Institute for Health and Recovery

DESCRIPTION

  • Overview of Organization and Services:
    For help with substance use or mental health issues, call us at 617-661-3991. IHR offers outpatient treatment services for adults, youth, and families struggling with substance use or mental health issues.

    Clinicians work to support clients in addressing their substance use disorders by integrating parenting, mental health, and trauma counseling into treatment. IHR believes that substance use and co-occurring disorders, as well as recovery, occur in the context of family and relationships; therefore, our clinicians support family stabilization by focusing on all family members. IHR’s outpatient services include individual counseling, case management, and group treatment.

    We provide treatment in your home, community, or in our Boston, Cambridge or Lowell offices. We serve most towns in greater Boston and all of northeast Massachusetts.

    To reach the main office, call: 617-661-3991
