Individual Therapy for Addiction in Massachusetts
At Refresh Recovery Center, individual therapy pairs you with a licensed clinician in a private setting. You’ll address substance use and mental health challenges while building skills for lasting recovery. Sessions are structured and tailored to your goals.
What Is Individual Therapy?
Individual therapy is a private meeting with a licensed clinician to address substance use and mental health challenges. You’ll work through triggers, cravings, and emotional stress while building healthy coping habits.
At Refresh, these sessions align with your individualized treatment plan and complement group therapy, family counseling, medication management, and holistic care.

Individual vs. Group Therapy
Both formats are valuable in recovery, and most clients benefit from a combination. Individual therapy focuses entirely on your goals and challenges, while group therapy builds peer support and shared skills.
