Brien Center is a comprehensive mental health and substance abuse treatment facility located in Pittsfield, MA, dedicated to serving individuals struggling with addiction and co-occurring mental health conditions. Recognizing that recovery looks different for everyone, Brien Center provides specialized programs tailored to meet the unique needs of women, men, and individuals facing legal consequences related to DUI and DWI offenses. With a commitment to accessible, evidence-based care, Brien Center serves the greater Pittsfield area and surrounding communities as a trusted resource for those seeking help.
Brien Center offers multiple levels of care designed to match each individual's clinical needs and life circumstances. Outpatient treatment allows patients to receive therapy and counseling while maintaining their daily responsibilities at work or home, making it ideal for those with mild to moderate substance use disorders or those transitioning from intensive care. Partial hospitalization or day treatment (PHP) provides a higher intensity of structured care, with patients attending treatment sessions during the day and returning home in the evening—this option suits individuals needing more support than outpatient care but not requiring 24-hour residential services. Brien Center also utilizes buprenorphine, a medication-assisted treatment (MAT) option proven effective for opioid use disorder, helping patients manage cravings and withdrawal symptoms while engaging in counseling and recovery support. This comprehensive approach recognizes that substance abuse treatment is most effective when combined with mental health services and personalized clinical care.
Brien Center accepts a wide range of insurance plans and payment options to ensure financial barriers do not prevent access to care. Accepted payment methods include Medicaid, Medicare, private health insurance, military insurance (VA/Tricare), state-financed programs, and self-payment. Sliding fee scales are available for uninsured or underinsured individuals, and the facility works with patients to verify benefits and explore all available funding options. Insurance plans covering substance abuse treatment are required to provide the same level of coverage as other medical conditions, ensuring you can access the care you need.
