Acute Care
Who We Serve
At The Brien Center, we serve individuals and families across Berkshire County who are facing mental health challenges, substance use disorders, or co-occurring conditions. Our services are available to people of all ages, backgrounds, and circumstances—because everyone deserves access to compassionate, high-quality behavioral health care.
We support:
- Children & Adolescents
- Facing emotional, behavioral, or developmental challenges—at home, at school, or in the community.
- Adults & Older Adults
- Managing mental health concerns, substance use, trauma, or dual diagnoses—seeking recovery, stability, and independence.
- Families & Caregivers
- Navigating the complexities of behavioral health needs, while building resilience and healing together.
- People in Crisis
- In need of immediate support for urgent mental health or substance use concerns—available 24/7 through our crisis response services.
- Individuals with Complex Needs
- Including those with serious mental illness (SMI), co-occurring conditions, or involvement with other systems (such as housing, legal, or child welfare).
- Underserved & At-Risk Populations
- Including individuals who are uninsured, underinsured, unhoused, justice-involved, or living in poverty—because access to care should never depend on income or status.
Our Promise
We provide services that are:
- Culturally competent and trauma-informed
- Grounded in dignity, equity, and respect
- Accessible regardless of insurance status or ability to pay
Wherever you are on your journey, The Brien Center is here to walk alongside you—with care that meets you where you are, and helps you get where you want to go.
