About The Brien Center – Child and Adolescent Services – 251 Fenn Street – Pittsfield

The Brien Center – Child and Adolescent Services is a behavioral health facility located in Pittsfield, Massachusetts. They treat children and adolescents for substance use disorder and alcohol use disorder. They also support children who have both a mental health condition and a substance use issue at the same time.

When your child comes in for their intake meeting, they will be drug tested and asked questions about their daily habits and their drug use. They will also receive a psychiatric evaluation. This will determine if they have been through a traumatic experience or if they have a mental health disorder.

Each of the kids who is treated here receives group and individual therapy. I like that they use the Adolescent Community Reinforcement Approach. This method heavily involves parents in therapy. Not only will your child receive individual therapy sessions but you will also have family therapy sessions. You can meet one-on-one with your child’s therapist if you want to discuss your child’s progress.

Practitioners of this type of therapy believe in using wraparound services to treat kids with mental health and substance issues. This means that they will build a network of supportive people around your child such as social workers, mental health professionals and family members. Each person will have a say in the methods of therapy that are used.

They have a drug prevention program for teens as well. They work with local school systems to help educate kids about the effects of drugs on their bodies and their lives.

Levels of Care

Outpatient

Outpatient Programs (OP) are for those seeking mental rehab or drug rehab, but who also stay at home every night. The main difference between outpatient treatment (OP) and intensive outpatient treatment (IOP) lies in the amount of hours the patient spends at the facility. Most of the time an outpatient program is designed for someone who has completed an inpatient stay and is looking to continue their growth in recovery. Outpatient is not meant to be the starting point, it is commonly referred to as aftercare.

Partial Hospitalization Program

A partial hospitalization program (PHP) is a short-term form of intensive rehab, usually for those with acute symptoms that are hard to manage but don’t require 24-hour care. PHPs have structured programming (i.e. individual and/or group therapy), and usually meet 3-5 days a week for around 6 hours (i.e. 9am-3m). Some PHPs are residential (patients sleep on site) and some are not, so patients sleep at home. PHPs can last from 1-6 months, and some offer transportation and meals.

Programs

Adult Program

Adult rehab programs include therapies tailored to each client's specific needs, goals, and recovery progress. They are tailored to the specific challenges adult clients may face, including family and work pressures and commitments. From inpatient and residential treatment to various levels of outpatient services, there are many options available. Some facilities also help adults work through co-occurring conditions, like anxiety, that can accompany addiction.

LGBTQ Program

Recovery is most successful when clients feel accepted and validated by their peers and treatment providers. Facilities that offer LGBTQ-inclusive programming are committed to creating a safe space where everyone can grow and recover without fear of judgment or discrimination. They will have dedicated policies in place to create a safe and supportive environment that fosters free expression.

Young Adult Program

Young adulthood can be an exciting, yet difficult, time of transition. Individuals in their late teens to mid-20s face unique stressors related to school, jobs, families, and social circles, which can lead to a rise in substance use. Rehab centers with dedicated young adult programs will include activities and amenities that cater to this age group, with an emphasis on specialized counseling, peer socialization, and ongoing aftercare.
