“Recovery is not about never falling; it’s about always getting back up.” – Unknown.
If you are feeling stuck in the cycle of alcohol use, you are not alone — and there’s a way forward. Many people face this struggle, and help is available. According to the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism, nearly 29 million people in the U.S. had alcohol use disorder in 2023 — a reminder that healing isn’t rare, it’s real.
At Clover Behavioral Health in Acton, MA, we designed a program to let you recover while you continue with your life. Our compassionate staff provides a supportive outpatient program that is adaptable to your schedule and allows you to move forward with confidence, not anxiety.

Understanding Intensive Outpatient Programs (IOPs)
Recovery doesn’t have to mean stepping away from your entire life. At Clover Behavioral Health, our Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP) in Acton, MA, offers the care and structure you need, while allowing you to stay connected to your home, work, and loved ones.
Rather than staying at a rehab center for treatment, you will go to scheduled sessions multiple times each week. Here, you will receive custom therapy, individualized counseling, as well as training to help you manage cravings, triggers, and other difficult emotional issues. Then, it’s time to go home, where you put what you have learned in sessions into practice in your daily life with your support system nearby.
Remember that people heal differently, that’s why we’ve structured our program around the Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP). These are some of the things that IOP members can look forward to:
- Individual Counseling: You will have the opportunity to partner with an experienced therapist in a safe and judgment-free environment. You and your therapist will be able to identify the unique stressors in your life and help you develop the emotional resilience needed for long-term healing.
- Group Support: You do not have to go through this by yourself. Our group sessions for individuals add value to their personal experiences as they bring people together who truly understand what it’s like — support, connection, and learning in the process.
- Alcohol Counseling: We assist you in coping with alcohol use disorder and help you understand the impact alcohol has on your body, your relationships, and your mental health, and guide you toward healthier long-term habits.
- Family Involvement: Support helps facilitate recovery and rebuilding trust, offering to assist everyone in recovering together. To enhance healing and unity, we include family sessions.
- Relapse Prevention: Challenges await after treatment, but you won’t have to face them unprepared. During your sessions, we help you construct a comprehensive plan to identify triggers, navigate obstacles, and maintain focus during tough times.

Real Massachusetts IOP Case Study: “Overcoming Relapse” at Greater Boston Addiction Centers
After completing inpatient care, a client at Greater Boston Addiction Centers (GBAC) faced challenges maintaining sobriety in daily life. To avoid relapse, they joined GBAC’s Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP), which offered weekly group therapy and individual counseling. Through therapies like CBT and DBT, they built coping strategies and a strong support network. Over time, the client stabilized and stayed sober, now celebrating over 18 months of recovery. This real case shows how structured IOP care can support long-term sobriety for those recovering from alcohol addiction.
