Fentanyl has changed the opioid crisis across Massachusetts, including South Shore communities like Braintree, Quincy, Weymouth, and the Greater Boston area. Because it can appear in heroin, counterfeit pills, stimulants, and other substances, people may be exposed without realizing it.
But fentanyl addiction is treatable. With the right clinical support, people can stabilize, begin healing, rebuild relationships, and move toward recovery one step at a time.
Fentanyl dependence can develop quickly, and it doesn’t always look the way people expect. High-functioning individuals — executives, parents, healthcare workers, students — may mask the signs for months. Whether you’re assessing your own situation or concerned about someone you love, these are patterns worth paying attention to.
Physical signs:
Behavioral and relational signs:
If several of these resonate — for yourself or someone you care about — you don’t need to wait until things get worse to reach out. Our admissions team answers real questions without pressure. Earlier support means more options and better outcomes.
There is no single path through fentanyl addiction, which is why our treatment doesn’t follow a single script. We build individualized plans that reflect what is actually going on for each person — including what led them here, what they’ve tried before, and what their life outside our walls requires of them.
For fentanyl and opioid use disorders, Medication-Assisted Treatment (MAT) is often a critical component of stabilization and early recovery. Trinity offers MAT including Suboxone (buprenorphine/naloxone), which reduces withdrawal symptoms, lowers cravings, and has strong evidence supporting long-term recovery outcomes. We also support clients who arrive already on methadone maintenance — we do not prescribe methadone at our facility, but we integrate with existing providers to ensure continuity of care.
We treat MAT as medicine — not a shortcut, not a lesser form of recovery. It is one clinical tool among many, used thoughtfully and in combination with therapy, trauma work, and life skills development.
Our full day treatment program provides the highest level of structured outpatient care Monday through Friday, from 9:00 AM to 3:30 PM. It can be a good fit for people stepping down from a higher level of care or for those who need intensive daily structure while working through fentanyl addiction.
Day treatment allows you to do meaningful, intensive clinical work while staying connected to home, family, and community — something that matters deeply for long-term recovery. Wondering if day treatment is the right fit? Our resource center article What Is Day Treatment? walks through what to expect.
Our half day treatment program meets multiple days per week for a half-day schedule of group therapy, individual sessions, and skills work. It is appropriate as a step-down from day treatment, or as a primary level of care for individuals who are medically stable and able to maintain a safe environment during hours outside of treatment. It’s also designed with flexibility in mind — including evening availability for people managing work or school commitments alongside recovery.
Fentanyl use disorders rarely exist in a vacuum. Trauma — whether from childhood, adult experience, or chronic emotional pain — is one of the most common underlying drivers of opioid misuse. All of Trinity’s clinical staff are trauma-certified, which means trauma-informed care is embedded in every interaction, not just specific therapy sessions.
Recovery that doesn’t address the underlying drivers doesn’t tend to stick. We’re built for the whole person.
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR therapy) is an evidence-based approach specifically designed to process traumatic memories that continue to drive distress and, in many cases, substance use. Trinity’s clinical staff are EMDR-certified — this is a core part of our clinical model, not an occasional offering. For individuals whose fentanyl use is intertwined with traumatic experiences, EMDR can reach things that traditional talk therapy sometimes cannot.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) are foundational to our addiction treatment model. CBT helps identify and change the thought patterns and behaviors that sustain use. DBT builds the emotional regulation and distress tolerance skills that make it possible to stay in recovery when things get hard. Both are delivered in individual and group formats throughout our program.
Co-occurring mental health conditions — depression, anxiety, PTSD, borderline personality disorder — are the rule with fentanyl addiction, not the exception. Each condition influences the other, and treating one in isolation typically leaves the other unaddressed. Trinity’s dual diagnosis treatment model addresses both simultaneously in a single, coordinated program.
All clients are admitted under a primary diagnosis, and the full clinical picture is addressed throughout treatment. If you’re coming in primarily for fentanyl use but know there’s more going on beneath it — anxiety that never fully quieted, trauma that you’ve never fully processed, depression that’s always been in the background — our day treatment for dual diagnosis program is designed precisely for that.
Courtney Flood, Trinity’s co-founder and Director of Operations, has eight years of personal recovery alongside more than a decade in behavioral health leadership. She left a high-level executive director role overseeing multiple treatment facilities because she believed it was possible to do this work with more integrity, more clinical attention, and more genuine care for the people coming through the door. That founding ethos shapes everything here.
Trinity Wellness Group earned Joint Commission accreditation in spring 2026. This is among the most rigorous quality standards in behavioral health. For clients and families, it is a meaningful signal that the care you receive here meets an independently evaluated standard.
We are intentionally boutique. Our clinical team knows their clients by name, by history, by what matters. You’re not a census number moving through a production line. The smaller size means more individual clinical attention, more flexibility to adjust your plan as you progress, and a genuinely different relational quality than you’ll find at high-volume facilities.
We offer evening availability and flexible scheduling — including a technology policy that allows professionals to stay connected to their work during treatment. This matters for the executives, working parents, and students we serve across Greater Boston.
Our facility is located in Braintree, Massachusetts, accessible from Boston, Quincy, Milton, Weymouth, Randolph, and surrounding South Shore communities. Transportation assistance is available within 50 miles. A virtual component is also available for certain stages of treatment, extending our reach across the state.
You can also explore our facilities and amenities to get a better sense of the environment before you arrive.
Treatment doesn’t end at discharge. Long-term recovery from fentanyl addiction requires ongoing support, accountability, and a plan for the moments when things get hard. Trinity builds aftercare and case management into treatment from the beginning, not as an afterthought. This includes continued counseling, alumni programming, peer recovery coaching, relapse prevention planning, and coordination with outpatient services or sober living arrangements as needed.
The goal is not just to help you leave treatment — it’s to help you build a life you want to stay in.
If you or someone you love is dealing with fentanyl use, reaching out is the most important step you can take. You don’t have to have everything figured out to make the first call. Our admissions team will listen, ask the right questions, and help you understand what the next step looks like — without pressure.

