Maugel DeStefano's healthcare team designed the 14,000 SF community behavioral health center for Advocates, Inc., in Framingham, Mass. Located at 1094 Worcester Road, Advocates provides a broad range of services for people facing life challenges such as addiction, aging, autism, brain injury, intellectual/developmental disabilities, and mental health challenges.
The renovated facility is now home to one of the largest outpatient behavioral health centers in the state. The clinic features 30 treatment rooms, an onsite lab & pharmacy, rooms for group therapy, a patient nourishment station, and ample support spaces to maximize staff efficiency.
The center will also house a crisis stabilization unit to provide a safe space for patients to stay while awaiting placement into a recovery program. The unit will be open 24/7 and feature a kitchen, lounge area, six bedrooms, laundry services, and shower facilities.
