Chelmsford resources and local context

Chelmsford is a commuter town with a lot of families and a lot of people working in the Route 3 and Route 129 technology corridor. The most common reasons people from Chelmsford call us are depression and anxiety that have stopped responding to weekly therapy alone, and alcohol or prescription medication use that has quietly gotten out of hand. Both respond well to the structure of IOP. We also see adults referred from Lowell General Hospital and local primary care practices, and we send progress updates to your prescriber with your consent.
