Steps from the Red Line
Psychiatric Day Treatment* Program Cambridge
Are you struggling with mental health issues and need something that is a step up from traditional therapy? Introducing our outpatient program in Cambridge. Here at Cambridge Mental Health, we offer a patient-focused, science-backed program that gives you the chance to overcome the worst symptoms of your mental health problems, all in a safe, secure, and supportive environment.
What is Psychiatric Day Treatment*?
A psychiatric day treatment* program is a type of intensive therapy that sits somewhere between inpatient care (where the patient stays overnight) and traditional therapy (where the patient sees their therapist once or twice per week).
With psychiatric day treatment*, you typically attend the outpatient therapy center three to five times a week, staying for a few hours at a time. This becomes part of your schedule and still allows you to keep up with any of your other obligations, such as work, school, or home responsibilities. For the brilliant minds of Cambridge, this makes perfect sense.
What Our Psychiatric Day Treatment* Program Can Treat
An outpatient program can treat a wide variety of mental health challenges.
Substance Abuse Addictions
We can treat a variety of substance use disorders. We provide a comprehensive path that mimics the 12-step model originally used by Alcoholics Anonymous, which works well for many other substances and mental health difficulties.
Anxiety Disorders
Anxiety disorders, including panic disorder and generalized anxiety disorder, can really get in the way of a fulfilled life, and our outpatient program can treat them.
Eating Disorders
Our outpatient program also treats eating disorders, such as anorexia nervosa, binge eating disorder, and bulimia nervosa.
Mood Disorders
We treat all types of mood disorders at our Cambridge outpatient program clinic, including bipolar disorder, major depressive disorder, and borderline personality disorder.
Really, if you have any type of mental health or personality disorder, we can help you. If you want to know whether our mental health services are right for you, then feel free to get in touch to speak to one of our friendly members of staff.
What to Expect from Our Comprehensive Care
If you choose our care, rest assured you’ll be in the hands of exceptional outpatient therapists who are committed to doing everything they can to see you through your recovery. Here’s what to expect.
A Personalized Treatment Plan
At Cambridge Mental Health, we always provide individualized treatment plans to our patients. Every patient is an individual with their own mental health challenges and needs. We will work with you to create a tailored, structured program that gives you the best possible chance of overcoming the worst of your symptoms and living a full, happy life.
Therapy Sessions
A big part of our service to patients includes therapy sessions.
Group Therapy: During your time with us, you will attend group therapy sessions. These are a key part of the recovery process, as they allow you to engage with others, forming supportive networks and getting new perspectives.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy: One behavioral therapy we offer is cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT. This psychotherapy is all about helping patients understand their thoughts and behaviors. The patient receives goals and learns new ways to cope.
Dialectical Behavioral Therapy: Another behavioral therapy is dialectical behavioral therapy. This one is specifically used for patients who struggle with extreme emotions, with the treatment focusing on mindfulness, distress tolerance, emotional regulation, and interpersonal effectiveness.
During your time with us, you’ll receive both group and individual therapy, both of which will help you restructure your thoughts and learn new coping mechanisms to help you heal long into the future.
A Structured Program
One of the best parts of choosing a psychiatric day treatment* program is that it provides structure without requiring you to stay in inpatient care. Our mental health care puts you on a very set-out, straightforward path specifically designed to help you with your mental health challenges. You’ll have set goals to reach each week, and you’ll be able to track your progress.
Medication Management
Our partial hospitalization program also covers medication management. This is helpful, as it means you receive any medications you need for your mental health conditions at the right time.
The Treatment of Co-Occurring Disorders
We believe that treatment outcomes are influenced by how all-encompassing the treatment is. At Cambridge Mental Health, we offer treatments for co-occurring disorders. So, if your main problem is major depression but you also suffer from substance use disorder, we can treat both of those simultaneously.
A Supportive Environment
At Cambridge Mental Health, we are proud of the supportive environment we have built. When you choose our care, you choose a safe, comfortable space with others who are going through very similar things to you. Each day you will see familiar faces, and you will always be able to find someone there to chat to. Everyone lifts one another up!
Is Psychiatric Day Treatment* Right for You?
An outpatient program makes a lot of sense if you need structured support – in particular, if regular therapy does not work well enough for you. It also makes sense if, at the same time, you cannot commit to 24/7 inpatient care. It’s like the perfect middle ground.
So, if your mental health symptoms are overwhelming and you need that extra bit of medical care, our treatment plan with evidence-based care is certainly right for you. Our care works particularly well for college students, those in young adulthood, and individuals who are in professional work, as it means you can still stick to your schedule while ensuring you receive more support than traditional therapy.
