
When you join our IOP at GRIT Ridgewood, you'll come in for treatment a few times a week, for a few hours each time. It's a step up from our regular outpatient program because you'll spend more time with us. This program is great for people who want to get strong treatment but still live at home.
Residential Treatment
At GRIT Ridgewood, people who are working hard to get better from drug and alcohol problems can get help day and night. This help also covers any mental health issues they have because of using these substances. When you're in residential treatment in Massachusetts, you'll take part in different kinds of therapy sessions. These sessions are all about helping you face and deal with the tough stuff that comes with addiction.
Staying at an inpatient rehab is one of the top ways to tackle addiction head-on. People usually stay for a time that can range from a month to about half a year, or sometimes even longer. While you're there, your days will be packed with all sorts of treatments to help you on your journey to recovery.
Sober Living/Halfway House
Sober living homes, also known as halfway houses, at GRIT Ridgewood in Massachusetts serve as a helpful step between inpatient treatment and everyday life. After leaving drug rehab, many people find it hard to adjust to a new daily routine. The sober living houses at GRIT Ridgewood provide a middle ground where residents can practice the skills they learned while getting treatment for addiction. During their stay at GRIT Ridgewood, residents must stay clean and avoid drugs and alcohol. To make sure of this, many addiction treatment places in Massachusetts do regular drug tests. Sober living homes are ideal for those who have just started their journey to recovery and want to build a solid base before they continue recovering by themselves.
