At the Brien Center, we understand the terrible toll that addiction has taken on you and your loved ones. Yet, we also believe that addiction is a treatable, chronic disease that can be successfully managed, much like diabetes or asthma.
We understand that for many, addiction will be a life-long challenge. All of our clients are at very different points in their journey toward recovery when they come to us for help. This may be their first attempt at recovery or their tenth. So, we meet them where they are with a comprehensive program, highly-trained clinicians, and an individualized approach to care. Our clients maintain a strong voice about treatment decisions, and we support them every step of the way.
We offer an integrated model of care, with individualized, evidence-based programming that is client-directed, person-centered and strength-based. We provide a fully integrated continuum of care with treatment that may include:. Assessmen t of substance use disorders Evaluation and treatment of co-occurring disorders mental health and substance use Individual and family counseling Specialized addiction groups are open to individuals currently working with a Brien Center therapist.
Participants cannot attend groups under the influence of drugs or alcohol. Our groups include the following:. Access Group: This group allows rapid access to a group facilitated by a trained counselor to hear about services and levels of care and to ask individualized questions. Enhanced Outpatient Program: This program is designed to follow the Day Treatment program in our continuum of care for substance use disorders.
This program also offers enhanced treatment for working individuals. Skillful Recovery Group: This group explores mindfulness-based skills for recovering individuals who seek to learn healthy ways of dealing with environmental stressors, powerful emotions, urges and cravings. The group is intended for participants that have achieved a foundation in recovery. Appropriate for women both in long term recovery as well as those still struggling. Certificates of attendance are awarded to those members who attend eight weekly sessions in a row.
