Branches Outpatient for Adults with Substance Use Disorder (SUD)

Whether transitioning from an inpatient stay or needing specialized treatment while still at home, work or in the community, we offer multiple levels of care to meet individual needs and goals. Our programs are designed for individuals aged 18 and older who may need improved functioning with substance use (SUD) challenges. Families are often essential to the patient’s treatment success and thus may be involved from the initial assessment to treatment planning and discharge.

Our specialty-trained professionals offer services that may include medication management, psychiatric care, therapies, case management and recovery coaching. Treatment may cover topics such as coping skills, stress management, personal safety and relapse prevention, and may include elements of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and/or Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT). All substance use programs and services are available only at our Branches Jamaica Plain location.

Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP)

PHP is an intensive, highly structured day treatment program that promotes healthy skill development through evidence-based group therapies. This program offers full-day treatment and support for the patient in a community setting. PHP requires in-person attendance, five days each week, Monday through Friday from 9 am to 3 pm, for two to three weeks for most patients. Lunch and snacks are provided.

Structured Outpatient Addiction Program (SOAP)

SOAP is a highly structured treatment program that is slightly less intensive than PHP and similar to IOP, but an increased intensity than traditional outpatient services. This program uses evidence-based group therapies to offer part-time treatment and support in a community setting. SOAP requires three days of attendance each week for approximately three hours each day, for two to three weeks for most patients. Days and times may vary – please ask for current availability or check our online scheduling.

Traditional Outpatient Services

We offer individual, group, couples and family psychotherapy/counseling and medication management, as well as Suboxone treatment for adults. Availability and waitlists may vary for these services and current patients stepping down from other Arbour Hospital and Branches services may get priority over patients referred from the community for only these services.

Recovery Coaches

Our recovery coaches are available to individuals in substance use recovery navigating the challenges of building and navigating sobriety. These highly trained staff often have personal experiences with recovery and can offer assistance with goal setting, accountability, encouragement, connecting with supportive peers, overcoming barriers and finding additional resources for recovery services, housing and job-centers. Our recovery coaches are here to help individuals stay on the path to recovery.
