About Carlson Center
Behavioral Health Network’s Carlson Recovery Center is a drug and alcohol addiction treatment center for adults located in Springfield, Massachusetts. They provide specialized levels of care, including medically supervised detox, inpatient treatment, partial hospitalization and intensive outpatient programs and aftercare support. They focus on evidence based practices and individuals receive comprehensive support tailored to their unique needs throughout the rehabilitation process.
Their medically supervised detoxification program helps clients safely and comfortably withdraw from alcohol, opioids and other substances. Experienced medical professionals closely monitor individuals to manage withdrawal symptoms and promote stability during this critical phase.
Following detox, you may transition into the inpatient rehabilitation program. This program provides intensive, round the clock care within a secure and supportive environment. They use a combination of therapies and individualized treatment plans and you’ll receive comprehensive support to address the underlying causes of addiction and develop essential coping skills.
Their outpatient programs are a step down from inpatient care and allow clients to receive treatment without living on campus. Through their outpatient services, they provide ongoing support for patients who have completed higher levels of treatment or require flexible treatment options. Outpatient services include therapy sessions, counseling and access to community resources to support individuals in maintaining their recovery efforts.
Their services offer structured treatment during the day which allows individuals to return home or reside in a supportive living environment. This level of care provides intensive therapy, counseling and skill building sessions to support individuals in their recovery journey while promoting their reintegration into daily life.
If you require a lower level of care then you can participate in intensive outpatient services. This program follows a comprehensive treatment approach that incorporates counseling and educational sessions focused on relapse prevention, personal growth and sustained progress toward recovery.
Following treatment, providers may connect you to local resources that can support your continued recovery. This may include linkages to sober living residences, transportation, food assistance and related services.

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.
Medically Assisted Detox
The Carlson Recovery Center Detoxification Program provides medically monitored detoxification services for individuals withdrawing from alcohol and other drugs. The program offers both a detoxification component, for safe withdrawal from alcohol and drugs, and a treatment component of care. The treatment component is based on sound recovery principles, with a focus on assisting participants to develop a plan to continue their recovery after discharge.
Intensive Outpatient
Intensive Outpatient Programs (IOP) are for those who want or need a very structured treatment program but who also wish to live at home and continue with certain responsibilities (such as work or school). IOP substance abuse treatment programs vary in duration and intensity, and certain outpatient rehab centers will offer individualized treatment programs.
Inpatient
Residential treatment programs are those that offer housing and meals in addition to substance abuse treatment. Rehab facilities that offer residential treatment allow patients to focus solely on recovery, in an environment totally separate from their lives. Some rehab centers specialize in short-term residential treatment (a few days to a week or two), while others solely provide treatment on a long-term basis (several weeks to months). Some offer both, and tailor treatment to the patient's individual requirements.
Aftercare Support
Completing a drug or alcohol rehab program shouldn't spell the end of substance abuse treatment. Aftercare involves making a sustainable plan for recovery, including ongoing support. This can include sober living arrangements like halfway houses, career counseling, and setting a patient up with community programs like Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) or Narcotics Anonymous (NA).

Treatment
Alcoholism
The goal of treatment for alcoholism is abstinence. Those with poor social support, poor motivation, or psychiatric disorders tend to relapse within a few years of treatment. For these people, success is measured by longer periods of abstinence, reduced use of alcohol, better health, and improved social functioning. Recovery and Maintenance are usually based on 12 step programs and AA meetings.
Drug Addiction
Addiction is a highly complex problem, and drug rehab in Massachusetts is often necessary to address it. These programs treat physical, mental, and relational issues that are involved. Treatment empowers individuals to manage these issues without the use of drugs.
Dual Diagnosis
The Dual Diagnosis Track (Enhanced Acute Treatment Services), a specialized component of the Detoxification Program, provides detoxification services for people with both mental illness and substance use disorders, who are insured by the Massachusetts Behavioral Health Partnership, and who meet the criteria for Massachusetts Department of Mental Health services. Appropriate individuals for this track have both addiction and mental health diagnoses, but do not require a locked facility. In addition to the group programming and individual counseling that is part of the Detoxification Program, these individuals receive enhanced detoxification services, including psychiatric evaluation by the Psychiatrist or Clinical Nurse Specialist, psychiatric medications and follow-up services, specialized groups and specialized individual treatment.
Opioid Addiction
Opioid rehabs specialize in supporting those recovering from opioid addiction. They treat those suffering from addiction to illegal opioids like heroin, as well as prescription drugs like oxycodone. These centers typically combine both physical as well as mental and emotional support to help stop addiction. Physical support often includes medical detox and subsequent medical support (including medication), and mental support includes in-depth therapy to address the underlying causes of addiction.
Substance Abuse
Substance rehabs focus on helping individuals recover from substance abuse, including alcohol and drug addiction (both illegal and prescription drugs). They often include the opportunity to engage in both individual as well as group therapy.
Clinical Services
Family Therapy
Research clearly demonstrates that recovery is far more successful and sustainable when loved ones like family members participate in rehab and substance abuse treatment. Genetic factors may be at play when it comes to drug and alcohol addiction, as well as mental health issues. Family dynamics often play a critical role in addiction triggers, and if properly educated, family members can be a strong source of support when it comes to rehabilitation.
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.
