About Baystate Brightwood Health Center
Tucked in a quiet area of Springfield, Massachusetts, Baystate Brightwood Health Center offers many health services including primary and behavioral health, midwifery and infectious disease.
They offer medication assisted treatment for substance use disorder. You’ll work with your clinician to target your addiction from two angles. The medication is non-habit-forming and will help curb cravings for opiates or alcohol. You’ll work through the root causes of your addiction in therapy sessions as well as chart a new path forward for a future without substance abuse.
Their outpatient or partial hospitalization programs help over 10,000 clients each year. They also offer recovery coaches who have lived experience of addiction and its impact on your life.
I like their empower program which is to help pregnant women with opioid use disorder or history of overdose. This community based program offers resources, support and parenting help. This team will work with your OB/GYN team and other community providers to get you all the support you need during pregnancy and after delivery.
Baystate accepts many insurance plans including those offered by Aetna, Beacon, Blue Cross Blue Shield, Cigna of Massachusetts, Connecticare of Massachusetts, Medicare, Health New England and Harvard Pilgrim Health Care.

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.

Treatment
Mental Health
Mental health rehabs focus on helping individuals recover from mental illnesses like bipolar disorder, clinical depression, anxiety disorders, schizophrenia, and more. Mental health professionals at these facilities are trained to understand and treat mental health issues, both in individual and group settings.
Clinical Services
Group Therapy
Group therapy is any therapeutic work that happens in a group (not one-on-one). There are a number of different group therapy modalities, including support groups, experiential therapy, psycho-education, and more. Group therapy involves treatment as well as processing interaction between group members.
Individual Therapy
In individual therapy, a patient meets one-on-one with a trained psychologist or counselor. Therapy is a pivotal part of effective substance abuse treatment, as it often covers root causes of addiction, including challenges faced by the patient in their social, family, and work/school life.
