The Best Outpatient Rehab in Plymouth, Massachusetts
If you’re reading this, something isn’t working anymore. Your alcohol use has become an issue. No worries. That’s why we’re here.
At South Shore Recovery Center, men and women in and around Plymouth, MA rely on us for dependable therapy that does not require full residential care. If your drinking problem hasn’t reached the point of requiring inpatient hospitalization, but it’s clearly disrupting your daily life, now is the time to act.
Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP/SACOT)
South Shore’s Partial Hospitalization Program is the highest level of outpatient alcohol treatment we offer. It is designed for individuals who need intensive clinical support but do not require inpatient hospitalization.
PHP can serve as a starting point for those whose addiction has escalated, or as a step-down option after completing residential rehab. Either way, it provides structured daily therapy while allowing you to begin rebuilding independence.

Why PHP Works
This level of care delivers more clinical hours and therapeutic depth than traditional outpatient sessions. You receive comprehensive substance abuse treatment during the day while maintaining more flexibility than a fully residential setting.
For those transitioning from inpatient rehab, PHP bridges the gap between full-time care and real-world reintegration. That transition period is where relapse often happens. Structure during this phase is critical.
Every one of our PHP clients in outpatient treatment stays in a luxurious facility. This is intentional. Returning home too early, dramatically increases relapse risk. We remove that risk so you can focus fully on recovery.
If your addiction feels unstable or unpredictable, PHP may be the safest next step.
Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP)
Our Intensive Outpatient Program is built for individuals whose addictions are less severe but still require structured intervention. If you have work, school or family responsibilities, IOP allows you to receive meaningful therapy without stepping completely away from daily life.
This is not a light program. Our outpatient alcohol treatment is focused, scheduled and clinically driven.
In addition to group work, people participate in individual therapy, family counseling and specialized therapeutic sessions. Outside of programming hours, clients work on recovery assignments, attend meetings and begin rebuilding their professional and personal lives.
What to Expect During Outpatient Rehab
Once admitted into South Shore, you will complete a detailed clinical assessment. This is not paperwork for formality’s sake. It allows our team to understand your substance use history, mental health background, medical needs and relapse patterns. From there, we create an outpatient addiction treatment plan with specific goals and milestones.
Withdrawal Support
While we are not a hospital, we do provide medical oversight. Our addiction medicine physician and clinical team monitor withdrawal symptoms and intervene when needed to maintain safety and comfort. Early stabilization reduces the risk of immediate relapse.
Individual Therapy
Each person participates in weekly one-on-one sessions with a licensed counselor. This is where deeper work happens. We address the behavioral drivers of addiction, emotional triggers and unresolved patterns that fuel substance use.
This is not surface-level conversation. It is targeted clinical work designed to produce measurable change.
Group Therapy
Clients attend structured group sessions multiple times per week. Group therapy provides accountability, shared insight and real-time feedback from peers navigating similar challenges.
South Shore incorporates process groups, experiential therapies, creative modalities and structured recovery education.
Family Therapy
Addiction rarely impacts one person alone. In select cases, we can accommodate family members on-site to create a focused therapeutic setting. Repairing family dynamics strengthens long-term recovery and reduces relapse triggers rooted in unresolved conflict.
