Outpatient Mental Health and Substance Abuse Care

One feature that stood out to me was Beech Brook's emphasis on comprehensive, individual care. Though group therapy, outside of family-centered therapy, is not available, they offer psychotherapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, and dual diagnoses treatment of mental health disorders and substance misuse disorders.

They approach its services through the lens of trauma-informed care. All therapies used in addiction treatment are framed by a physically and emotionally safe environment. This applies to cognitive behavioral therapy, psychotherapy, and family-centered care, Beech Brook seeks to address both the personal and psychosocial facets to addiction treatment.

Whether you're working through substance use disorder, or a co-occurring disorder, Beech brook adopts a holistic approach to support. They recognize that your recovery should account for your physical, psychological, emotional, and communal well-being. While they work with you to address the causes of your dual diagnoses, Beech Brook also offers counseling for your parents, children, and other family members participating in your recovery.
