About

CICAM’s model integrates neuroscience-informed tools, community-based approaches, and culturally responsive frameworks into the daily fabric of addiction treatment. Through real-time feedback loops, we apply lessons from implementation to improve services — not in theory, but in practice.

  • CICAM is a clinical innovation hub housed within Hope House in Boston, MA. Our team brings together clinicians, researchers, peer recovery specialists, and community partners to reimagine addiction treatment. We develop and implement mind-body interventions that are trauma-informed, culturally relevant, and grounded in the lived experiences of our clients.

  • Traditional care models have not adequately served our population. CICAM was created to bridge the gap between what science tells us is possible and what people in recovery actually receive. By combining data science, physical movement, neuromodulation, and staff capacity-building, we’re building a more human-centered, scalable model system of care.

  • To innovate and expand equitable, data-driven, and community-engaged solutions to addiction and mental health recovery that are:

    • Scalable to other community-based settings

    • Non-pharmacological and wellness-centered

    • Embedded in clinical practice, not siloed from it

    • Responsive to cultural identity, trauma, and lived experience