Yes. Fentanyl is a synthetic opioid, and our opioid addiction treatment program is designed to address the full spectrum of opioid use disorders, including fentanyl dependency.
The medical complexity around fentanyl — its potency, tolerance effects, and withdrawal profile — is something our clinical and medical teams are equipped to work with.
It depends on where you are right now. If fentanyl is still active in your system and you’re experiencing withdrawal symptoms, medical detox is a necessary first step before entering our day treatment programming.
Trinity doesn’t offer on-site detox, but we maintain relationships with trusted detox partners in Massachusetts and coordinate direct transitions into our program. Many clients come to us straight from a detox facility
Yes. We support Medication-Assisted Treatment including Suboxone throughout our programs. MAT is a clinical tool with strong evidence behind it for fentanyl and opioid recovery.
Our medical team evaluates each person individually and provides oversight for the duration of treatment.
Length of stay varies significantly based on the individual. In day treatment, many clients stay 30 to 60 days; in half day treatment, the range is broader.
Some clients stay longer — because real recovery has its own timeline. The goal isn’t to reach a discharge date. It’s to leave with stability and a solid aftercare plan.
Most private insurance plans include coverage for opioid use disorder treatment, which includes fentanyl. The specifics — copay, deductible, number of covered days — vary by plan.
Our admissions team will run a benefits verification before you make any decisions, so you understand your coverage clearly.

I am a patient with Trinity Wellness for substance use disorder treatment, and I recommend them highly.
What stands out about Trinity Wellness is their genuine care about patients and their clear commitment to put patients, not profit, first. They offer the most flexible programs I have come across in their field, and they truly work to meet each patient where they are in life.
It’s too rare to find a place like this where truly good people are striving to just do good work for the people they serve, and doing so without compromise.
If you are looking for intensive outpatient or long term maintenance treatment for substance use disorder, I recommend you look to Trinity Wellness first.
(I am a real person using a pen name here for privacy given that I am not yet ready to share publicly my struggles with substance use disorder.)

Needed people to understand and not judge me when I was at my lowest. The Therapeutic compassionate approach speaks for itself as i needed to regain confidence to stand on my own two feet again.
