We provide individual, child, family and group therapy, as well as psychiatric medication services. Medication only clients are required to engage in regular counseling contacts, as a rule. 

• Substance dependent clients in need of medical detox, such as for alcohol, benzodiazepine or opiate dependence can access detoxification services 24/7.
   
• Dual Diagnosis Acute Stabilization (DDAS) is available  24/7.  Most insurances are accepted. Many – such as MA Health require prescreening at  Corrigan Crisis Services. This is for clients who have substance abuse and mental health issues who require an inpatient stay. Sometimes this is a step up  from a lower level of care at SSTAR or a step down from hospital.
   
• Structured Outpatient Addiction Program (SOAP) is a residential program available for up to 21 days for clients in early recovery who are homeless or those who have no safe place to return to because of the risk of relapse. They may be waiting for a halfway house admission. SOAP admission is available 24/7. Most insurances are accepted.
   
• Open Access Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP) or Evening IOP are designed for clients in the first 90 days of recovery or who are trying to stop, but do not need a medical detoxification. Average client stay is five weeks. Length of stay is based on clinical need and may vary. Clients can call to request treatment and start treatment the same day. For daytime IOP, a new client will be instructed to come in at 7:30 am the following weekday.  The Intake will usually be completed by 9 am. IOP program hours are 8:30 am to 1 pm on weekdays.  Evening IOP intakes begin at 3:30 pm to 5 pm and program hours are 4:30 pm to 8:30 pm on weekdays. Clients are advised to come 3-5 times a week, but there is flexibility in which days or even combining morning and evening program participation.
   
• Family counseling and education on addiction is available for all levels of care. A family group is starting soon through the Evening IOP and open to family members of any SSTAR clients.
   
• ARISE is a non-confrontational family intervention to help to motivate substance dependent loved ones to enter and stay in treatment. It can be an effective alternative to court-ordered treatment through  Section 35  useful for those who are not appropriate for Section 35, but who need encouragement and information about treatment options.
