Behavioral Health Treatment Worcester, Massachusetts – NuLife Behavioral Health

The treatment process at NuLife Worcester starts with an assessment. This initial session is free and confidential. To get started, all you need to do is call NuLife at 508-271-1972. Alternatively, you can connect with us online. We’ll confirm your insurance eligibility and contact you to schedule an assessment.

Assessment: This session is a client meeting where we discuss your reasons for seeking help. We’ll determine your treatment needs and how NuLife can address them.

Clients with a substance use disorder may need to complete a detox program before getting started with NuLife. Some people must undergo a supervised medical detox as part of their drug rehab or alcohol rehab process. Whether this is necessary depends on how severe and long-standing your addiction is and the specific substances involved.

Treatment: You’ll work with the same treatment team throughout your program, meeting with them to understand and address the problems you’re facing.

All NuLife treatment programs are outpatient programs, whether they are addressing mental health issues or substance abuse. They’re designed for people who can work towards their goals without the need for residential treatment. Depending on whether you’re in a PHP or IOP, you’ll spend two to eight hours a day at NuLife Worcester, five to seven days a week.

Each program has a core of individual and group therapy. We use evidence-based techniques like cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), relapse prevention, and trauma therapy. We also offer experiential therapies such as art and music therapy, yoga, and wilderness therapy. These sessions help clients manage stress, increase confidence, and build mental resilience.

Therapy and treatment options at NuLife include:

• Addiction/substance abuse treatment: An addiction treatment program based on a core of individual and group therapy. Family support sessions are also available. Clients can take part in experiential therapies such as yoga and meditation.
• Mental health treatment: To support people with mental health issues, including anxiety, depression, PTSD, and bipolar disorder. The program provides group and individual therapy, along with evidence-based and holistic treatments.

• Group therapy: An important part of every NuLife program, where clients connect with peers. In group sessions, clients benefit from new perspectives, peer support, and a sense of community.
