Eikos Community Services

EIKOS is a private psychiatric community residence in Boston, MA. We serve clients 25 years and older with diagnoses such as schizophrenia; schizo-affective, bipolar, or anxiety disorders; and major depression. In addition, we serve many other adults with varied psycho-social profiles who need a safe therapeutic transition to greater health and ind... ependence. The name "EIKOS" was derived from the Greek word OIKOS which means "home, household or extended family community". EIKOS Community Services has been developing as a psychiatric and social residential rehabilitation program since 1968, and has been licensed by the Massachusetts Department of Mental Health as a psychiatric community residence with staffed apartments since l986. Over that period of time, we have evolved and changed, always expanding our vision. Our core philosophy is that everyone needs a place to feel safe and secure in a "true home". EIKOS has become a very special community where individuals with mental illness or other special psychological and social needs can find that home and feel the security to start over. At EIKOS, residents develop new friendships and experience the freedom to make fresh choices and decisions. They find a new social network of counselors and friends where caring relationships are built among EIKOS members. In this therapeutic environment EIKOS provides long term residential services (of at least three months to many years) for adults with social, psychological and adjustment problems who require a specialized supportive network to live well.Read More
