Banyan Treatment Center Wilmington Philosophy
Banyan Treatment Center's mission is to help struggling drug addicts and alcoholics reach their goal of a healthy, happy and productive sober life through an array of treatment services provided by our licensed clinical and medical professionals.
Our drug and alcohol rehab programs provides an alternative to traditional inpatient / residential treatment or as a step down from a higher level of care. We emphasize and try to instill the importance of consistency, accountability, and responsibility along with the vital importance of a 12 step program in everybody’s daily lives to achieve the goal of permanent sobriety.
After going through his own difficulties battling the disease of addiction Bob Reynolds, Banyan's Director, spent many years working in the recovery community trying to give back by helping other suffering addicts and alcoholics. It was Bob’s vision to start an honest, clean and supportive community for people to recover in. This vision became a reality when he teamed up with a young investor who also had a passion for helping young adults gain the tools they need in order to succeed in life.

ABOUT BANYAN TREATMENT CENTER
Banyan Treatment Center operates three outpatient treatment centers in Massachusetts, Illinois, and Florida, as well as a detox facility in Florida. The Banyan Treatment Center in Massachusetts offers a partial hospitalization program (PHP), intensive outpatient program (IOP), outpatient treatment, and aftercare for clients seeking treatment for substance abuse, and is located in an industrial zone in the suburban town of Wilmington, 15 miles north of Boston. Some detox services may be available to help clients prepare for the treatment programs. Aftercare services are integrated into all of the treatment programs.
TREATMENT & ASSESSMENT
The treatment process at Banyan Treatment Center (Banyan Massachusetts) begins with an assessment by medical and clinical team members. Their goal is to determine how to best treat a client including identifying the need for detox. Medication can be provided to help manage withdrawal and treatment practices. However, a full detox program is not available.
Treatment consists of a medical component and a therapeutic component. The medical component of treatment is primarily covered through Vivitrol injections. Vivitrol is a medicine that blocks brain receptors that are activated by opioids. It can be used to reduce the likelihood of relapse on opioids or alcohol. The therapeutic component of the program consists of group, family, couples’, and individual therapy. The programs also emphasize long-term recovery and preventing relapse.
Therapy comprises a large segment of the treatment process. Clients spend much of their time in individual counseling and group sessions which focus on identifying problem behaviors and developing coping skills. Educational courses are also used to teaching sober living skills and to help clients establish better living habits.
The center is open five days a week, and sessions are scheduled to suit a variety of schedules, including those who have daytime commitments. There is dedicated programming at all intensities — PHP, IOP, and general outpatient — for professionals, such as teachers, healthcare professionals, business executives, and legal professionals.
Aftercare services are available to help clients transition back into their communities. Upon completing treatment, all clients are welcome to join the alumni program, which helps them to stay connected to one another the recovery community.
