What the SAMHSA Record Shows About Brightside for Families and Children

Brightside for Families and Children is a mental health treatment operated by Private non-profit organization in Springfield, Massachusetts. The facility's N-SUMHSS record lists 1 primary care modality (outpatient), which shapes both how treatment is delivered and how intake is scheduled. MAT is not listed in the current record; callers seeking medication-assisted options should verify directly or check the rankings pages for nearby providers that do offer MAT. The full postal address on file is 300 Stafford Street, Suite 306, Springfield, MA 01104.

On the services side, the facility self-reports 3 distinct service lines (Co-occurring disorder treatment, Mental health treatment, Outpatient), 0 substance or condition categories treated, and 2 clinical treatment approaches (Couples/family therapy, Individual psychotherapy). It serves 7 specific population groups (Adolescents, Adults, Children with serious emotional disturbance, Persons affected by intimate partner violence, Persons who have experienced trauma, and 2 more) with 1 language of care (Spanish). Those figures give a rough signal of programmatic breadth, a higher number of approaches and populations usually indicates more structured clinical programming rather than a single-modality operation. Payment-wise, the record confirms Medicaid, private insurance, plus 2 specific payment methods enumerated in the survey (Medicaid, Private health insurance).

Brightside for Families and Children's SAMHSA record documents fewer attributes (16) than the typical Massachusetts facility (state median: 34, out of 415 listed statewide). That is common for smaller or newly-surveyed programs and does not mean fewer services are actually offered, it means fewer were self-reported to SAMHSA.
