A clearer next step before you call

If a weekly appointment is not providing enough structure, it may be useful to compare MVBH’s Full Day PHP, Half Day IOP, and Outpatient options. The right intensity depends on an individual assessment, including current needs, safety, ability to participate, and the support available outside treatment hours.

MVBH’s admissions process begins with a call or secure callback request. Coverage varies by plan. A benefits review can clarify plan-specific network status, authorization, and potential cost sharing, but the website does not guarantee coverage, availability, or a start date.

The MVBH difference

A luxury approach to outpatient mental health care

Most outpatient treatment feels clinical and rushed. MVBH is different. Our historic Mill 77 setting in Amesbury is designed to calm your nervous system while you do real, evidence-based work - CBT, DBT, trauma-focused therapy, and medication management.

It's not a spa, and it's not residential. It's intensive outpatient treatment delivered in a restorative, private setting - and because it's Full Day PHP / Half Day IOP, your benefits may apply; we verify yours up front. Explore our luxury mental health retreat approach.
