NuLife Behavioral Health offers comprehensive and personalized outpatient treatment through partial hospitalization, intensive outpatient, and traditional therapy services. Located in Worcester, Massachusetts, their evidence-based, holistic, and gender-specific methods treat adults with substance abuse and co-occurring mental health disorders. NuLife Worcester is a dual-diagnosis facility, offering integrated and comprehensive treatment for men and women struggling with addiction and co-occurring mental health disorders such as depression, anxiety, or bipolar disorder. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), motivational interviewing (MI), biofeedback, medication-assisted treatment (MAT), and transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) are some of the evidence-based therapies that may be incorporated into individual treatment plans, along with many other holistic and experiential methods. The partial hospitalization program (PHP) is an intermediate step between residential treatment and traditional outpatient programs, ideal for those in need of comprehensive substance abuse treatment without the need for full-time medical assistance. Patients attending PHP participate in treatment 5 days per week, 7 hours per day, allowing enough flexibility to still maintain aspects of their daily lives. NuLife provides a structured daily schedule consisting of life skill groups, stress prevention, emotional management groups, group therapy and activities, and individual or family therapy sessions. Their intensive outpatient program (IOP) is a step down from PHP, focusing on maintaining progress and fostering independence. IOP offers more flexibility, allowing individuals to get the care they need without disrupting their daily routines. Patients will have clinical support, educational resources, aftercare services, and a sense of community amongst other patients with similar experiences. Caring and experienced clinicians create personalized treatment plans and monitor progress closely with regular check-ins, which allow treatment plans to be adjusted based on how patients are responding to their tailored program. Participants typically spend 6-12 weeks in IOP, which may vary based on progress and treatment requirements.
