About Gilead Community Services
Since 1968, Gilead Community Services has been helping families and individuals dealing with harrowing substance abuse issues and co-occurring mental illness in Middletown, CT. This center's focus is on assisting recoveries at their own pace. It understands that the path to healing and being drug and alcohol free can be the opposite of straight and narrow. That's why it offers intensive residential and outpatient treatment to adults that span as long as needed.
Although this organization offers residential and outpatient services, the Middletown location specializes in outpatient care. This may be the facility for you if you need outpatient care involving group and individual therapy in a structured environment. Treatment is scheduled three days a week for three-hour sessions.
When enrolled in the intensive outpatient program (IOP) you’ll participate in the substance abuse focused program that helps heal addiction and any co occurring mental health conditions. Depending on your schedule you can attend daytime or evening sessions which allows you convenient flexibility with your treatment and will help you work around work or school obligations.
You might also want to know that this center’s outpatient programs provide psychiatric evaluations, case management, medication management, and specialized gender based groups. In these groups, you could learn about anger management, stress reduction, relapse prevention, and trauma and healing.
In addition, if you only require outpatient services and not intensive outpatient services, you will only attend sessions one to three times a week. During the general outpatient program you can expect access to individual and group therapy along with medication management and relapse prevention groups.

Levels of Care
Outpatient
Outpatient Programs (OP) are for those seeking mental rehab or drug rehab, but who also stay at home every night. The main difference between outpatient treatment (OP) and intensive outpatient treatment (IOP) lies in the amount of hours the patient spends at the facility. Most of the time an outpatient program is designed for someone who has completed an inpatient stay and is looking to continue their growth in recovery. Outpatient is not meant to be the starting point, it is commonly referred to as aftercare.

Treatment
Dual Diagnosis
Many of those suffering from addiction also suffer from mental or emotional illnesses like schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, depression, or anxiety disorders. Rehab and other substance abuse facilities treating those with a dual diagnosis or co-occurring disorder administer psychiatric treatment to address the person's mental health issue in addition to drug and alcohol rehabilitation.
Mental Health
Mental health rehabs focus on helping individuals recover from mental illnesses like bipolar disorder, clinical depression, anxiety disorders, schizophrenia, and more. Mental health professionals at these facilities are trained to understand and treat mental health issues, both in individual and group settings.
Clinical Services
Motivational Interviewing
Motivational interviewing in Connecticut is a method of communication designed to stimulate motivation and commitment to change. It encourages clients to move toward goals by exploring their own motivations for change rather than coercing them to change through advice, warnings, or judgment.
Trauma Therapy
Trauma therapy addresses traumatic incidents from a client's past that are likely affecting their present-day experience. Trauma is often one of the primary triggers and potential causes of addiction, and can stem from child sexual abuse, domestic violence, having a parent with a mental illness, losing one or both parents at a young age, teenage or adult sexual assault, or any number of other factors. The purpose of trauma therapy is to allow a patient to process trauma and move through and past it, with the help of trained and compassionate mental health professionals.
Family Therapy
Research clearly demonstrates that recovery is far more successful and sustainable when loved ones like family members participate in rehab and substance abuse treatment. Genetic factors may be at play when it comes to drug and alcohol addiction, as well as mental health issues. Family dynamics often play a critical role in addiction triggers, and if properly educated, family members can be a strong source of support when it comes to rehabilitation.
Recreational Therapy
Recreational therapy is a dynamic approach to addiction recovery in Connecticut. It integrates activities like music therapy, team sports, and creative writing as a therapeutic outlet to express your emotions and feelings. These activities also improve your physical health and help you develop new skills that support a sober lifestyle.
