About High Point Treatment Center – Post Office Square – Taunton
High Point Treatment Center in Taunton, Massachusetts, was an outpatient clinic that provided addiction recovery services. It is now closed. The treatments that were available included individual and family therapy and the intensive outpatient program. The facility also offered treatment for gambling addiction.
One of the programs that stood out at this location was the adolescent community reinforcement approach. It was designed to reduce substance use among teens and improve physical and mental health. Activities that were a part of the program included behavioral rehearsals and participating in positive leisure activities.
The facility used evidence based therapeutic approaches to help individuals overcome addiction. In individual therapy, counselors would focus on helping clients understand the underlying issues that were causing their addiction. Clients would learn to identify their triggers such as relationship conflicts and high stress situations.
Through dialectical behavioral therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy, patients would develop emotional regulation and distress tolerance. Family counseling was beneficial in helping clients to heal their relationships and strengthen their support system. Families learned what role they played in possibly influencing the addictive behavior of their loved one and ways they can better support the recovery process.
The facility was less than an hour away from Providence, Rhode Island. In between treatment sessions, clients could take a trip to the town and find unique sober activities they could enjoy. A few places that patients may have visited were the Roger Williams Park and RISD Museum.
