The Center for Motivation and Change (CMC) in New Marlborough, Massachusetts provides evidence-based treatment for addiction and co-occurring mental health conditions in a serene, supportive environment. Located on a 200-acre property less than three hours from New York City and Boston, this residential facility houses just 15 clients, allowing for highly personalized care. The treatment approach at CMC:Berkshires emphasizes helping clients discover their own meaningful reasons for change, focusing not just on stopping problematic behaviors but on building fulfilling lives. Their comprehensive program includes multiple weekly individual therapy sessions, daily group therapy, and regular family therapy. The 12-person clinical team, led by a board-certified psychiatrist and including psychologists and master's-level clinicians, offers a range of therapeutic modalities including CBT, DBT, and specialized trauma treatments such as EMDR, Somatic Experiencing, and Cognitive Processing Therapy. Unlike many programs, CMC:Berkshires provides non-12-Step care by default, incorporating traditional 12-Step principles only when desired by clients. The facility itself balances clinical excellence with comfort, featuring private bedrooms with en-suite bathrooms, extensive grounds with a pond for kayaking and fishing, and amenities like an outdoor yoga deck and driving range. Their flexible technology policies allow clients to maintain necessary connections while focusing on recovery, creating a realistic environment for practicing new skills and preparing for life after treatment.
