About the GRIT Program

The GRIT program by the Mental Health Association (MHA) offers residential rehabilitation for individuals with substance use challenges and co-occurring mental health conditions. GRIT provides a structured, supportive environment focused on recovery, personal growth, and long-term stability.

Residents engage in individualized counseling, recovery-focused programming, and community activities like education, job training, or employment. With locations in Springfield (men’s programs) and Holyoke (LGBTQIA+ program), GRIT combines the comforts of home with access to vital resources.

A skilled, multidisciplinary team works closely with each resident to build a strong foundation for recovery and create personalized aftercare plans for a successful return to the community.
