Core Rehab Services Near Fall River

Each treatment plan is individualized based on your history and medical needs.

Detox is the first step in recovery, and withdrawal can be uncomfortable and sometimes dangerous without supervision. Our 24/7 medical detox provides monitoring, medication-assisted support when appropriate, and a safe environment before transitioning into residential care.

Inpatient rehab offers a structured, supportive setting where you can focus entirely on recovery. Through individual therapy, group counseling, and relapse prevention planning, you build a foundation for long-term sobriety.

Residential rehab provides immersive treatment in a stable environment removed from everyday triggers. This level of care is ideal if you need extended support after detox or have experienced previous relapse.

Stimulant & Prescription Drug Addiction

Common Addiction Concerns in Fall River, Massachusetts

Stimulant & Prescription Drug Addiction

Addictions involving cocaine, Adderall, crystal meth, and Xanax are increasingly common across SouthCoast Health’s service area. These substances often co-occur with anxiety, depression, or trauma.

Our inpatient rehab provides structured therapy, medical oversight, and dual-diagnosis treatment when mental health conditions are present. We treat the underlying causes — not just the symptoms — helping you rebuild stability.

Alcohol Dependence in Historic Mill Communities

Common Addiction Challenges

Alcohol Dependence in Historic Mill Communities

Alcohol remains one of the most common addictions in Fall River’s older residential neighborhoods like Globe Village and Steep Brook. Long-standing social drinking patterns, economic stress, and generational habits can make alcohol misuse harder to recognize.

Our alcohol detox program ensures safe withdrawal management, followed by residential therapy that addresses emotional triggers, stress management, and coping skills. Recovery begins with stabilization and continues with personalized treatment planning.

Opioid & Fentanyl Addiction in Bristol County

Why is Methadone Effective for Craving Reduction in Long-term Opioid Users

Common Addiction Challenges

Opioid & Fentanyl Addiction in Bristol County

Fall River and the surrounding communities have been heavily impacted by opioid misuse, including fentanyl. Easy highway access via Route 24 and I-195 has contributed to broader regional distribution patterns. Many individuals begin with prescription pain medication before transitioning to heroin or fentanyl.

Our medically supervised detox provides 24/7 monitoring to manage withdrawal safely. We stabilize you physically before transitioning into structured inpatient rehab focused on relapse prevention and long-term recovery strategies.

ShorePoint Detox truly made a difficult time feel manageable. From the moment I arrived, the staff treated me with respect, compassion, and zero judgment. The nurses and techs were attentive and genuinely cared about my comfort and safety, checking in often and explaining everything clearly.

The facility itself was clean, calm, and well-organized, which made a huge difference during detox. The medical team was professional and responsive, and I felt supported both physically and emotionally throughout my stay.

If you or a loved one are looking for a detox center where people actually care and treat you like a human being—not just a patient—I would absolutely recommend ShorePoint Detox.

Case management here at Shore Point is so invested and amazing, especially Gail and Jenna. Any questions I had were answered with care and as soon as possible. They absolutely are rock stars. Groups are great, Jeff is so knowledgeable and teaches in a very professional and relatable way, it feels like im at college. All of the techs are kind and genuinely care. They have a great attitude I can tell they like working here and helping the clients. 10/10 I'd highly recommend this facility to anyone struggling with addiction.

I had a very nice stay while being treated, the staff is very kind and accommodating, tablets for entertainment was a huge plus for comfort. I have been treated at 2 different facilities previously and this by far was the best outcome. Supervisor Jimmy was very kind and helpful, nurse Gabe was awesome as well. If I could put more than 5 stars i would.

I am learning so much and highly recommend this place to anyone trying to make a change. Esha has taught me so much about how I internalize and process information and I realize I have been really living outside my value system. The facility is beautiful and the staff is highly qualified. If you get Esha you're lucky! Just make the call!

Overall, My experience at Shore Point has been very positive. Going into this experience I wasn’t sure what exactly I’d get out of it. I can safely say Shore Point has made the space to confront my struggles head on.

