What is a Day Treatment Program?
At Greater Boston Addiction Centers (GBAC), we offer a day treatment program, also recognized by some insurance providers as a partial hospitalization program (PHP), as a critical step in the recovery process for individuals battling addiction. Our day treatment program provides intensive, structured treatment during the day while allowing individuals to return home or to a sober living environment in the evening. This level of care is ideal for those who need more support than an outpatient program offers but do not require the 24/7 supervision of a residential treatment program.

What Does a Day Treatment Involve?
The day treatment program GBAC is designed to provide comprehensive care that addresses both the physical and psychological aspects of addiction. Our program runs for several hours each day, typically 5-7 days a week, offering a highly focused environment for recovery.
Key components of our day treatment program include:
- Individual Therapy: Personalized one-on-one sessions with licensed therapists to address the root causes of addiction and any co-occurring mental health conditions.
- Group Therapy: Collaborative sessions where clients can share experiences, gain support, and learn from others in a structured setting.
- Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT): Focuses on accepting difficult emotions while committing to actions aligned with personal values. It encourages mindfulness to reduce avoidance of painful experiences.
- Relapse Prevention Planning: Strategies to recognize triggers, manage cravings, and prevent relapse, preparing clients for life after treatment.
- Holistic Approaches: Integrating mindfulness, stress reduction techniques, and wellness activities to promote a well-rounded recovery experience.
Recovery can be a long and difficult journey. Fortunately, nobody has to get sober alone. Addiction treatment programs in Boston can help you or a loved one rediscover a life of sobriety.
Addiction Therapies Offered In GBAC’s Day Treatment Program
- Cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT): Helps you identify and change negative thought patterns and behaviors related to addiction.
- Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT): Focuses on emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and building healthy coping mechanisms.
- Trauma-informed care: Addresses past traumas that may have contributed to substance use, creating a safe space for healing.
- Dual Diagnosis Treatment: Treats co-occurring mental health disorders, such as depression, anxiety, or PTSD, alongside addiction.
- Medication-Assisted Treatment (MAT): Uses medications like Suboxone or Vivitrol to help manage withdrawal symptoms and cravings as part of a comprehensive recovery plan.

Key Differences Between Day Treatment and Night Treatment Programs
Day Treatment Program
- Purpose: Provides intensive treatment during the day while letting people go home at night, balancing support with some independence.
- Duration: Usually lasts several weeks, with daily treatment sessions. A day treatment program typically involves around 20 to 30 hours of treatment per week. These types of programs are also commonly recognized by health insurance providers as partial hospitalization programs.
- Focus: Involves therapy and counseling similar to residential programs but allows participants to sleep at home each night.
- Role of MAT: Medication-Assisted Treatment (MAT) can be included to help manage cravings and support recovery during treatment.
Night Treatment Program
- Purpose: Offers flexible treatment that allows people to participate in therapy while continuing to manage daily life, like work or school.
- Duration: Typically lasts several weeks, with sessions a few times a week rather than every day. These types of programs involve about 9 to 20 hours of treatment per week and are commonly referred to as an intensive outpatient program (IOP) by many insurance companies.
- Focus: Like day treatment programs, night treatment program includes therapy and support but offers more flexibility, so participants can keep up with their everyday lives.
- Role of MAT: MAT can also be part of a night treatment program to help manage cravings and support recovery as individuals balance treatment with their regular activities.
