Massachusetts Residential Highly Structured Mental Health Treatment Programs
Wild Acre Inns offers two highly-structured mental treatment programs, the Babcock and Lexington Programs. These programs offer a mental health day program tailored to the type of diagnosis and psychopharmacology.
The Babcock Program offers brief intensive treatment for clients who suffer from dual diagnosis, trauma, and mood-related disorders.
The Lexington Program offers long-term care for persistent mental illness and for clients who need direction with basic life skills.

Frequent treatment reviews are held to assess each individual's progress, and to adjust the treatment plan and medication requirements as needed.