The therapy staff is incredible. Each therapist has their own unique perspective to care and recovery. Regardless of who you are assigned they genuinely want to see you succeed. Tommy is full of laughs and wisdom. He has taken the time to get to know me and my story and taken accountability when I did not feel heard at times.

The nursing staff on the whole very caring. However, they could benefit from more communication and organization internally. Sonia the Nurse Practitioner is very nice and took the time to ensure I was educated on medications before taking them. Angel, Gabe, Derrick, Jimmy, and Delaney are exceptional.

The resident Psychiatrist is extremely intelligent and straightforward. I think the Shore Point staff could benefit from a doctor who can be here more presently from day to day.

Gail and Becca from case work go above and beyond and are always finding ways to ease clients minds about their plans. They make the patients here feel supported in their financial concerns and as well as in their recovery. They make an incredible team.

The groups offered here are very diverse. The topics allowed me to explore recovery from an educational, practical, and spiritual perspective. They have been by far the best part of the experience for me. Even when I don’t identify with some of the sentiments shared by the group facilitators it has challenged and affirmed my own belief systems.

The Behavior Health Techs are incredibly hard workers. For the most part, they are focused solely on their duties. Similar to the nursing staff, they could benefit from a little more organization and maintaining a standard practice. I would like to shout out Shantelle, Keandra, Jenna, Laurie, Joe, Shaun, and Micheal.

As for the amenities, the facility is very nice overall. It is a soft place to land when seeking help and treatment. On the whole, it is very clean and orderly. Food is provided 3 meals a day sometimes more. As the patient capacity gets higher the amount of food sometimes doesn’t adjust to meet the new influx of people. Laundry is done for you here which is very nice. It does vary based on the BHT doing it. This could benefit from a standard of practice as well. Commitments are offered nightly. They are not associated with the organization directly and come voluntarily. You also have the choice to involve yourself in these commitments as well. I also spent my time here over the Holidays. The staff went above and beyond to make these days feel special and celebratory. Other amenities offered include yoga, facials, massages, reiki, and hair cuts. Yoga has especially had a profound impact on my recovery and mental health.

Shore Point has been open for less than a year. Many of the concerns I voiced are most likely a product of the time it’s been open. I see this facility being very successful in helping patients find recovery in the future.

I am not always the easiest person to deal with but complete respect and much needed attention was all I was given from intake to discharge. The facility is beautiful, but the staff is was gives this center 5 stars. The Program Director Erin, The Clinical Director Rebecca, The Nursing Director Jenn, All the therapists Tammy, Tommy, Jeff and Esha were ALL amazing and very accommodating. They helped me turn my life around and I cannot be more thankful for them.

My recovery here at Shorepoint was everything I hoped for. Clean safe environment and spacious living. Attentive clinical addiction education and therapy. Medical staff and medication management was attentive and available. Time outside the group education was spent in comfortable lounges with network TVs and gaming services. There is a work out space as well as a game room. I enjoyed the variety of items with the dinning provided. Plenty of snacks and goodies for all cravings. Also I really enjoyed the client “special” experiences: Pizza wing night, ice cream food truck days, yoga, message, chiropractor, facial, hair cut and other special fun activities. I highly recommend the care and attention provided here at Sharepoint for yourself or loved one.

Shore Point Recovery is a great facility. The staff is great from top to bottom. Everyone is knowledgeable in their respective field and very kind. Living conditions are very acceptable. The beds are extremely comfortable. What is asked of clients at Shore Point is not overwhelming at all. If you are looking for a place in the northeast to heal and get back on track with full support from everyone around you I would strongly consider Shore Point as an option.

Becca is the best case manager!!! Her and Gayle and Christopher are the best administrator team you could ever ask for!!! Christopher is the BHT supervisor. From day one, he went above and beyond to make sure anything that could make my stay more comfortable and help me.Ease through the detox process was easily taken care of. From the day I got here and met becca as my case manager.She was above and beyond the shining bright star that I needed in the dark times in my life. She made sure to explain everything thoroughly and properly.So I had great understanding of what was going on with my stay here.
