About Gandara Mental Health Center Outpatient Behavioral Health

Gandara Mental Health Center is an outpatient behavioral health and substance use treatment facility. They have several locations, including the one on St. George Road in a secluded corner of the industrial sector of Springfield, Massachusetts. This location offers medication assisted treatment (MAT) for substance use detox. They have a culturally sensitive program with most classes offered in Spanish and English.

They offer a structured outpatient addiction program (SOAP) that lasts 3-6 weeks. It’s a program that helps clients achieve abstinence and maintain their recovery from drugs or alcohol. The program is Monday through Friday for 3.5 hours per day. They use different therapy modalities in the program.

The MAT program uses evidence based medications to help you wean off opioids and other drugs. You’ll also have access to recovery coaching which is free. In recovery coaching, you’ll meet with people who have personal experience with addiction. They’ll help you develop a plan to work toward your recovery goals.

There are also behavioral health services at this location. When addressing a substance use disorder, it’s important to participate in therapy and other behavioral health programs. Many people with substance use have co-occurring mental health disorders such as depression. Identifying mental health issues is key to long term sobriety because many people use substances to self-medicate for mental health symptoms.

Once you’re through the programs, you can continue to seek treatment at the clinic. They have ongoing mental health and substance use treatment services.
