HRI Hospital

HRI Hospital offers one of the more complete care continuums available in Brookline, MA — beginning with medical detox and moving through residential treatment, inpatient treatment, Partial Hospitalization (PHP), Intensive Outpatient (IOP), and standard outpatient programming. For people and families planning longer-term recovery, this structure matters: it means a person can enter at the level of care they need most acutely and transition through progressively less intensive settings without losing the clinical relationships they've built.

The facility operates 24 hours a day with a 66-bed capacity across four inpatient units, and holds an Opioid Treatment Program (OTP) certification. Whether someone is entering a residential treatment program or stepping down into an outpatient program after inpatient care, HRI is designed to support the full arc of recovery — not just its earliest stages.

HRI Hospital's inpatient dual diagnosis program is built specifically for adults living with both co-occurring psychiatric conditions and substance use disorders — a population that often falls through the gaps when treatment programs address only one side of that picture. By integrating mental health and substance abuse treatment, HRI provides a recovery environment where both conditions receive attention from the outset. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is among the confirmed therapeutic approaches used within the program.

Trauma and PTSD are recognized conditions treated at HRI, which is significant for a recovery community audience: unaddressed trauma is frequently at the root of long-term substance use, and naming it as a clinical focus — rather than a secondary concern — reflects a more complete understanding of what sustained recovery requires.

HRI Hospital has a documented history as one of the first behavioral healthcare providers in the region to offer dedicated mental health treatment for the LGBTQ+ community. The Triangle Partial Hospitalization Program, described on the facility's own website, continues that commitment today. For LGBTQ+ individuals seeking a recovery center where their identity is not an afterthought but a programmatic focus, this history carries real weight.

Beyond LGBTQ+ care, HRI serves a broad range of populations: men, women, young adults (18–25), women of color, people living with HIV/AIDS, and individuals who are deaf or hard of hearing. This breadth of population focus reflects a genuine commitment to accessible, community-oriented addiction treatment — not a one-size-fits-all residential treatment model.

Financing ongoing addiction treatment and aftercare is one of the most practical barriers families face when planning longer-term recovery. HRI Hospital accepts Medicaid, Medicare, private insurance, TRICARE, and self-pay, covering a wide range of financial situations. The acceptance of both Medicaid and Medicare is particularly relevant for people navigating public insurance who need access to a full continuum — including residential treatment and PHP — without being limited to bare-minimum outpatient options.

The facility is located at 227 Babcock Street in Brookline, MA and can be reached by phone at (617) 731-3200 or by email at [email protected]. With 24-hour operations and multiple levels of care on-site, HRI is positioned to respond to both planned admissions and time-sensitive treatment needs.
