We Treat the Whole You

Evidence-Based Care for Complex Mental Health Conditions

At Relief in Cambridge, our Mental Health Programs addresses a wide range of mental health conditions, including but not limited to:

Depression

More than sadness, depression can make even daily tasks feel impossible. Our programs offer structured support, evidence-based therapies, and a compassionate team to help you feel like yourself again.

Moderate/Severe Anxiety

When anxiety takes over your thoughts, body, and life, you may need more than coping skills. Our team uses CBT, DBT, and holistic strategies to help you regain calm, focus, and control.

PTSD & Trauma

Unresolved trauma can keep you stuck in survival mode. Emerge offers advanced trauma therapies like EMDR and Rapid Resolution Therapy to help you heal, not just cope.

Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder:

OCD is more than habits—it’s intrusive, distressing, and disruptive. Our clinical team helps reduce obsessive patterns and anxiety through tailored therapeutic approaches.

Bipolar Disorder

From mood swings to emotional exhaustion, bipolar disorder requires more than medication alone. We combine structured care and psychiatric oversight to promote balance and long-term stability.

Co-Occurring Disorders

When mental health and substance use happen together, they must be treated together. Our dual-diagnosis program addresses both, offering whole-person healing and a clear path forward.

Healing begins in a safe, welcoming space.

Discover the Right Program for Every Phase of Recovery

Recovery isn’t one-size-fits-all. That’s why Relief in Cambridge offers multiple levels of outpatient care — from full-day structure to flexible sessions — so you can heal at the pace and intensity that fits your life.

Full Day (PHP)

Our most structured program, PHP provides intensive daily support with therapy, counseling, and holistic care — designed for those needing a higher level of treatment while living at home.

IOP (Half Day Program)

The IOP balances strong therapeutic support with flexibility. Ideal for those needing more than standard outpatient care, it combines evidence-based therapies with life-skills training.

Outpatient Program (OP)

A step-down level of care offering vital support while fitting into your daily routine. OP helps you maintain recovery with therapy, relapse prevention, and aftercare planning.

Daytime & Evening Programs

Recovery shouldn’t disrupt your life. With daytime and evening options, you can attend treatment while balancing work, school, or family commitments.

Telehealth Treatment

Our secure, confidential telehealth services bring therapy and support directly to you — making care accessible no matter where you are in Massachusetts.

Need a different level of care? If detox or residential is clinically appropriate, we’ll connect you to trusted providers and help coordinate a smooth transition.

Support Is Just a Call Away

Not sure what you’re dealing with? That’s okay.

Our team is here to help you figure it out and guide you to the right level of care. Call now or verify your insurance in minutes.
