Where is Accord located?

We’re located in Arlington, Massachusetts, a charming town with many walkable amenities, which is about 20 minutes from Boston.

What is the average length of stay?

Accord is a 4–12 week intensive residential and day treatment program. Residency is recommended for a minimum of 4 weeks. Some participants may benefit from staying for 8 or 12 weeks to fully take advantage of this approach. This will be further discussed in the admissions process.

Who can participate?

Accord is designed for people 18+ who are ready to use metabolic therapies to help alleviate mental health symptoms through improving their brain health. It’s important that the person be in a stable state. We do not offer 24/7 staffing, and therefore clients need to be able to care for themselves independently within a supported environment. We work with a variety of mental health and metabolic diagnoses. If you need more intensive clinical support, you may benefit from our sister program, Ellenhorn.

Do you accept insurance?

Unfortunately, the program is not covered by insurance, as it is the first of its kind. Accord is not an “in-network provider” with any health insurance plans. The program is not eligible for Medicare or Medicaid reimbursement; Accord is self-pay.
