Somerville resources and local context
Somerville is one of the youngest and densest cities in Massachusetts, and the people we see from here are often in their twenties and thirties: graduate students and staff at Tufts and Harvard, people in startups and creative work, and service and hospitality workers whose schedules and social lives revolve around alcohol. Many have tried weekly therapy and found it was not enough. If you do not have a car, the MBTA Red Line to Alewife plus a short rideshare, or the 62/76 bus from Alewife, gets you to Bedford; call us and we will help you plan it. We also coordinate with Cambridge Health Alliance for people stepping down from inpatient or crisis care.
