Institute for Health and Recovery

Institute for Health and Recovery (IHR) in Massachusetts is a nonprofit providing outpatient addiction and behavioral health treatment in downtown Boston.

IHR treats substance use, trauma, mental health challenges and co-occurring disorders for adults, adolescents, young adults and families.

This organization has delivered family-centered, trauma-informed, strengths-based care that meets people where they are both in clinic and in the community.

Co-Occurring Disorder Treatment

IHR's core focus is outpatient substance use treatment integrated with mental health and trauma care.

Services include counseling along with aftercare support to help clients sustain long-term recovery.

Treatment includes methods such as cognitive behavioral therapy, motivational interviewing, brief intervention and relapse prevention.

Sessions address both addiction and the underlying issues that fuel it, while peer support, recovery coaching and overdose education round out a whole-person approach.

Care for Pregnant and Parenting People

IHR offers specialized support for pregnant and parenting people, families involved with child welfare and youth at risk.

Through its Women & Family Referral Center, the organization provides statewide referral access for pregnant individuals navigating substance use.

Care can be delivered in homes, schools, courts and other community settings for flexible, stigma-aware support.
