About Brookside Community Health Center – Boston
Brookside Community Health Center is an outpatient treatment center for addiction and behavioral health in Jamaica Plain, Massachusetts. It’s a helpful and accessible resource for adults and children including adolescents throughout the Boston area. This treatment center is part of the Brigham and Women’s healthcare network.
For people who are dealing with alcohol or drug addiction at any age this community center has personalized therapy and treatment options. The staff includes addiction specialists and behavioral health experts like psychiatrists and counselors so they can help with not only addiction but other mental and behavioral health issues.
Based on clients’ feedback this clinic does suffer from an issue that’s common in community centers which is not having enough staff to take care of their patient load. This particularly an issue when it comes to scheduling and wait times but clients do say that the providers here are excellent and really care.
They also have some free services for mothers and their newborns. There’s free food and nutrition programs, referrals to social services, and even passes to local museums and cultural centers and farmer’s markets.
What really strikes me most about this rehab though is how much effort they’ve put into bringing addiction care to everyone. Accessibility is a top priority here and you can get treatment regardless of your ability to pay. The staff is also fluent in English and Spanish and the Brigham and Women’s translation service can translate into any other language for you too.
