Jeff Chasen
Chief Operating Officer
Caring, compassionate, dedicated and driven. These are the most visible qualities when watching how one of our Executives, Jeff Chasen, interacts with prospective clients on arguably one of the toughest days of their lives; the day they ask for help. Jeff has been at the helm of several successful treatment centers’ Admission Department’s and Business Development efforts throughout his career. Being on the team at Refresh is Jeff’s most meaningful project yet because our center is located in the South Shore of Massachusetts which is the area he grew up in. “If I could help one person or family that I grew up with, after all I’ve done and put my own family through before finding recovery, that would really make me feel like I’ve come full circle. It’s exciting to think about!”In his spare time you can catch Jeff on adventures with his 5 year old son, in the gym hitting new fitness goals or out creating digital content for his social media audiences!

Our Treatment Programs: Your Path to Lasting Recovery with Refresh Recovery & Wellness
Our Full-Day Treatment Program (FDT) takes place Monday through Friday from 9 am to 3 pm. This program is optimal for someone who has just completed medical detox or an inpatient program or who is looking for a greater level of support in their daily recovery and values following the recommended continuum of care.
We have three levels of Half-Day Treatment Programs that offer each client the flexibility to work through a process that meets their needs while also working around their schedule. After comprehensive evaluations, you will participate in the program that offers the appropriate level of support based on the severity of your disorder and any potential underlying mental health conditions.
Co-Occurring disorders are characterized by the presence of mental health concerns alongside a Substance or Alcohol Use Disorder. For these clients, it’s essential to treat the whole patient, mind, body, and soul, in order to prevent intensifying harmful behaviors or serious health conditions. While one condition doesn’t necessarily cause the other, they have led to more severe symptoms.
Medication Management is an evidence-based and collaborative approach to managing physical dependence symptoms and underlying mental health concerns while attending recovery treatment. This treatment includes monitoring medication dosage, tracking client progress, and making adjustments as needed.
At Refresh Recovery, we are aware of numerous detox centers in Massachusetts to ensure you are safely, medically detoxed prior to entering treatment. Detox is the first step towards a long-lasting life of recovery, and our detox placement service will help you get placed in a premier detox. After detox, patients typically transfer to the Refresh Recovery program.
