Does this program use the 12-Steps?

What types of therapies are used?
The clinical team uses evidence-based methods like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Motivational Interviewing, and holistic approaches, all delivered through individual, group, and family therapy sessions.
How do you treat dual diagnosis / co-occurring disorders?
Mayflower uses an integrated treatment model, addressing both the substance use disorder and any co-occurring mental health conditions (like depression, anxiety, or PTSD) at the same time through coordinated medical and psychiatric care.
Is the program faith-based?
No, the program is clinically focused and not based on any specific faith, making it suitable for individuals of all backgrounds and belief systems.
How long has this facility been open?
Mayflower Recovery was founded and opened its facility in 2021.
Cost & Admission
What will my costs be for treatment?

Daily Life, Rules & Family
How long will I be there?
The typical length of stay for the inpatient/residential program is between 21 and 30 days. The duration of the initial detox phase varies based on individual needs.
What is the living situation like? Can I get my own room?
The living situation is in a modern, clinical facility with separate floors for detox and residential clients. All rooms are semi-private, meaning you will share a room and bathroom with one roommate. Private rooms are not available.
Is this a closed/locked facility?
No, the facility is not locked. However, it is a supervised environment, and clients are not permitted to leave the premises without staff accompaniment. This ensures a safe and structured setting focused on recovery.
Can I use my phone/laptop? Is smoking allowed?
Yes, smoking and vaping are permitted in designated outdoor areas. Personal electronics like cell phones and laptops are not allowed. A facility phone is available for client use, and a case manager may grant supervised access to a personal phone if needed.
What should I bring? What should I leave at home?
Bring: About a week's worth of comfortable, modest clothing, unopened personal hygiene items (alcohol-free), prescribed medications in their original bottles, and your ID/insurance card.
Leave at home: Valuables, revealing clothing, any products containing alcohol, weapons, and all personal electronics like cell phones, laptops, and smart watches.
Support, Staff & Community
Who provides care here? Are there psychiatrists on staff?
Care is provided by a multidisciplinary team that includes a Medical Doctor (MD), Nurse Practitioners (NPs) specialized in both psychiatric and medical care, nursing staff, licensed therapists, and case managers.
Who will be in treatment with me?
The program is co-ed for adults (18+). You will be in a community with other men and women working toward recovery. The detox unit has a capacity of 16 clients, while the residential unit holds up to 32. While units and therapy groups are co-ed, rooms are separated by gender.
What is the family involvement and visitation policy?
Family involvement is an important part of treatment through scheduled family therapy sessions. There are no regular visiting hours, but the clinical team can arrange for family visits on a case-by-case basis when it is beneficial to the client's treatment.
What kind of aftercare and follow-up support is available?
Mayflower Recovery does not offer its own aftercare programs like outpatient or sober living. However, their case management team provides robust discharge planning and will assist clients in finding and connecting with appropriate next steps, such as outpatient providers or sober living homes.
