Nashoba Springs offers certified gambling addiction treatment—a rare specialization that makes us the first facility in Massachusetts with this capability. Our team has completed specialized training to address the unique challenges of gambling disorder, which often co-occurs with substance use.
We hold substance use disorder (SUD) with mental health licensing, allowing us to treat the whole person. Our integrated approach addresses depression, anxiety, PTSD, eating disorders, and other mental health conditions alongside addiction, recognizing that lasting recovery requires treating all co-occurring conditions.
