What Is Telehealth Treatment?

Telehealth treatment makes addiction and mental health care accessible from anywhere in Massachusetts. Through secure, HIPAA-compliant video sessions, you can attend therapy, meet with psychiatric providers, and receive ongoing recovery support — all from your phone, tablet, or computer.

It’s the same quality care you’d receive in person at Waterside Recovery, reimagined for convenience, privacy, and flexibility.

How Telehealth Works

Our virtual treatment model mirrors our in-person programs, combining structure, accountability, and compassionate connection:

  • Individual Therapy: Meet one-on-one with a licensed therapist to explore triggers, emotions, and goals.
  • Group Therapy: Join small, therapist-led groups that build community and recovery skills.
  • Medication Management: Meet virtually with psychiatric providers who monitor medications and mental health symptoms.
  • Family & Support Sessions: Involve loved ones in recovery through online family therapy or education meetings.
  • Aftercare & Case Management: Stay connected with your care team through ongoing check-ins and relapse-prevention planning.

Everything happens through an encrypted platform — easy to use, private, and secure.

Who Telehealth Treatment Helps

Telehealth isn’t one-size-fits-all — it’s for real people in real-world situations who need help that fits their life.

It may be right for you if you:

  • Need flexible scheduling around work, school, or childcare
  • Live outside commuting distance from Plymouth or prefer privacy at home
  • Want to continue care after completing an in-person program
  • Are managing a dual diagnosis and need ongoing therapeutic and medical support
  • Struggle with transportation or mobility barriers

You don’t have to choose between recovery and the rest of your life. Telehealth lets you keep both.

Benefits of Telehealth Care

  • Access: Connect with licensed clinicians anywhere in Massachusetts.
  • Consistency: Maintain therapy and accountability even on difficult days.
  • Privacy: Receive care discreetly in your own space.
  • Continuity: Transition smoothly from in-person to virtual sessions.
  • Comfort: Build recovery tools where you live, not just where you visit.

“Recovery happens in everyday life — telehealth brings your care team right into it.”
