Questions people ask about Brien Center
What levels of care does Brien Center offer?
They are set up for 3 levels: outpatient, telemedicine and inpatient residential. Of the 8 centers within 14 miles of Pittsfield, 2 offer a bed.
Can you detox at Brien Center?
No. There is no detox listed near Pittsfield at all, so the first call is worth making to ask who they work with for it.
What else is near Brien Center?
The nearest other center is a few streets away, in Pittsfield, and there are 8 inside 14 miles.
Are remote sessions an option at Brien Center?
They offer telemedicine, so some of this can be done by video rather than traveling into Pittsfield.
What is there in Pittsfield that costs nothing?
Pittsfield has 26 free AA meetings as well, which is not treatment but costs nothing and needs no referral.
Who has access to my records?
A program treats the fact that you are there as confidential by default, including from whoever is paying. A mandated program reports attendance to whoever ordered it, and that is set by the order rather than by the center. Decide now who you want kept informed, because that form is easier to fill in calmly than in a crisis.
Can someone go back into treatment?
Nobody is turned away for having been through a program before. Tolerance drops during any period of abstinence, which makes the first use after treatment the most dangerous one. Ask what is arranged for the weeks after discharge specifically.
What should I bring to treatment?
Less than you think, and the medication list matters more than the clothes. Anything containing alcohol is usually refused, which catches people out on mouthwash and hand sanitizer. Ask whether there is a laundry, because the answer halves what you need to bring.
