About Providence Behavioral Health Hospital
MiraVista Behavioral Health Center, formerly Providence Behavioral Health Systems, is a mental health treatment facility in Holyoke, Massachusetts. This Joint Commission accredited facility provides inpatient psychiatric care, intensive outpatient substance use treatment, and dual diagnosis care services. MiraVista welcomes and is dedicated to the safety of LGBTQIA+ people in their program.
Not everyone needs a 30+ day stay to address their mental health concerns, nor can everyone afford to take extended time off for treatment. What I like about MiraVista’s inpatient program is that it’s focused on rapid stabilization, meaning clients are introduced to recovery concepts and practices over one or two weeks. From there, they can continue treatment with other community services or the facility’s own outpatient program. Clients who do require a longer, more intensive stay may be referred to another facility and program.
MiraVista Behavioral Health Center accepts Medicare, MassHealth, and commercial insurance plans. They also have a sliding fee scale and discounts based on your family size and income.

Levels of Care
Outpatient
Providence Behavioral Health Hospital provides outpatient substance abuse treatment services to the residents of Western Massachusetts. These services include: individual, family and group outpatient substance abuse counseling for people who are addicted to drugs or alcohol, and counseling for individuals who are affected by the substance abuse of a relative or other loved one.
Inpatient
At Providence Behavioral Health Hospital in Holyoke, their acute treatment services / inpatient substance use disorder treatment program can put you on the right track with the focused treatment, education, and tools you need to safely stop using drugs or alcohol and live a productive, successful and satisfying life. For adults who are in crisis and experiencing severe mental health symptoms, the Adult Psychiatric Unit at Providence Behavioral Health Hospital provides short-term admission for intensive diagnostic evaluation and treatment.
Medically Assisted Detox
Their Enhanced Acute Treatment Service provides a broad range of service, including substance withdrawal management under careful medical supervision and psychiatric evaluation and treatment. Most individuals receiving treatment are experiencing symptoms related to stopping opioids (heroin or prescription painkillers) or alcohol, benzodiazepines, or other sedatives and all have co-occurring mental health disorders.
24-Hour Clinical Care
At certain points in the recovery process, it's important to have support available 24/7. 24-hour clinical care offers a safe environment in which to recover from drug or alcohol addiction in peace, knowing medical detox and other treatment will happen with professionals on hand.
Intensive Outpatient
Pathways, an intensive outpatient treatment program for any person suffering from the negative consequences of substance abuse or chemical dependency. The program allows individuals who may need more intensive services than traditional outpatient treatment to continue to address their substance abuse in a structured program 3 to 5 sessions per week while continuing to live in the community.
Intervention Services
Intervention services helps family or friends of addicts stage an intervention, which is a meeting in which loved ones share their concerns and attempt to get an addict into treatment. Professional intervention specialists can help loved ones organize, gather, and communicate with an addict. They can guide intervention participants in describing the damage the addict's behavior is causing and that outside help is necessary to address the addiction. The ideal outcome of an intervention is for the addict to go to rehab and get the help they need.
Aftercare Support
To help their patients manage their illness after they’re discharged from the hospital, they offer each patient care throughout their continuum with linkage to their intensive outpatient programs, traditional outpatient services and opioid treatment programs for treatment with methadone or buprenorphine. Patients are linked with community providers who can provide the aftercare services they need to maintain and add to the gains they’ve made in their program. These providers include primary care physicians, mental health providers, case management services, and longer-term residential treatment.

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
When someone is struggling with both drug or alcohol use and mental health symptoms, treating both illnesses at the same time can improve the chances of success on both fronts. That’s why Providence Behavioral Health Hospital offers a comprehensive Enhanced Acute Treatment Service for individuals who have these co-occurring issues – providing a vital first step in patients’ ongoing recovery process.
Mental Health and Substance Abuse
A combined mental health and substance abuse rehab has the staff and resources available to handle individuals with both mental health and substance abuse issues. It can be challenging to determine where a specific symptom stems from (a mental health issue or an issue related to substance abuse), so mental health and substance abuse professionals are helpful in detangling symptoms and keeping treatment on track.
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.
Clinical Services
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a therapy modality that focuses on the relationship between one's thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. It is used to establish and allow for healthy responses to thoughts and feelings (instead of unhealthy responses, like using drugs or alcohol). CBT has been proven effective for recovering addicts of all kinds, and is used to strengthen a patient's own self-awareness and ability to self-regulate. CBT allows individuals to monitor their own emotional state, become more adept at communicating with others, and manage stress without needing to engage in substance abuse.
Couples Therapy
Whether a marriage or other committed relationship, an intimate partnership is one of the most important aspects of a person's life. Drug and alcohol addiction affects both members of a couple in deep and meaningful ways, as does rehab and recovery. Couples therapy and other couples-focused treatment programs are significant parts of exploring triggers of addiction, as well as learning how to build healthy patterns to support ongoing sobriety.
Experiential Therapy
Experiential therapy is a form of therapy in which clients are encouraged to surface and work through subconscious issues by engaging in real-time experiences. Experiential therapy departs from traditional talk therapy by involving the body, and having clients engage in activities, movements, and physical and emotional expression. This can involve role-play or using props (which can include other people). Experiential therapy can help people process trauma, memories, and emotion quickly, deeply, and in a lasting fashion, leading to substantial and impactful healing.
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.
Nutrition Therapy
Nutrition therapy, aka medical nutrition therapy (MNT), is a way of treating physical, emotional, and medical conditions through diet. Specific dietary plans are designed by professional nutritionists or registered dietitians, and patients follow them in order to positively affect their physical and mental health.
Trauma Therapy
Trauma therapy addresses traumatic incidents from a client's past that are likely affecting their present-day experience. Trauma is often one of the primary triggers and potential causes of addiction, and can stem from child sexual abuse, domestic violence, having a parent with a mental illness, losing one or both parents at a young age, teenage or adult sexual assault, or any number of other factors. The purpose of trauma therapy is to allow a patient to process trauma and move through and past it, with the help of trained and compassionate mental health professionals.
