Mental health and substance use conditions look different depending on who you are and what your life demands. Forrest Behavioral Health in Bedford treats adults from across Greater Boston and tailors care to your work, family, and community.
Every adult who walks into our Bedford center gets the same evidence-based treatment: a full assessment, an individualized plan, and a mix of group therapy, individual therapy, and psychiatric care. What changes is how we apply it. A nurse coming off night shifts, a college student mid-semester, a new parent, and a police officer each face different pressures, schedules, and worries about privacy. The pages below explain how we adapt our day treatment, IOP, Evening IOP, and outpatient programs for the people we see most often.
Trauma-informed mental health and addiction treatment for veterans, with VA Community Care and TRICARE coordination.
Confidential, trauma-focused care for police, fire, EMS, dispatch, and corrections, including evening programs for shift work.
Treatment for nurses, physicians, and clinical staff dealing with burnout, trauma exposure, depression, anxiety, or substance use.
Discreet outpatient care that lets you keep working, with clear answers about privacy, licensure, and leave.
Support for students at Boston-area schools managing anxiety, depression, and substance use alongside coursework.
Affirming mental health and addiction treatment from a team that understands minority stress and identity-related trauma.
Help for postpartum depression and anxiety, parenting stress, and substance use, with scheduling that respects childcare.
Depression and anxiety treatment for parents adjusting to life after children leave home.
These groups reflect the people we see most, but they are not a list of requirements. If you are an adult in Massachusetts struggling with your mental health or substance use, call us. We will talk through what you are dealing with and whether one of our programs is a fit. If we are not the right level of care, we will tell you and help you find what is.
If you are a spouse, parent, friend, or manager trying to help someone, our guides for loved ones walk through what to say, what to expect from treatment, and how to take care of yourself along the way.
Call us any time for a confidential conversation. We’ll answer your questions, check your insurance at no cost, and help you decide whether Forrest is the right fit — no pressure.
