Flexible Half-Day Mental Health Treatment for Adults in the Boston Area

Flexible half-day program meets Monday through Friday, 9 am to 12 pm, allowing you to balance treatment with daily life. We emphasize the value of clinical support and building a positive support system to foster a foundation for long-term healing from substance abuse and mental health disorders.

What is Half-Day Treatment?

Half-day treatment programs are structured, intensive outpatient therapy options designed for those who need significant therapeutic support but cannot commit to a full day of treatment. They typically meet several days a week, for 3 to 4 hours at a time. They can serve as a helpful step down after inpatient care or full-day treatment, to support individuals as they transition back home, or as a step up from conventional outpatient therapy for individuals needing extra structure and support.

Despite clinical hours, half-day programs mirror the clinical excellence found in higher levels of care, offering a blend of individual therapy, group sessions, skill-building workshops, and psychoeducation to address substance use challenges and co-occurring mental health disorders. Individuals can attend treatment sessions in the morning or evenings, depending on what works best with their schedule.

Half-day programs provide unique opportunities for patients to practice implementing skills in real-world settings. This supports sustainable healing and balances treatment with everyday life.

Program Curriculum

Our program’s curriculum has been developed by our clinical director, who holds over 15 years of experience in the field of substance abuse. She has published academic research in neuroscience and has over 10 years of specialized expertise in trauma-informed care. It is structured into a four-week cycle, with each week focusing on distinct therapeutic themes and skills to support ongoing recovery and prevent relapse:

Focus on mindfulness, distress tolerance, and foundational psychoeducation topics, including understanding how mental health challenges drive addiction, co-occurring disorders, common challenges in early sobriety, identifying triggers, and stages of change.

Focus on emotional regulation, interpersonal effectiveness, and the exploration of the importance of community and relationships in sustaining recovery, as well as the ability to start over in the face of lapse and relapse.

Integration of advanced DBT skills, trauma processing, and coping strategies for personality-specific challenges in recovery.

Consolidation and implementation of skills with support from clinicians and recovery coaches with lived experience and preparation for transition to aftercare.
