The Center for Motivation and Change (CMC) was built on a simple principle:
science, kindness, and genuine respect for clients produce better outcomes than confrontation or compliance. It is independently owned, not managed by a private equity group or larger corporate system, and clinically led by psychologists with over 25 years of experience developing and shaping evidence-based approaches to substance use and trauma treatment

CMC:

Berkshires is our 15-bed private residential program for adults with substance use disorders and co-occurring mental health conditions. Our intentionally small size allows clinicians to do meaningful, individualized work rather than high-volume, productivity-driven care.

You’ll work alongside an experienced multidisciplinary team of psychologists, therapists, physicians, psychiatrists, nurses, family clinicians, Recovery Specialists, and wellness professionals.

We’re also a training-oriented program. Clinicians receive ongoing supervision, consultation, and training in evidence-based approaches, with opportunities to deepen expertise in substance use, trauma and PTSD, OCD, family work, ADHD and executive functioning, and other co-occurring conditions.
