Mental Health that fits your busy schedule
Evening Psychiatric Treatment Cambridge
Experiencing mental health challenges can get in the way of you living your happiest, most successful life. It can impact your life at home, work, and school, and even cause additional health risks. That’s why seeking a good treatment program is so important.
At Cambridge Mental Health, we make seeking treatment as straightforward as possible, particularly for students and professionals. Our evening outpatient program delivers exceptional, tailored care during the evening, so you can keep up with all your daytime responsibilities while receiving the comprehensive care you need to get better and heal.
What is Our Evening Outpatient Treatment Program*?
Psychiatric Day Treatment*, is a specific type of outpatient treatment for substance abuse and mental health issues that delivers a structured, tailored program without the need for overnight stays. In terms of level of care, it’s somewhere between an inpatient treatment program (where the patient stays all day and night for a length of time) and regular therapy. Evening outpatient treatment is a bit more specific, as it delivers evening treatment/night treatment only, which helps those attending school or work to meet their mental health needs.
The structure of an evening outpatient program will include both individual and group therapy sessions. Often, patients will be able to bring their family in for consultations and therapy sessions, too. They are very goal-oriented, with each patient being given a well-defined step-by-step plan.

What to Expect From Our Psychiatric Day Treatment* Program
At Cambridge Mental Health, we provide evidence-based treatments in a five-star facility located in Cambridge, Massachusetts. Here is how we can meet your mental health needs.
A Personalized Treatment Plan
We always deliver a very specific and personalized treatment plan tailored to every single patient who signs up for our evening treatment program. Our trained medical staff takes things like your treatment history and past experiences into account, ensuring you receive a program that genuinely works for you.
Treatment of Co-Occurring Disorders
We are well-equipped to deal with a range of psychiatric and mental health disorders here at Cambridge Mental Health. As such, we are able to treat co-occurring disorders, so you don’t have to travel to multiple places.
Medication Assisted Treatment
We also offer medication-assisted treatment, including medication management. Our psychiatric services are able to prescribe medications, whether that’s for lessening substance abuse withdrawal symptoms or to support a mental health recovery journey.
Evidence-Based Therapies
A big part of our evening treatment involves a mix of evidence-based therapies to help you manage your emotions and learn new perspectives.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy: We provide is CBT, which is a very goal-oriented therapy that helps you understand your patterns of thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. It’s the type of therapy that genuinely leads to significant change.
Dialectical Behavioral Therapy: Another evidence-based therapy we offer is DBT, which is helpful for getting patients to deal with the more complex and big emotions they have due to a mental health problem, as it focuses more on emotional regulation.
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing: This is a type of treatment specifically for processing traumatic events.
The type of evidence-based therapy we use for your treatment plan will depend on your goals.
Family and Group Therapy
As well as evidence-based therapies, our Cambridge-based evening treatment program also provides both group therapy sessions and family therapy sessions, both of which are incredibly important to anyone’s recovery journey. Our group therapy gives patients the chance to build a community and listen to other people’s issues, giving them new perspectives, while family therapy brings the family unit into the recovery process, which is key to boosting communication and understanding.
Ongoing Support
Our evening outpatient program builds real community. We believe that is key to relapse prevention. As such, we always offer ongoing support to any patient who comes into our care, even after they finish their structured evening treatment program with us.
Is Our Evening Treatment Program Right for You and Your Needs?
So, is our evening treatment program right for you? Here’s what to consider.
Your Mental Health Challenges: Our comprehensive care is specifically for individuals who experience mental health struggles, whether that’s a substance use disorder, major depression, or past trauma.
Your Schedule: Day treatment programs are available to those who need mental health or addiction treatment throughout the day. However, this is an evening program, which works best for those on a typical school or work schedule. You can attend school or work in the daytime, and then head to our evening sessions.
The Intensity of the Treatment Needed: Another thing to consider is how much treatment you might need. If your needs are more extensive, residential treatment may be the better option for you. At the same time, if you are managing a little better, typical therapy might be good enough. We sit somewhere in between, offering an intensive program that doesn’t require overnight stays.
If you are interested in our evening IOP program, do not hesitate to get in touch, as our comprehensive treatment and psychiatric support may be the key to your healing journey.
