Massachusetts General Addiction Recovery Management Services

The Addiction Recovery Management Service (ARMS) is an outpatient clinic for youth and young adults ages 13–26 experiencing substance use and co-occurring mental health concerns. Our multidisciplinary team includes psychiatrists, psychologists, psychiatric nurse practitioners, master’s-level social workers, and recovery coaches. We develop individualized treatment plans based on each young person’s needs, strengths, and goals, using evidence-based approaches to support meaningful behavior change and recovery.

ARMS provides assessment and treatment for substance use as well as co-occurring concerns such as depression, anxiety, ADHD, bipolar disorder, and other mental health conditions. We also offer a specialized program addressing digital addiction, problematic gaming, and gambling, using evidence-based therapies tailored to these emerging behavioral health concerns.

We also provide individual parent coaching and parent support groups for families navigating substance use, mental health, and behavioral challenges. Parents can access these services even if their child is not enrolled at ARMS.

An MGH primary care provider or referral is not required to receive care at ARMS.
