Waltham sits right on Route 128, which makes Bedford one of the easier trips in Greater Boston. We treat adults from across Waltham, including the biotech and tech workforce along the Route 128 corridor, students and staff at Brandeis and Bentley, and families from the Lakeview, Warrendale, and Piety Corner neighborhoods.
Our center is at 4 Preston Court in Bedford, a short drive north on 128 and then Route 3 or Route 4/225. Every program is outpatient, so you sleep at home and commute to treatment. Free on-site parking, and evening options for people who work during the day.
