Group Therapy & Recovery Programs in Massachusetts
HM Behavioral Health offers therapeutic groups and structured recovery programs for adults and families throughout Massachusetts. Groups are offered in person at our Buzzards Bay office and virtually, depending on the scheduled cohort.
Our groups focus on addiction and recovery, problem gambling, relationships, identity, family recovery, and building meaningful connection with others who understand similar experiences.
Groups combine clinical support with practical tools, reflection, skill-building, and connection that can complement individual therapy and other recovery supports.
In-person groups are available in Buzzards Bay for participants across Cape Cod, Plymouth County, and surrounding Southeastern Massachusetts communities, while virtual groups allow eligible participants to join from anywhere in Massachusetts.

The Family Recovery Roadmap™
The Family Recovery Roadmap™ is an eight-week clinician-led group for parents, spouses, partners, siblings, grandparents, adult children, and other loved ones impacted by addiction or substance use.
The group helps participants better understand addiction and recovery while also addressing the emotional and relational impact substance use can have on the family. Sessions combine psychoeducation, guided discussion, reflection, practical skills, and therapeutic application.
What We’ll Work On
Over eight weeks, participants will explore:
-
Understanding addiction and recovery
-
Family roles and patterns
-
Healthy boundaries
-
Supporting recovery without enabling
-
Communication and conflict
-
Rebuilding trust
-
Navigating relapse and relapse concerns
-
Coping with stress, fear, guilt, and uncertainty

Caring for yourself while loving someone affected by addiction
Your loved one does not need to be in treatment or actively participating in recovery for you to seek support.

Gambling Recovery Collective™
The Gambling Recovery Collective is an eight-week therapeutic group for adults struggling with problem gambling or gambling addiction, as well as adults working to rebuild their lives after gambling-related harm.
Gambling problems can affect much more than finances. Relationships, trust, mental health, employment, and a person's sense of control can all be impacted. Secrecy, chasing losses, financial stress, shame, urges, and the belief that one more win could fix everything can create a cycle that becomes increasingly difficult to interrupt.
This group goes beyond simply telling someone to stop gambling. Participants work to better understand their individual gambling patterns, identify triggers and high-risk situations, manage urges, challenge gambling-related thinking, address financial harm, rebuild accountability and trust, and develop healthier ways of managing emotions and stress.
We also focus on what comes next. When gambling has consumed significant time, energy, money, or emotional space, stopping can leave a major void. Recovery also involves building something meaningful in its place.
What We’ll Work On
Over eight weeks, participants explore:
-
Understanding the gambling cycle
-
Triggers and high-risk situations
-
Managing gambling urges
-
Chasing losses and gambling-related thinking
-
Secrecy, shame, and accountability
-
Financial harm and repair
-
Relationships and rebuilding trust
-
Emotional regulation and healthier coping
-
Values and identity outside of gambling
-
Individualized relapse prevention
The program incorporates evidence-based approaches including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Motivational Interviewing (MI), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), emotion-regulation skills, and relapse-prevention strategies.
Format, Insurance & Self-Pay

The Women's Recovery Collective™
Recovery is about more than stopping a behavior. It’s also about figuring out who you are without it.
The Women’s Recovery Collective is an eight-week therapeutic recovery group for adult women who want to go deeper in their recovery and work on the emotional, relational, and identity-related pieces that often remain after the initial work of getting sober has begun.
Recovery can bring stability while also uncovering a different set of questions. Who am I now? Why do I keep falling into the same relationship patterns? Why is it so difficult to set boundaries? Why do I still struggle with guilt, shame, disconnection, or asking for help? What does a meaningful life actually look like outside of survival?
The group creates a space to explore those questions alongside other women who understand that recovery involves more than abstinence. Participants work on identity, relationships, boundaries, self-worth, protective patterns, vulnerability, receiving support, and creating a life that feels sustainable and meaningful in recovery.
The Women’s Recovery Collective is not a traditional recovery meeting or lecture-based class. It is a structured therapeutic group combining clinical discussion, reflection, practical exercises, skill-building, and connection.
What We’ll Work On
Over eight weeks, participants explore:
-
Safety, trust, and belonging
-
Identity beyond addiction and survival
-
Relationships and recurring patterns
-
Responsibility without shame
-
Boundaries and communication
-
Self-worth and self-compassion
-
Protective patterns and vulnerability
-
Asking for and receiving support
-
Hope and meaningful connection
-
Moving forward with intention
-
Building a sustainable life in recovery

Men’s Recovery Collective™
Recovery happens in connection.
The Men’s Recovery Collective is an eight-week therapeutic recovery program for adult men who want to strengthen their recovery, better understand themselves, and build more honest and meaningful connections with others.
The program combines weekly 90-minute group therapy with weekly individual therapy, creating two distinct therapeutic spaces that work together. Individual therapy provides a place to focus on personal goals, challenges, relationships, and patterns. The group provides something individual therapy cannot: the opportunity to notice and work through those patterns as they happen in relationships with other people.
The Men’s Recovery Collective is not a traditional recovery meeting or lecture-based group. It uses an interpersonal process approach that allows members to learn not only through discussion, but through feedback, reflection, and the relationships that develop within the group.
The group is a closed cohort, meaning the same members move through the eight-week program together. This creates greater consistency and allows trust, connection, and meaningful group work to develop over time.
What We’ll Work On
Throughout the eight weeks, members have opportunities to explore:
-
Recovery and personal accountability
-
Identity and life beyond substance use
-
Relationships and communication
-
Trust and vulnerability
-
Emotional awareness
-
Asking for and accepting support
-
Conflict and discomfort
-
Isolation and connection
-
Patterns that may contribute to relapse
-
Self-understanding and receiving feedback
-
Building a meaningful and sustainable life in recovery
The goal is not simply to talk about these areas. Group therapy creates an opportunity to notice how these patterns actually show up with other people and begin practicing different ways of responding.
Group + Individual Therapy
One of the defining features of the Men’s Recovery Collective is the combination of group and individual therapy throughout the eight weeks.
Something that happens during group may become important to explore more deeply during an individual session. An insight from individual therapy may become something a member wants to practice differently when he returns to the group.
The two therapeutic spaces serve different purposes while reinforcing one another throughout the program, creating a more connected therapeutic process.
Each participant also receives Collective Reflections, a companion created specifically for the Men’s Recovery Collective. Brief reflections help members notice what stood out during the week, identify patterns and insights, and connect the work happening in group with their individual therapy.
Who Is the Men’s Recovery Collective For?
The Men’s Recovery Collective is designed for adult men in recovery from alcohol or substance use who are ready to actively participate in therapy and continue building a meaningful life in recovery.
You do not need to be comfortable with group therapy before starting, and you do not need to be someone who naturally opens up in groups. You do need to be willing to show up, remain curious, participate honestly, and allow yourself to be part of the process.
Prospective members complete a brief individual consultation before joining a cohort to discuss the program, ask questions, and determine whether the group is an appropriate fit.
