We're Minutes from Wakefield.

Shine Wellness & Recovery is located in Saugus, Massachusetts approximately 10 minutes from Wakefield. For Wakefield residents looking for outpatient addiction treatment, we are one of the closest licensed programs available, with same-day assessments and flexible scheduling.

Wakefield is a welcoming suburban community just north of Saugus on the edge of the North Shore and greater Middlesex County. Like communities across Massachusetts, Wakefield has felt the impact of the opioid crisis and like those communities, it is home to people who are ready to get better when the right support is close enough to reach.

At Shine, we are that support minutes away, most insurance accepted, and available 24/7 for Wakefield residents and their families.

Substances & Conditions

We treat the substances driving the addiction crisis across Wakefield and the North Shore, with dignity and clinical rigor.

Also treating co-occurring anxiety, depression, and trauma alongside substance use.

How Outpatient Treatment Works for Wakefield Residents

Outpatient treatment lets you get real clinical care without leaving home, work, or family behind. Most people from Wakefield start with a short phone call. We ask a few questions about what you are using, how long it has been going on, what has helped before, and what has not. That call usually takes ten to fifteen minutes. There is no cost and no obligation.

From there, a licensed clinician completes a full assessment and recommends a level of care. Partial Hospitalization (PHP) is the most structured option, with programming most of the day, several days a week. Intensive Outpatient (IOP) meets fewer hours per week so you can keep working or caring for your family. Medication-Assisted Treatment (MAT) pairs FDA-approved medication with counseling for opioid and alcohol use disorder. Many Wakefield clients step down through more than one level over time.

Your plan is built around you. Groups cover relapse prevention, coping skills, and healthy routines. Individual sessions use proven approaches like CBT, DBT, and motivational interviewing. Holistic programming supports sleep, nutrition, and stress. If you also live with anxiety, depression, or trauma, we treat that at the same time, because treating only one side rarely holds.

Cost is the first worry for most families. We verify your benefits before you commit to anything and explain in plain language what your plan covers. We accept most major commercial insurance. If we are not the right fit, we will say so and help you find a program that is.

Family support matters too. Addiction affects everyone in the house, so we offer guidance for parents, partners, and adult children who want to help without losing themselves. Whether you are calling for yourself or for someone you love in Wakefield, the first step is the same: one conversation, at your pace, with someone who has heard it all before and will not judge you for any of it.
