Where You Are

Located 30 minutes from Boston in a peaceful setting, our program provides structured support and evidence-based treatment that fits your schedule. Our expert team combines clinical excellence with unconditional support to help you start over and create the future you want to live.
What is an Outpatient Program?
Outpatient treatment provides structured therapeutic support while allowing you to live at home and maintain your daily responsibilities. This level of care offers more flexibility than residential treatment, where you stay on-site at a facility 24/7.
Outpatient care works well for:
- People in early recovery who don’t require around-the-clock supervision
- People stepping down from more intensive treatment programs
- People who need consistent clinical support while maintaining work, school, or family responsibilities
At Engage Wellness, outpatient treatment includes a minimum of one hour of group therapy weekly, plus individual therapy and medical support tailored to your needs. You’ll build recovery skills in session—and practice them in your everyday environment, with ongoing clinical guidance.
What to expect from Engage Wellness Outpatient:
- Personalized treatment planning
- One-on-one therapy, group sessions, and psychiatric care (as clinically appropriate)
- Scheduling options that make consistent care realistic
- Small groups (typically 10–12 people) so you get meaningful support and attention
Who Outpatient Treatment Is a Good Fit For
Outpatient treatment may be a strong fit if you:
- Want structured support while continuing to live at home
- Are able to attend sessions consistently and apply skills between sessions
- Are looking for a step-down option after PHP (Day Treatment) or IOP
- Need a plan that supports recovery without requiring 24/7 supervision

Core Components of the
Outpatient Program
We combine evidence-based therapies with practical life skills training while providing flexible scheduling that works with your daily life. Our experienced team of therapists, nurses, psychiatrists, and mental health professionals creates personalized treatment plans that support lasting recovery.
The Benefits of Outpatient Care
Outpatient treatment can be an ideal stepping stone between intensive care and independent living—supporting growth while you continue daily life.
With outpatient care, you can:
- Maintain employment, school, and family obligations while receiving treatment
- Practice recovery skills in real-world situations while staying connected to clinical support
- Build resilience through consistent therapy and peer connection
- Learn to identify triggers, strengthen coping strategies, and stay focused on recovery goals
At Engage Wellness, we pair evidence-based approaches with authentic compassion. Our goal is practical: help you build tools you can use immediately—so progress continues long after treatment ends.
Outpatient vs Inpatient/Residential: What’s the Difference?
Residential/inpatient treatment typically means staying on-site with 24/7 structure and supervision. Outpatient treatment allows you to live at home and attend scheduled sessions for therapy and clinical support.
Outpatient may be appropriate when you:
- Don’t require round-the-clock monitoring
- Have a living environment that supports recovery (or a plan to strengthen support)
- Need flexible treatment while balancing real-life responsibilities
- Can commit to consistent attendance and participation
If you need a more intensive level of care, our team can help coordinate the transition and connect you with appropriate options—then support your step-down back into outpatient care when you’re ready.
Outpatient vs IOP vs PHP: Which Level Fits?
a simple overview:
- PHP (Day Treatment): Most structured outpatient level; more treatment time per week
- Intensive Outpatient (IOP): More structure than standard outpatient; multiple sessions per week
- Outpatient (OP): Most flexible; lower weekly time commitment with ongoing clinical support
Quick comparison (general guide)
|
Level of Care |
Structure |
Often a fit when… |
|
PHP / Day Treatment |
Highest outpatient structure |
You need significant support without 24/7 residential care |
|
IOP |
Medium-high structure |
You need more than weekly sessions but can live at home |
|
OP |
Flexible / maintenance |
You need ongoing support while returning to everyday routines |
During your assessment, we’ll recommend the level that matches your needs—not a one-size-fits-all label.
How Long Does Outpatient Treatment Last?
Outpatient treatment length varies based on your goals, progress, and clinical needs. Some people begin treatment in OP, while others use it as a step-down level after PHP or IOP.
Your plan should evolve as you do. We regularly assess progress and adjust your schedule and supports so your care matches what you need now.
What We Treat
Our comprehensive treatment program addresses a wide range of substance use disorders and mental health conditions. We understand that addiction often occurs alongside other mental health challenges, which is why we provide integrated care that treats the whole person.
Treatment That’s Integrated With Daily Life | Start a New Future Today
Many people experience substance use and mental health challenges at the same time. Our team specializes in treating these needs both individually and as co-occurring concerns—creating treatment plans that reflect your full picture, not just a single diagnosis.
We recognize that everyone’s recovery looks different. Your care plan is built around your symptoms, stressors, goals, and supports—so treatment feels relevant, practical, and sustainable.
