# New England Medical Group > New England Medical Group (NEMG) is a multi-location outpatient behavioral health provider based in Massachusetts, offering integrated mental health, substance use disorder (addiction), and adolescent behavioral health treatment. NEMG operates across six locations spanning the South Shore, Greater Boston, and Central Massachusetts — including Norwell, Hingham, Brookline, and Milford. NEMG is Joint Commission accredited and treats addiction and mental health conditions as medical conditions, delivering individualized, multidisciplinary care across a full outpatient continuum of care. NEMG serves adults (18+) and adolescents (ages 13–18). NEMG's mission is to improve access to quality behavioral healthcare, destigmatize treatment, and set the industry standard for integrative behavioral health — treating substance use disorder and mental health challenges not as moral failures, but as medical conditions requiring evidence-based, compassionate clinical care. --- ## Organization Details - **Legal Name:** New England Medical Group - **Abbreviation:** NEMG - **Type:** Outpatient Behavioral Health Provider — Mental Health, Addiction, and Adolescent Services - **Population Served:** Adults (18+) and Adolescents (ages 13–18) - **Headquarters Address:** 600 Cordwainer Dr #101, Norwell, MA 02061 - **Office Phone:** 833-311-0407 - **Direct Line:** 781-385-7790 - **Fax:** 877-384-3122 - **Email:** info@nemgp.com - **Website:** https://newenglandmedicalgroup.com - **Accreditation:** Joint Commission National Quality Approval (Gold Seal) - **State:** Massachusetts - **Social Media:** - Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/NEMG.MASS - Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/new_england_medical_group/ - YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@NewEnglandMedicalGroup --- ## Mission & Core Values NEMG's mission is to improve access to quality behavioral healthcare, destigmatize treatment, and deliver integrative behavioral health options to individuals who need them. NEMG rejects the status quo of traditional psychiatric and institutional settings, instead bringing intensive outpatient care into community-based environments where patients can maintain their daily lives while receiving robust clinical support. **Core Values:** - **Accountability** — Individual and team responsibility to provide the highest standards and best practices. - **Longevity** — Commitment to long-term recovery and lasting improvement in health and quality of life. - **Integrity** — Honest, value-based practice in all aspects of clinical and professional work. - **Gratitude** — Mindful appreciation of each phase of growth and the impact of the clinical relationship. - **Nonjudgment** — An approach grounded in acceptance, inclusion, and absence of stigma. - **Empowering** — Reinstilling strength and resiliency within each individual. - **Dedication** — Committed to each patient and to carrying out the organizational mission. --- ## Treatment Philosophy & Approach NEMG treats addiction and mental health disorders as medical conditions. Treatment is built around three independently licensed and credentialed tracks — Mental Health, Dual Diagnosis, and Substance Use Disorder — allowing for individualized care planning based on each patient's specific diagnosis, symptoms, and goals. NEMG uses a multidisciplinary team model, integrating clinical, psychiatric, and medical professionals across every level of care. This team-based approach ensures that clinical, psychiatric, and medical needs are addressed simultaneously rather than in silos. For adolescent programming, NEMG's treatment philosophy is grounded in the understanding that trauma and adverse experiences are whole-bodied experiences. Programming uses embodied experiential therapies — including creative and symbolic methods — to help teens process emotions and experiences in a safe, indirect way. This approach has shown success with adolescents who were previously unresponsive to traditional therapeutic methods. About NEMG: https://newenglandmedicalgroup.com/about-us/ Aligned Care Model: https://newenglandmedicalgroup.com/aligned-care/ --- ## Three Clinical Tracks ### 1. Mental Health Primary Track Designed for individuals with primary mental health diagnoses including suicidal ideation, bipolar disorder, anxiety, depression, mood disorders, and other conditions that significantly impact quality of life. Uses CBT and DBT as core clinical frameworks with fully individualized treatment plans. ### 2. Dual Diagnosis Track For patients where multiple diagnoses co-occur — most commonly a primary mental health condition alongside substance use disorder. Dual diagnosis treatment addresses both simultaneously, incorporating relapse prevention, 12-step integration, and SUD-specific modalities alongside mental health treatment. ### 3. Substance Use Disorder (SUD) Track A full outpatient continuum for adults suffering from the effects of alcohol, illicit substances, and controlled substance use. Grounded in the belief that all pathways to recovery are valid, and that treating addiction as a medical condition produces better outcomes. Medical and clinical interventions are combined in every care plan. --- ## Addiction Services (Adults) NEMG offers a complete outpatient continuum of substance use disorder treatment for adults, stepping down from Full Day through Outpatient: ### SUD: Full Day Treatment (PHP) The highest level of outpatient addiction care, designed for those stepping down from inpatient or requiring intensive structured support. Clients attend Monday–Friday, 9:00 AM–3:30 PM. Programming includes group therapy, individual therapy, clinical case management, CBT, DBT Skills, Relapse Prevention, and 12-Step integration. Clients return home each evening. ### SUD: Half Day