CHD - Outpatient Behavioral Health Services

The Center for Human Development (CHD) in Springfield, Massachusetts, offers a wide range of community-based programs aimed at promoting the dignity and well-being of those dealing with addiction, homelessness, and mental health issues. CHD's objective is to provide high-quality, compassionate care to various populations in need, ensuring that assistance is available to all. 
CHD provides more than 80 programs, including detoxification, inpatient rehabilitation, outpatient programs, intense outpatient programs, partial hospitalization, aftercare, and sober living arrangements. The facility prioritizes personalized care and employs evidence-based treatment methods such as Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), and the Adolescent Community Reinforcement Approach (A-CRA). Trauma-informed care is also an important component of their approach, as it addresses the influence of previous traumas on current behavior and rehabilitation. 
CHD is well-known for its strong community-centered approach, which involves providing crucial services directly to individuals in their everyday settings. The center also emphasizes preventive and early childhood intervention in order to lessen Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs). CHD, accredited by the Commission on Accreditation of Rehabilitation Facilities (CARF), is dedicated to consistently improving the quality and efficacy of its programs and services.
