Cedar Hill’s day treatment program can serve as a transitionary phase after inpatient psychiatric treatment, substance use treatment, dual diagnosis treatment, or as an alternative to ensure that symptoms do not persist and are effectively stabilized. Our day treatment services are led by highly trained and accredited professionals who ensure all patients receive individualized care plans tailored to their needs.
What is Day Treatment?
Day treatment is a structured and intensive mental health program that provides a wide range of services for individuals who require a higher level of care than traditional outpatient therapy but do not necessitate round-the-clock inpatient hospitalization. A day treatment program bridges the gap between inpatient treatment and outpatient care by offering participants the opportunity to receive intensive therapeutic services while residing in their own homes or supportive living environments. Patients will participate in intensive and comprehensive services on a daily basis, ensuring they receive an adequate level of care while being able to return home each day.
Programs vary per patient but will involve a combination of individual therapy, intensive group therapy sessions, and various psychoeducational services tailored to each participant’s specific needs. This intensive treatment program is designed to foster recovery, enhance coping skills, and promote overall mental well-being, making them a valuable resource in the spectrum of mental health treatment services.
Day treatment programs can effectively treat mental conditions, including depression and anxiety disorders, mood disorders, post-traumatic stress disorder, and dual diagnosis. Treatment lengths may vary based on the severity of conditions but typically range between 7 and 10 days. Patients will work closely with their care team to ensure their treatment services and length are effective for their mental status and progress.
Treatment Orientation and Approach to Mental Health Care
Upon admission to our day treatment program, clients will meet with our multidisciplinary treatment team to assess their mental and general health. Our staff’s warm and compassionate nature will encourage clients to share their experiences with current and prior mental illness and past diagnoses so programs can effectively address all facets of wellness.
Our day treatment program approach is goal-oriented and aims to provide long-term recovery and wellness with science-based therapy approaches and skill-based training. Daily sessions will include a combination of cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), intensive group therapy, medication management, patient education, and aftercare planning.
Skills training will incorporate mindfulness, distress tolerance, emotional regulation, and self-assessment to aid patients in stabilizing their mental health. Our approach ensures that treatment addresses acute symptoms and long-term recovery goals.

Behavioral Health Day Treatment Schedule
Patients will check in with staff in the morning, and have a chance to settle in before sessions begin. A typical day-of-day treatment service will include 4-5 treatment sessions, consisting of individual therapy, group therapy, skills training, and one-on-one meetings with our multidisciplinary treatment team. Breaks and lunch will be held between sessions.
Group therapies will be led by licensed professionals in the morning and focus on healthy coping skills, symptom management, life skills, and emotional regulation techniques. This therapy model ensures patients can connect with others while building critical skills for mental health improvement.
Individual meetings are typically held in the afternoon and will further facilitate stabilization and ensure the patient’s mental health conditions are progressing. Clients will participate in individual therapy sessions, which may incorporate cognitive behavior therapy (CBT) and dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) with licensed mental health counselors. These sessions are critical to day treatment care and will address the symptoms and management of mental health conditions including post-traumatic stress disorder, anxiety, depression, and personality disorders.
An adult day treatment program provides intensive utilization of specialty areas in addition to traditional therapy models to target a wide range of mental health conditions. Our day treatment program schedule ensures treatment is comprehensive and thorough, and the program focuses on goal-oriented treatments to accelerate recovery.
In addition to individual therapy, patients will meet with their case management team for medication management and discharge planning, and to assess the general progression of their mental health conditions.
Who Can Benefit from a Day Treatment Program
Day treatment programs are a valuable treatment option that can benefit various individuals facing mental health challenges.
These programs are particularly well-suited for individuals in crisis, providing immediate and intensive care for those experiencing acute symptoms of mental illness such as severe depression, anxiety, or suicidal thoughts. Day treatment programs provide short-term stabilization through managed care plans to ensure patients progress in their recovery safely.
Additionally, day treatment programs serve as an essential transition point for individuals recently discharged from inpatient psychiatric facilities, offering a structured step-down level of patient care as they continue their recovery journey.
For individuals with co-occurring mental health conditions, day treatment programs provide specialized dual-diagnosis treatment that can effectively address both issues simultaneously. Additionally, a day treatment program can assist in stabilizing individuals at risk of relapse due to factors like medication adjustments or life stressors. Programs can support high-risk individuals, including adolescents, adults, individuals with a history of self-harm, or individuals in need of crisis intervention.
Day treatment programs are suitable for those seeking intensive therapy, medication management, the development of coping skills, or structured support during transitions from inpatient to an intensive outpatient program. The personalization of treatment plans within day treatment programs ensures that individuals receive the specific care and support needed for their unique circumstances.
Is Family Involved in Treatment?
Family involvement is a key component of day treatment for mental health. Our programs recognize the importance of the family system in an individual’s recovery and well-being. With permission, families will be encouraged to be active in their loved one’s recovery process, and family therapy sessions can be provided to improve family dynamics, communication, and family education.
Our goal-oriented treatment extends beyond the individual’s mental health conditions alone and aims to ensure their personal and family life facilitates wellbeing. Family members will be encouraged to participate in support groups, education sessions, family meetings, and the planning of psychiatric care for their loved ones.
Are Support Groups Offered?
Support groups are an integral part of ongoing care for outpatient treatment programs. While our day treatment programs provide intensive care for the duration of treatment, many patients can benefit from additional support from peers and community providers. Our facilities can connect patients with support groups for psychiatric issues, substance use, and co-occurring disorders to further prevent relapse and provide a full range of care.

Our premier day treatment program is nestled in the heart of Woburn, in the scenic region of South eastern Massachusetts.
