Outpatient Psychiatric Services

The Lawrence F. Schiff Day Treatment Center is an adult psychiatric day treatment program which provides full and part-time diagnostic, treatment, and rehabilitative and recovery-oriented services. Individuals suffering from severe and persistent mental illness from Cambridge, Somerville, and the greater Boston communities who need more intensive treatment than weekly outpatient individual and/or group therapy, but who do not require inpatient hospitalization, greatly benefit from this structured approach. Day Treatment clients receive many of the same services provided in inpatient settings, but are able to return to their homes at the end of the treatment day.

The North Charles Mental Health Clinic (NCMHC) is a Department of Public Health licensed facility that offers mental health services to adult patients suffering from mental illness or psychological distress. The NCMC offers a variety of treatment modalities to alleviate symptomatology, optimize functioning and increase understanding of psychological difficulties. These services include diagnostic evaluation; individual psychotherapy; family/couple’s treatment and medication prescription and management. In order to receive medication services clients must also engage in psychotherapeutic treatment at the NCMHC.
