Swift River is a leading national behavioral healthcare system for mental health and substance use.
We examine every aspect of a patient's health and wellbeing in order to design a course as unique as your needs. Our programs are all medically proven methods, including dual diagnosis treatment, CBT, DBT and individualized counseling - uniquely blended with outdoor adventure therapy in the soaring beauty of the Berkshire Mountains. Our customized plan of care for each client includes care under licensed, master's level therapists and a multi-disciplinary recovery team. We understand that addiction isn't always just about the drug of choice - which is why we provide effective treatment for mood and mental health disorders, along with therapy for any trauma that occurred before or during addiction. From exciting wilderness challenges to evidence-based psychotherapy, each therapeutic intervention we deliver is designed to empower a patient's sense of purpose, balance, and joy in recovery.

There’s a lot of misinformation about addiction and stigma grows in the gaps. Understanding the science helps us replace judgment with compassion and shame with solutions. Recovery is possible with the right support and clinical care.
If you or someone you love is struggling, Swift River is here to help.

When recovery becomes part of your story, it becomes part of who you are.
Nick R., Swift River alum, recently got our logo tattooed. We asked him what it meant to him in his own words:
“I found Swift River at the lowest point in my life. I did not want to go. I didn't want to feel good at all... But Swift River pulled me out and upward! And I'll never forget it.”
Nick, we are honored to have been part of your journey. Your strength and commitment to recovery inspires us 💙

Shame keeps people sick. Community helps people heal.
Getting treatment isn’t something to hide. It’s something to be proud of.
If you’re in recovery, what’s something you wish you knew before you got help? Your words could give someone the courage they need.

Healing isn’t one-size-fits-all. CBT (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy) helps reshape thought patterns. DBT (Dialectical Behavior Therapy) teaches skills to ride out big emotions. Different tools. Same goal: building a healthier, more stable life.

Big swings, bigger smiles. We loved getting together with Swift River alumni and staff for a fun night at the batting cages. More alumni events are coming in 2026, and we can’t wait to see you there! 🧢 ⚾

For anyone in recovery: if this feels a little too relatable, you’re not doing it wrong. You’re doing something brave. And yes, sometimes laughing helps.

Snow days invite reflection. While winter settles in outside, our community stayed warm indoors creating art. In art therapy, clients designed tree pieces representing where they have been, where they are now, and where they hope to go. A reminder that growth continues in every season 🌳💙

Alumni Coordinator Joann and Director of Nursing Ashley were out in the community again this week spreading support where it matters most. From donating backpacks and school supplies at Dalton Elementary, Lenox Elementary, and Kidzone Childcare to connecting with teams at Berkshire Medical Center’s urgent care in Lenox, the emergency room in Pittsfield, and the Church on the Hill in Lenox, it was a full day of showing up for our neighbors. We are grateful to be part of a community that looks out for one another 💙
