Since its founding in 1919, the Austen Riggs Center in the Berkshires of western Massachusetts has been dedicated to helping adults (18+) who are struggling with complex and treatment-resistant mental disorders. Their open campus and intensive clinical engagement offer the freedom and responsibility for patients to recognize their problems, rebuild healthy relationships, and take charge of their lives.

The Austen Riggs Center achieves this mission through a multi-disciplinary approach on their beautiful New England campus. Their main goal is to help those who have struggled with treatment in the past, and they accomplish this by addressing sources of suffering, exploring the meaning of symptoms, empowering patients to take an active role in their treatment, and underscoring the importance of relationships. At the core of each patient’s treatment is four times weekly psychodynamic psychotherapy with a doctoral-level clinician. The Center has a full continuum of care that includes residential, step-down, and day treatment programs. They also offer an immersive therapeutic community program and robust activities programs that include theatre classes, ceramics, visual arts, fiber arts, woodworking, and gardening.

Care Options

Levels of Care

Mental health care includes a range of services such as counseling, therapy, medication management, and support groups, all designed to address issues from everyday stress and anxiety to more severe conditions like depression and schizophrenia. These practices are essential for helping individuals manage their emotions, improve their relationships, and navigate life's challenges in healthier, more adaptive ways.
Included
Residential
Intensive monitoring and care for conditions like depression, trauma, suicidality, and anxiety. Residential mental health facilities offer a safe setting with activities and structure, plus opportunities to practice life skills and bond with peers.
Included
Day Treatment
In a PHP, patients live at home but follow an intensive schedule of treatment. Most programs require you to be on-site for about 40 hours per week.
Included
Intensive Outpatient Program
An intensive outpatient program (IOP) falls between inpatient care and traditional outpatient services, with therapy and skills-building activities designed to support recovery and provide flexibility. IOP is ideal for those needing support but not the 24/7 care of a residential facility.
Included
Outpatient
Outpatient treatment offers flexible therapeutic and medical care without the need to stay overnight in a hospital or inpatient facility. Outpatient care typically offers a range of therapies and medical interventions individuals can attend alongside daily life.
Included
Virtual & In-Home Care
The delivery of therapeutic services utilizing technology such as video conferencing, online messaging or phone calls, allowing for flexibility, comfort and increased access to care.