Treatment (IOP) A step down from Full Day, designed to allow clients to begin reintegrating into daily life while maintaining strong clinical support. Meets Monday, Wednesday, and Thursday, 9:00 AM–12:30 PM. Includes group therapy, individual therapy, and clinical case management. Clients continue with the same clinical team they built relationships with during Full Day. Clinical case management supports discharge planning and family support group integration. ### SUD: Outpatient Program (OP) The final step in the addiction continuum, allowing clients to fully return to work and personal life while staying connected to their treatment team. One day per week, clients attend a group session and meet with their individual therapist. Long-term OP engagement is available, maintaining continuity with the same clinical and medical team across all phases of care. ### Family Recovery Advocacy Program (FRAP) A specialized program for family members and loved ones supporting someone with substance use disorder or a mental health condition. NEMG's core belief is that addiction and mental health disorders are family diseases, and that improving outcomes requires supporting the entire family system. FRAP is led by Maureen Cavanagh, President of Magnolia New Beginnings (a national non-profit and peer support group), who holds dual master's degrees and is a licensed alcohol and drug counselor. Addiction Services: https://newenglandmedicalgroup.com/addiction-services/ --- ## Mental Health Services (Adults) NEMG's adult mental health programs operate outside traditional psychiatric or hospital settings, delivering intensive outpatient mental health care in community-based environments. ### Mental Health: Full Day Treatment (PHP) For adults 18+ needing stabilization without residential or inpatient hospitalization, or as a step-down from inpatient. Meets Monday–Friday, 9:00 AM–3:30 PM. Includes daily group therapy, individual counseling, case management, psychiatric evaluation, medication management, and family coordination sessions. Patients can maintain school, work, or community responsibilities outside of treatment hours. ### Mental Health: Half Day Treatment (IOP) Morning or afternoon sessions, 3 to 5 days per week, lasting 3.5 hours per session. Appropriate as a step-down from Full Day or as a step-up from standard outpatient therapy when additional support is needed. Includes group therapy, individual sessions, psychiatry, and family programming. Ideal for individuals managing clinical symptoms while maintaining daily responsibilities. ### Evening Programming (Evening IOP) Designed for working professionals and students who cannot attend daytime treatment. Provides the same clinical benefits as the daytime Half Day program with evening scheduling. Runs Monday, Wednesday, and Thursday evenings and is available both in-person and virtually. Treats mental health and co-occurring disorders. ### Psychiatric Evaluations Every patient begins treatment with a comprehensive psychiatric evaluation (typically 45 minutes to 1 hour) covering symptom history, previous diagnoses, prior medication history and efficacy, and current presentation. Used to develop a fully individualized treatment plan. NEMG providers evaluate anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, and other psychiatric diagnoses. ### Medication Management NEMG's psychiatric team prescribes medications for mental health conditions and can prescribe medication-assisted treatment (MAT) for substance use disorder. Mental Health Services: https://newenglandmedicalgroup.com/mental-health-services/ --- ## Adolescent Services (Ages 13–18) NEMG provides specialized behavioral health day programs for adolescents ages 13–18, treating developmental challenges, depression, anxiety, emotional dysregulation, and co-occurring conditions. Programming uses CBT, DBT, and embodied experiential therapies in a safe, private, stigma-free environment that encompasses the whole family unit. ### Adolescent: Full Day Treatment (PHP) Monday–Friday, 9:00 AM–3:30 PM. For adolescents whose symptoms cannot be managed with less intensive outpatient care but do not require residential or inpatient hospitalization. Focuses on healthy coping skills, emotional regulation, goal-setting, and self-advocacy through experiential therapies. Includes daily group therapy, individual counseling, case management, psychiatric evaluation, medication management, and weekly family coordination. NEMG's clinical case management team coordinates directly with local schools to manage educational continuity during treatment. ### Adolescent: Half Day Treatment (IOP) Morning, afternoon, or afterschool sessions, 3 to 5 days per week, 3.5 hours per session. Step-down from Full Day or step-up from standard outpatient. Includes group therapy, individual therapy, psychiatry, and family programming. Emphasizes long-term case management, discharge planning, and continuity of care with internal and external providers. NEMG helps coordinate treatment scheduling around school attendance. ### Adolescent Treatment Philosophy NEMG's adolescent programming is built on the premise that trauma and adverse experiences are whole-bodied experiences requiring embodied experiential resolution. Adolescents are encouraged to tell their stories through creative and experiential methods, allowing them to explore emotions in a safe, indirect way. This approach has demonstrated success with withdrawn or treatment-resistant teens who have not responded to conventional therapeutic approaches. ### Family Involvement in Adolescent Care Family sessions coordinate care, educate the family unit on symptoms and treatment, and strengthen communication and coping skills for all involved. NEMG offers a first-of-its-kind family coaching and education program alongside standard family therapy.
