About

About Behavioral Health Network Inc Carlson Recovery Center

Carlson Recovery Center is Behavioral Health Network’s flagship substance use treatment program in Springfield, Massachusetts. As part of BHN’s broader continuum, the center provides medical detoxification, short-term residential recovery, and outpatient services for adults navigating substance use disorders and co-occurring mental health concerns. BHN’s HEART values — humanity, equity, accountability, respect, and trustworthiness — anchor the organization’s clinical and operational culture.

The substance use continuum at Carlson and across BHN includes withdrawal management (detox), residential recovery, inpatient services, outpatient services with medication addiction clinics, and court-related programs for clients with legal-system involvement. Cognitive behavioral therapy is the core evidence-based modality, and trauma-informed care is integrated throughout. Co-occurring trauma/PTSD and dual-diagnosis conditions are treated within the same clinical framework rather than referred elsewhere.

Services are offered in both English and Spanish, reflecting Springfield’s substantial bilingual community. The center accepts a wide range of payers: Medicaid, Medicare, private insurance, TRICARE, state insurance, sliding scale, financial assistance, and self-pay. BHN’s BHN WellBeing Centers — Community Behavioral Health Centers in Springfield and Westfield — provide same-day services, extended hours, and 24/7 crisis assessment and stabilization, ensuring that clients facing acute substance use or mental health crises have rapid access to care.

Populations served include pregnant women, young adults, men, women, deaf and hard-of-hearing patients, and court-ordered clients. BHN is CARF accredited and operates with capacity for residential admissions. According to recent BHN communications, Carlson Recovery Center is undergoing programming updates as the organization continues to evolve its addiction services. Prospective clients should contact BHN at (413) 301-WELL (9355) to confirm current program availability, intake timelines, and which BHN site best matches their clinical needs.
