What We Offer
Addiction Day Treatment Program in Massachusetts
Northstar Recovery Center’s Day Treatment Program in Massachusetts —referred to as a Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP) by commercial insurance providers—is the highest level of outpatient care we offer. Designed for those who are transitioning from detox or residential treatment, or whose substance use doesn’t require medical intervention, this structured and intensive treatment program provides comprehensive care during the day while allowing you to return home each evening.
Who We Are
Care for Lasting Sobriety
What is Day Treatment (PHP)?
Day Treatment is a clinically intensive behavioral health program that blends the depth of inpatient treatment with the flexibility of outpatient living. It’s ideal for individuals who need consistent support and accountability, but who are ready to begin integrating recovery into daily life.
In our Massachusetts Day Treatment program, you’ll participate in treatment services five to six days a week, for five to six hours each day, in a safe and therapeutic environment. Our expert team works with you to build coping skills, identify relapse triggers, and begin addressing the underlying causes of addiction—setting the foundation for long-term recovery.
What to Expect at Northstar PHP Program
- Daily therapeutic programming, including individual counseling, group therapy, and psychoeducation
- Evidence-based practices and psychotherapies such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), EMDR and trauma-informed care, relapse prevention, and more
- Holistic support, including wellness education, spiritual development, mindfulness, and yoga
- Personalized treatment plans tailored to your unique needs and goals, including aftercare planning
- Medication management and medication-assisted treatment (MAT) facilitated by our psychiatric nurse practitioner

Why Northstar Recovery Center?
We don’t just help people get clean or stop drinking—we help people start living. Recovery is a journey, and we are committed to walking it with you and your loved ones. Here are some unique benefits of our Day Treatment addiction program in Massachusetts.
We offer in-person, hybrid, and virtual treatment options, six days per week. Northstar also has evening programming four days per week. Our wide range of levels of care enables us to help you transition seamlessly from PHP to our partial day treatment (referred to as an intensive outpatient program, or IOP, by commercial insurance).
Recovery doesn’t happen in isolation. We offer weekly family support groups for loved ones of Northstar clients or alumni to be seen and heard, learning about the disease of addiction while building a community of support.
You’ll be able to involve your loved ones in your treatment planning, including meeting with your dedicated clinician with our family therapy sessions.
We have relationships with the best residential addiction treatment facilities in Massachusetts. We’ll take the time to get you the best inpatient care possible based on your insurance plan, even if that means it’s not with us.
Northstar’s vast and evergrowing support network of alumni come back for weekly meetings, help to introduce current clients to external recovery meetings, and foster an environment of accountability.
Clients have access to daily 12 Step groups, where they can learn how programs like AA and NA work, and begin stepwork while in a structured environment.
Nearly all of our staff are in long-term recovery themselves, or have had an immediate loved one struggle with substance use disorder. We are grounded in the belief that recovery is possible for everyone.
You belong here, exactly as you are. We proudly serve individuals from all backgrounds and walks of life, including BIPOC and LGBTQ+ communities, those with co-occurring mental health disorders, or individuals with a troubled legal history.
