Through group therapy and educational classes, the <strong>women’s-only PHP program</strong> aims to equip participants with coping skills, improve their self-esteem and sense of assertiveness, and provide a safe place to address past traumatic experiences. Both programs use evidence-based practices, such as <strong>cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and dialectical behavior therapy (DBT)</strong>, and make referrals to outpatient specialists, as necessary.</p> <p>Highly recommended as a <strong>step-down <a href="http://www.recovery.org/topics/extended-recovery-programs/" target="_blank">aftercare service</a></strong> for graduates of inpatient and PHP care and those unable to attend any of the daytime programs, <strong>IOP sessions take place Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday evenings</strong>, for a total of nine hours per week.

This anonymous reviewer gave the facility consistent five out of five-star ratings in the major categories of treatment effectiveness, accommodations and amenities, and meals and nutrition. This former client also awarded perfect five stars for counseling, staff experience, and would recommend the facility to others. However, this individual assigned a one star rating to family participation. They told Rehabs.com: "Good mentors, structured days, helpful activities. However, location was a weakness. Helpful dealing with dual diagnosis issues. Addiction/mental health."</p> <p>On Google, Arbour-HRI Hospital received <strong>mixed reviews</strong> with an average rating of 2.2 out of five stars from 46 individuals to date.<small class="footnote"><a target="_blank" href="#footnote-1"><sup>[1]</sup></a></small> PHP program alum Billy wrote: “I can’t say enough bad things about this place… The environment makes you feel worse than you already do. It’s in the basement. It’s totally low-budget and gives you a cold feeling -- brick walls, no windows, hasn’t been updated since at least the early 80s. The food is worse than prison food. The staff are relatively cold."</p> <p>Yet one reviewer gave the a five-star rating to her experience in the Women's PHP and wrote that: "already it has made a positive impact. The clinicians are young, but really know their stuff and are great at their jobs" and added "I read many negative reviews before attending, but I am very glad that I did not let them dissuade me from coming."</p> <p><strong>FINANCING</strong></p> <p>Arbour Health System accepts most major insurance providers, including Aetna, BlueCross BlueShield, and United Behavioral Health, as well as Medicare and MassHealth managed care plans.</p> <p><small class="footnote"><a target="_blank" href="#footnote-1"><sup>[1]</sup></a> <a href="https://www.google.com/search?q=Arbour-HRI+Hospital&rlz=1C1RUCY_enUS690US690&oq=Arbour-HRI+Hospital&aqs=chrome..69i57j69i60l2&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8#lrd=0x89e379c2785bb7e1:0xad07077e4530fb29,1," target="_blank">GoogleReviews</a></small></p>
