Peer-Led Residential Living in Millbury

Rhodes to Recovery is a women-only, short-term social model residential program. The setting is built around peer-oriented communal living, where residents share daily responsibilities and support one another in a structured home environment. The program’s focus on community and self-sufficiency may be a fit for women who want recovery support that feels practical and relationship-driven, rather than highly clinical.

Counseling That Addresses Substance Use and Trauma

Residents receive substance use disorder counseling in both individual and group formats. Clinical approaches include motivational interviewing, relapse prevention, anger management, brief interventions, trauma-related counseling, and 12-step facilitation. The program also supports clients with co-occurring mental health and substance use disorders. For clients who use medications for addiction treatment (MAT), Rhodes to Recovery accepts those medications when they are prescribed by an external provider, helping clients maintain continuity of care.

Practical Support for Stability and Independence

A key differentiator is the program’s emphasis on real-life stability alongside counseling. Case management and advocacy can help residents access social services and community resources. The program also offers skills development, education support, vocational training, and employment support — useful for clients working to rebuild routines, financial stability, and next steps after treatment. Transportation assistance may be available, which can reduce barriers to appointments and essential services while in residential care.

Step-Down Planning and Ongoing Recovery Supports

Rhodes to Recovery provides discharge planning and aftercare or continuing care to support the transition out of residential treatment. Recovery support includes relapse prevention planning, peer mentoring, self-help groups, and recovery coaching. When appropriate, the program also connects residents to transitional housing support, helping them move into a more stable living environment as they continue recovery.

Trust Score

A simple A–E grade that offers a quick view of how much confidence you might place in a facility. It’s not a guarantee of quality or outcomes, but a data-informed tool to help guide your search. More on our methodology.

Commission on Accreditation of Rehabilitation Facilities

CARF reviews rehab programs to make sure they provide respectful, effective, and personalized care. For addiction treatment, CARF uses standards developed with the American Society of Addiction Medicine (ASAM), so this accreditation shows the program follows trusted, evidence-based guidelines for treating substance use.

How we research treatment facilities

Across the site, our team has conducted over 1,000 pre-admissions calls to better understand the patient experience, interviewed facility clinical leaders, performed facility background checks, and compared our information against trusted public data sources.

Our research process begins with data from the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA), accrediting bodies including The Joint Commission and CARF, government licensing agencies, and other trusted sources. From there, our team conducts significant original research, including:

- Pre-admissions calls: We speak with admissions staff to get a candid picture of patient experience.

- Background checks: We review complaints from past clients, media reports, actions taken by accrediting bodies, and positive recognition from notable organizations.

- Clinical interviews: We have in-depth conversations with clinical leadership, often lasting up to one hour, that give us a better understanding of clinical care.

- Data partnerships: We ingest and analyze exclusive data that provides information about in-network insurance status, cost, and more.

Research varies by facility. Each facility profile shows which research steps we completed and when each step was last performed. Learn more about our research process and background checks.

How we evaluate treatment facilities

These data help us develop a Trust Score for each facility—a simple letter grade that helps you assess how much confidence to place in a facility based on the information available to us. Trust Score considers accreditation, operating history, notable recognition, and concerns identified during our background check. Our Trust Score is an objective rating that is never influenced by advertiser payment. Learn more about our Trust Score methodology.

Important disclaimer

We cannot guarantee the quality of treatment at any facility. We cannot independently confirm the accuracy of every data point, and some information may become outdated or change over time. A Trust Score is a starting point, not a guarantee of treatment quality or outcomes. Please contact us if you would like to update or correct facility information.
