About Berkshire Medical Center Psychiatry & Behavioral Health

Berkshire Medical Center Psychiatry & Behavioral Health is a hospital based addiction treatment and mental health provider in Pittsfield, Massachusetts, offering a full continuum of care for substance use and psychiatric disorders.

We like that the programs include medically monitored detoxification, inpatient stabilization and outpatient services for adults and teens. Clients appreciate the abundant, caring staff and the clean, safe environment that supports both physical and emotional recovery.

Medically Monitored Detox and Long Term Stabilization

The center provides medically monitored detox at the 21 bed McGee Recovery Center and a Long Term Stabilization Program (30 beds, average 14 day stay) to bridge detox and community based residential care.

We like that they also offer a 20 bed Adult Acute Behavioral Health unit for co-occurring mental health and substance use crises, partial hospitalization (PHP) for adults with in person and virtual options and a youth intensive outpatient program (IOP) for teens held after school. All programs include individual counseling, group therapy, relapse prevention and aftercare planning.

Who Can Receive Treatment Here?

Adults 18 years and older with alcohol or drug addiction, co-occurring mental health disorders, or acute psychiatric needs can access detox, stabilization, inpatient and PHP services. Teens receive age specific support through the youth intensive outpatient program. We like that this program includes family sessions and psychiatric care and women with a history of substance use can receive prenatal and postnatal support through the Berkshire Connection for Women program.

Amenities

Private Rehab

Private drug rehab provides a comfortable, secure environment that allows you to focus on doing the work to get your life back on track. Benefits include a higher staff-to-client ratio, increased one-on-one time with therapists and healthcare providers, private rooms for clients, and customized forms of therapy.

Addiction Treatment Programs

Adult Program

Each adult program in Massachusetts is designed to help individuals over the age of 18 recover from addiction to drugs or alcohol. The length of the program and its intensity varies, based on the needs of the individual.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

Cognitive behavioral therapy in Massachusetts is a hands-on method that engages participants in changing their thought and behavior patterns. Rather than a talk-listen approach, individuals are actively involved in working with their therapist to treat their addiction.

LGBTQ Friendly Rehab

LGBTQ-friendly rehab in Massachusetts offers programs targeted to the unique experiences within this diverse community. Staff specialists understand that an environment promoting acceptance makes it easier for people to open up and focus on healing.

Senior Drug & Alcohol Rehab

Elderly rehab in Massachusetts addresses both addiction issues and common challenges faced by older adults. By dealing with grief, loss, social isolation, and financial uncertainty, participants are given tools to overcome addiction later in life.

Teen & Adolescent Program

Teen and young adult substance abuse can set individuals on a life-long path of destruction. A young adult program in Massachusetts can intervene in young adults’ lives to set them on a better path during this crucial stage of life.

Levels of Care

Outpatient Rehab

Massachusetts outpatient rehab does not have a defined timeline. The program is tailored to meet your recovery needs, and may last 90 days or a year or more. During this time, you will attend therapy sessions and support group meetings, for ongoing accountability and development of sober-living skills.

Dual Diagnosis & Mental Health

If you meet the diagnostic criteria for two or more conditions, you have a dual diagnosis. Massachusetts dual diagnosis treatment is designed to address both conditions simultaneously, for improved recovery outcomes.

Aftercare & Alumni Program

Aftercare rehab in Massachusetts gives you continued access to support after rehab. You may need assistance with job coaching, budgeting, education, or accountability as you re-enter your life. Aftercare programs provide these supports, so you can face challenges and maintain a sober lifestyle long-term.

Detox & MAT

The first step to a drug-free future is detox. This involves slowly and safely ridding your body of all addictive substances, under 24/7 supervision. This is typically the initial phase of drug rehab in Massachusetts.

Drug & Alcohol Intervention

You don’t have to be an expert on interventions to help an addicted loved one. Staff members offer intervention services in Massachusetts, providing support when planning and facilitating an intervention, connecting you with community resources, and helping with the development of your loved one's treatment plan.

Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP)

Partial hospitalization programs (PHPs) in Massachusetts provide many of the same treatment services as an inpatient program, but you don’t have to stay overnight. PHPs often provide a bridge between inpatient and outpatient treatment.

Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP)

Payment Options

Self-Pay Options

If you prefer to take control of the cost of your treatment, you can opt to pay for it yourself through self-pay options, also known as private pay. This option provides access to all levels of care — from detox to inpatient rehabilitation — because you’re not limited by the rules of insurers or state-run programs.

Private Insurance

If you have private insurance, you can use it to help cover the cost of treatment. Most rehab insurance policies tend to have different coverage rates and costs that policyholders are responsible for paying, so check with your insurer for detailed information.

Medicaid Accepted

If you're in need of financial assistance, MassHealth may be an option for you. MassHealth can help pay for all levels of care, including detox and inpatient rehabilitation.

Financial Aid

If you're struggling to pay for treatment, financial aid may be a solution for you. This can provide access to all levels of care. Financial assistance options include grants, scholarships, non-profit programs, personal funding, and health insurance programs to help you manage the expense of substance abuse treatment.

Medicare Accepted

As a resident of Massachusetts with MassHealth Senior Care Options, you may have coverage options to help with the cost of treatment. The amount of coverage will depend on many things, including whether you are seeking inpatient or outpatient treatment for substance abuse.

TRICARE

Administered by the Department of Defense, TRICARE offers comprehensive military health insurance plans for active and retired military members and their families. Similar to PPO programs offered by private insurance companies, TRICARE covers multiple levels of care for addiction treatment, including detox, inpatient rehab, and outpatient services.
