About Square Medical Group
Square Medical Group in Framingham, MA offers residential treatment, outpatient programming, and Partial Hospitalization for men navigating substance use disorders and co-occurring mental health conditions. With a 90-day residential program, sober housing connections, and a clinical toolkit that includes CBT, medication management, and TMS, the practice serves as a long-term recovery partner for the Greater Boston community.
Square Medical Group is a men's substance use treatment and mental health center located at 153 Winter Street in Framingham, Massachusetts, serving the Greater Boston community. The practice treats substance use disorders alongside co-occurring conditions including mental health disorders and depression, recognizing that lasting recovery often requires addressing both at once. Founded by Dr. Natalie Lender in 2008, Square Medical Group has grown into a multi-level recovery center built around clinical depth and continuity of care.
The center offers three distinct levels of care: residential treatment, an outpatient program, and Partial Hospitalization (PHP). The residential program runs 90 days, providing men with the structure and time needed to build a durable foundation in recovery. For those stepping down from residential care or entering treatment at a less intensive level, the outpatient program and PHP create a continuum that supports men through different stages of the recovery process.
Square Medical Group's clinical approach draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, individual and group therapy, medication management, and neuropsychological testing. The practice also offers Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS), a non-invasive treatment used in addressing depression and mental health conditions that frequently intersect with substance use disorders. Telehealth appointments and a patient portal extend access beyond in-person visits, and the facility provides professional services to outside healthcare organizations.
Square Medical Group exclusively serves men, allowing the program to address the specific dynamics that shape recovery in that population. Aftercare support includes connections to sober housing and low-threshold housing, bridging the gap between structured treatment and independent living. The center accepts a broad range of insurance including MassHealth, Medicare, Blue Cross Blue Shield, Tufts, United Healthcare, Aetna, and Cigna, as well as self-pay and TRICARE, reducing financial barriers to sustained addiction treatment and recovery.
A Continuum of Care for Men in Recovery
Square Medical Group structures its programs around a full continuum of addiction treatment, from a 90-day residential program through Partial Hospitalization and an outpatient program. That range matters for men who need more than a short-term intervention — recovery is rarely linear, and having access to multiple levels of care within one practice means clinical teams can adjust intensity as needs change.
The residential program provides men with 90 days of structured, immersive treatment — a duration that research consistently associates with stronger long-term outcomes compared to shorter stays. For those who have completed residential care or who enter treatment at a lower level of acuity, the PHP and outpatient program offer continued clinical support while allowing men to begin reconnecting with daily life in the Greater Boston area.
Addressing Co-Occurring Disorders in Substance Use Treatment
Many men entering addiction treatment are also managing depression, anxiety, or other mental health conditions that complicate recovery. Square Medical Group treats co-occurring disorders and dual diagnosis as a core part of its clinical work, not an afterthought. Therapeutic methods include Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, group and individual therapy, medication management, and neuropsychological testing — a combination that allows clinicians to address both the behavioral and neurological dimensions of a person's condition.
The availability of Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation sets Square Medical Group apart from most substance abuse treatment programs. TMS is a non-invasive, FDA-cleared treatment used for depression and related conditions, and its inclusion reflects the practice's commitment to addressing the mental health side of recovery with the same seriousness it brings to substance use treatment. Telehealth appointments further extend access to ongoing care between in-person visits.
Aftercare and Sober Living Connections
Completing a residential program is a significant milestone, but what happens next carries enormous weight in determining long-term recovery outcomes. Square Medical Group supports men through that transition with aftercare connections to sober housing and low-threshold housing — options that provide community, structure, and accountability as men move from a treatment setting back into independent living.
Sober living is widely recognized as one of the most effective bridges between residential treatment and sustained recovery. By integrating housing support into its aftercare planning, Square Medical Group reinforces the idea that recovery is an ongoing process rather than a single episode of treatment. For families and individuals evaluating long-term recovery partners in the Framingham area, this kind of coordinated aftercare support is a meaningful differentiator.

Accepted insurance includes MassHealth, Medicare, Blue Cross Blue Shield, Tufts, United Healthcare, Aetna, and Cigna.
