About Arbour Counseling Services Allston
Arbor Counseling Services in Allston is one of several locations of this behavioral health network. This clinic is in Allston, Massachusetts. It’s an outpatient treatment center for mental health and addiction. While they can help people at many stages of recovery, they can also help you with that first step in the process, which is detox.
As I mentioned, this is an outpatient treatment center. Rather than inpatient detox, they have medication assisted treatment or MAT. With this outpatient type of care, they give you specialized medications that ease your withdrawal symptoms and your cravings. In a way, the medications are tricking your body into thinking it’s getting drugs or alcohol, and they use this to gradually reduce your dependence on those substances. There are different medications for this, but this facility typically uses Suboxone for opioid addiction and Vivitrol for alcohol addiction.
There will be a doctor who oversees your program and manages your dosage of the medication. They can help you taper down your dosage throughout the detox and recovery process.
It’s important to note that detox and MAT helps with physical addiction, but addiction has a mental side too. That’s why this treatment center also has an intensive outpatient program (IOP) you’ll be working through alongside MAT. You’ll have group therapy and individual therapy as well as personalized recovery and relapse prevention planning.
I also noticed that this facility has a Massachusetts Impaired Driving program and a Second Offender Aftercare Program as well as 24Q substance abuse evaluations. If the court is requiring any of these programs, then this facility can help.
At first glance, the reviews for this treatment center seem very poor, but as I read into them there did seem to be a pattern. For the most part the clients’ complaints have been about the reception and administrative staff. They say the staff is often unkind or irritable, and that they have trouble following through with paperwork and other logistics. But clients mostly say that they’re happy with their therapists and providers and that outside of the administrative team they’ve gotten the help they needed here.

Levels of Care
-
Outpatient
In outpatient therapy, you’ll attend therapy sessions several times each week while living at home. This is ideal if you have a strong support system and a lower risk of relapse. Outpatient treatment offers flexibility to maintain work, school or family obligations.
-
PHP
Partial hospitalization programs provide comprehensive treatment in a structured setting during the day but allow you to return home at night. These programs offer a balance of inpatient and outpatient rehab and provide intensive support without full time residency.
-
Dual Diagnosis
Dual diagnosis programs address substance use disorders and co-occurring mental health conditions simultaneously. This integrated approach to care improves the likelihood of long term recovery and stability by addressing the root causes of addiction.
-
Intervention
An intervention is a structured and professionally guided conversation with an individual who is struggling with addiction. During the conversation, family and friends will encourage you to seek treatment. This is often a pivotal step for those resistant to getting help.
-
Aftercare
Aftercare programs provide ongoing support after you complete a rehab program. They may include several components to help you maintain sobriety including therapy, community support groups and relapse prevention strategies. This gives you a network of resources as you reintegrate into your daily life.
