About Clinical and Support Options – Greenfield
In the idyllic town of Greenfield, Massachusetts, you’ll find the Clinical and Support Options (CSO) Franklin County office. CSO operates as a community based nonprofit agency focused on providing a wide range of mental health and social services in all the communities they serve. Their Franklin County office is a hub for many of these services, including their outpatient and intensive outpatient treatments for alcohol and drug addictions.
As a nonprofit, they rely on donations and grants to help keep the costs of their services as low as possible, often providing free help to people who need it. They can also offer financial assistance and accept patients on MassHealth.
At the Franklin County location, CSO offers its intensive outpatient program (IOP). In this three week program, CSO helps their patients focus intently on their needs and lay a foundation for longer term recovery.
In addition to individual counseling and therapy, participants must attend group treatment sessions as well as separate meetings where they go through a 12 step program with a different group of people in recovery. The program also requires participants to attend Alcoholics or Narcotics Anonymous meetings at least three times per week.
CSO’s multidisciplinary staff is also trained to help with other behavioral health needs, many of which often occur with or from substance addictions. Their broader outpatient services include and tie in with structured outpatient addiction treatment, psychiatric services, case management services, and medication management.
They even have a nursing staff that can help coach patients on how best to approach looking after their physical health along with their mental and behavioral health.
