About The Brien Center Adult and Family Services Pittsfield

The Brien Center has 25 locations throughout Berkshire County, Massachusetts, including the Adult and Family Services Center in Pittsfield. This clinic provides adults with outpatient treatment for mental health and addiction, as well as integrated services that address both.

The Pittsfield Center accepts most public and private health insurance, including Medicaid and Medicare. If you don’t have coverage, a discounted fee scale is available.

Comprehensive Care for Mental Health and Addiction

Within Berkshire County, the Brien Center has facilities for residential addiction treatment, intensive outpatient programs for mental health and addictions, and general treatment.

The Pittsfield Center provides outpatient care that includes assessments, individual, family and group therapy, and specialized programs. This includes addiction and/or mental health treatment structured for those with court ordered care.

I noticed that there are a lot of interesting options for group therapy in the addiction treatment program. You can focus on topics like mindfulness skills, relapse prevention, anxiety, trauma recovery and medication assisted treatment (MAT). They also have gender specific groups.

Specialty programs for substance use disorder include the day treatment program, which can be followed by enhanced outpatient treatment. They also provide court ordered addiction services, MAT using buprenorphine or Vivitrol, and care coordination for those coming out of residential treatment and transitioning to outpatient care.

Programs for Those in the Justice System

Along with substance use treatment, there are specific classes for those with court ordered requirements. I also saw that the Center offers first and second offender DUI classes and clinical care. There is also a Partners Program for those who have engaged in intimate partner violence or abusive actions.

These programs help you take responsibility and learn healthy ways to communicate and handle conflict and anger. This equips you with the tools to move forward in a healthy way and avoid reoffense.

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.

Rec Room & Activities

Recreational therapy uniquely combines therapeutic interventions with an activity, like horse-riding, hiking, wilderness therapy, basketball, tennis, or a full workout. Benefits of recreational therapy include providing a healthy way to work through the emotions of recovery, learning to build and maintain relationships, improving communication skills, and building self-esteem.

Residential Setting

Residential drug rehab provides the comforts of home with the therapeutic support needed to successfully recover. Benefits of an inpatient program include increased safety, a higher success rate, and the time and distance given to focus on recovery. Residential drug rehabs are often the preferred method of treatment, as they can be tailored to meet specific needs, offer focused therapeutic care, and provide the necessary tools to sustain recovery.

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.

Inpatient Rehab

As the most intensive treatment setting, inpatient drug rehab in Massachusetts treatment involves 24/7 supervised care. At this level of care, you typically participate in individual, group, and family therapy sessions, and you may receive medication and additional recreational therapies.

Sober Living

In Massachusetts sober living, you will take on more responsibility than rehab treatment requires. You’ll pay rent and work or attend school. You’ll also contribute to household chores. The goal is to learn how to live independently, free from drugs and alcohol.

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.
