Depression

Rediscover motivation, purpose, and peace

Depression can make even simple tasks feel overwhelming. At Pax Healing, our outpatient programs provide the structure, therapy, and psychiatric support clients need to rebuild energy, confidence, and hope. At our Rochdale facility, adults 18 and older from Worcester County can access the Full Day Program (PHP) or daytime and evening Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP). Individual therapy is included in PHP and IOP. We accept all forms of MassHealth. Contact admissions to discuss program schedules, insurance benefits and an assessment; you do not need to know which program is right for you before reaching out.
