Substance use has stressed every Boston neighborhood, and Jamaica Plain is no exception. After surging earlier in the decade, opioid-related deaths across the city fell by 38 percent in 2024, reflecting both progress and ongoing urgency. Statewide, Massachusetts recorded a 10 percent decline in 2023—its largest single-year drop in two decades. Yet Boston still reports an age-adjusted overdose death rate (37.4 per 100 000) well above the national median.
Behind every statistic is a person whose future can change with timely, evidence-based care. Our goal is to make high-quality treatment reachable—geographically, financially, and emotionally—for individuals and families in Jamaica Plain.
We offer three levels of outpatient treatment so you can enter recovery at the intensity that fits your clinical needs and daily life.
Think of Day Treatment as the engine room of outpatient recovery: five to six days per week, six hours per day, combining medical oversight with deep therapeutic work. During this program you will:
For Jamaica Plain commuters, our late-evening transportation and optional sober-living residence eliminate daily travel stress, allowing you to focus on healing.
When you want more structure but have work or school commitments to keep, our Partial Day Treatment Program (around 10–12 hours per week) offers:
Recovery is a long game. Our step-down outpatient track includes weekly therapy, clinical check-ins, and a robust Alumni Program featuring monthly beach meetings, community service, and sober social events. These touchpoints reinforce skills and provide a safety net long after formal treatment ends.
Dual Diagnosis Care – Recent Nationwide surveys show 21.5 million U.S. adults live with both a substance use disorder and a mental illness. Untreated anxiety, depression, or PTSD can quietly sabotage your sobriety. That’s why our clinicians evaluate mental-health needs from day one and deliver integrated therapy.
Medication-Assisted Treatment (MAT) – For opioid or alcohol dependence, medications like buprenorphine or naltrexone both cut cravings and lower overdose risk. In 2023 a published NIDA study found that starting buprenorphine over telehealth increased 90-day treatment retention which is a key predictor of long-term recovery, without raising the overdose risk. We combine MAT with counseling and lifestyle coaching, ensuring medication is one piece of a holistic puzzle, never a standalone fix.
Recovery flourishes in diverse soil. Alongside evidence-based psychotherapies, you might explore:
Every Friday, treatment steps outside four walls—beach bonfires in summer, indoor rock climbing when winter bites. Shared challenge and laughter cement neural pathways that associate sobriety with joy, not deprivation.
We partner with Boston-area recovery meetings and civic events so you return to Jamaica Plain with ready-made support. Alumni often mentor newcomers, demonstrating that thriving in sobriety is not only possible—it’s contagious.
