Adult Partial Hospital
Starting November 5, 2025, our hybrid track is expanding to offer in-person program four days a week—Mondays through Thursdays—with virtual groups held on Fridays. For those who prefer remote participation, we also provide a fully virtual track. All virtual sessions take place on a secure, confidential platform.
For more information, please contact nsmcadultphp@partners.org.
For patients 18 years and older
Our program offers intensive support five days a week for individuals who need more structure and clinical care than a traditional outpatient setting, including treatment for psychiatric conditions and co-occurring substance use concerns. We offer both virtual and hybrid options for care.
To help you get the most benefit from treatment, our program maintains a therapeutic environment that supports sobriety. Abstaining from alcohol and substances allows for safe medication management and helps you fully engage in treatment.
We are part of Mass General Brigham and work closely with Massachusetts General Hospital, McLean Hospital, and Brigham and Women’s Hospital.
