Acute Care

Addiction Treatment & Recovery Services

Comprehensive, Person-Centered Care

At the Brien Center for Mental Health and Substance Use, we understand the profound impact that addiction has on individuals, families, and communities.

We also believe strongly that addiction is a treatable, chronic health condition, similar to diabetes or asthma, that can be successfully managed with the right support, care, and long-term treatment. For many individuals, recovery is a lifelong journey with both challenges and successes.

We meet each person where they are, regardless of whether this is their first attempt at recovery or one of many. Our approach is individualized, respectful, and guided by the belief that every person deserves the opportunity to heal.

Clients are active participants in their care and are supported every step of the way by highly trained clinicians and a coordinated treatment team.
