About The Brien Center
The Brien Center in North Adams, Massachusetts, is recognized as Berkshire County’s leading provider of behavioral healthcare services. They offer supportive care to children, adults and families impacted by mental health challenges or co-occurring substance use disorders. They provide culturally competent care, and services are available in Spanish as well.
Their addiction recovery programs include residential treatment, which is designed for individuals transitioning from a detox program. They also offer intensive and general outpatient services as well as social services to help you safely reintegrate back into your community.
Medication assisted treatment is also available through this organization. You’ll work with different behavioral healthcare providers who will assess and determine if other recovery supports or mental health services are necessary in your case.
Medication Assisted Treatment
Chemical dependencies can be addressed effectively with the use of FDA approved medications like buprenorphine and Vivitrol, both of which are available here at the North Adams location.
When you’re able to manage cravings, you can focus on the counseling and support services available to you here. One of these services is their Suboxone recovery groups. This group is designed to help individuals currently on medication assisted treatment develop the skills to help them minimize their risk of relapse.
Specialized Recovery Groups
They also offer a specialized recovery group called Seeking Safety. This group is designed for people who have experienced trauma in their past that has contributed to their addiction struggles. Other specialized recovery groups include their women’s group, anxiety and substance use disorder group, the relapse prevention group and their skillful recovery group where you learn how to take back control of your thoughts and feelings as they relate to recovery.
