24/7 Monitoring
24/7 physician monitoring to prevent seizures and medical complications
Comfort Medications
Comfort medications to reduce withdrawal symptoms (nausea, anxiety, pain)
Proven Safety
95% safer than attempting to detox at home alone
Ongoing Support
Connection to ongoing treatment after detox (rehab, therapy, support)
Real Stories from Real People
People Who Started Exactly Where You Are Now
This might be the nicest detox I've ever been to. It truly promotes healing through fantastic clinical groups, while providing a safe space for patients to build camaraderie with others. They also schedule group activities for clients every day, which might be the nicest thing ever. Overall I'd recommend this place to anyone looking for a smaller, but fantastic place to get sober/detox.

My journey at Retreat of Boston was absolutely incredible. When I got here and when I left was a complete 180. Shoutout to Chloe! She's a great therapist and helped me with a lot of underlying concerns I had with myself. Clive my case manager was exceptional as well. Overall I had an amazing experience here and I would completely recommend for anyone who is struggling with addiction or would like to help a family member or friend seek treatment. This is a place that definitely helps change lives!

Very clean facility. They take care of the addiction detox part but also dig into the mental health aspect of the addiction as well. 10/10 would recommend. Big shout out to Sophie and Jesse, super cool and personable staff members that make the place more enjoyable.

The level of comfort experienced at Retreat of Boston is absolutely second to none. There's no place I'd rather send a loved one to get the help they need. I had a great experience working with Bobby. I was stressed out and he took the load off my shoulders and I can't thank him enough.

Frequently Asked Questions
Everything You Might Be Wondering
No. Addiction is a medical condition, not a moral failure. Everyone you meet here—from admissions to nursing to clinical staff—knows that. Many of our team members are in recovery themselves or have loved ones who've struggled. Our job is to keep you safe, supported, and informed—not to shame or criticize you.
If you're asking this question, it's worth talking to a medical professional. Substances like alcohol, opioids, and benzodiazepines can be dangerous to stop suddenly on your own. Our board-certified physicians can review your situation and offer honest guidance. If you don't need detox, we'll tell you that. If you do, we'll explain why and what it would look like—without pressure.
You're in control of your decisions. Calling us does not commit you to treatment. Coming to the facility doesn't mean you're forced to stay. We strongly encourage completing detox when it's medically recommended, but you keep your rights as a patient at all times. Our role is to provide safety, clarity, and support—not to take choices away from you.
Medical detox under physician supervision is the safest way to stop using substances that can cause dangerous withdrawals. At Retreat of Boston, board-certified doctors and nurses monitor you around the clock, use medications to manage symptoms, and act quickly if anything changes. Your safety is our first priority.
Yes. Your information is protected by HIPAA and other privacy laws. Your call, assessment, and stay with us are all handled confidentially. We do not share your information with employers, family members, or anyone else without your consent, except when required by law for your safety.
That's okay. Many people reach out just to gather information or talk through their options. You're welcome to call us today, tomorrow, or later. We'll listen, answer questions, and give honest feedback—without pushing you into a decision before you're ready.
You're Here. That Took Courage.
You don't have to figure this out alone—our team is here to listen and help you decide what's right for you.
