About Johnson Memorial Hospital

Johnson Memorial Hospital is a fully integrated hospital system in Stafford, Connecticut. They offer a full range of care for clients of all ages, including emergency services, surgeries, labor and deliveries, and inpatient psychiatric treatment.

In their behavioral health department, they treat several conditions, including depression, other mood disorders, and addiction. If you’re dealing with challenges that have taken over your quality of life, they’ll help you find the care you need. Clients with acute disorders will start in their inpatient unit, where they’ll receive round the clock supervision and clinical care.

Here, they provide inpatient services for adults and seniors who need help overcoming psychiatric conditions. They also provide dual diagnosis treatment for co-occurring addictions and mental health disorders. I like that everyone starts out with a thorough evaluation, which their care team will use to create their individual treatment plan.

Your team of providers will coordinate your care through every step of your recovery journey. They also offer comprehensive discharge services to connect you with community resources as you integrate back into society.

Medical briefcase icon Levels of Care

inpatient iconInpatient

Residential treatment programs are those that offer housing and meals in addition to substance abuse treatment. Rehab facilities that offer residential treatment allow patients to focus solely on recovery, in an environment totally separate from their lives. Some rehab centers specialize in short-term residential treatment (a few days to a week or two), while others solely provide treatment on a long-term basis (several weeks to months). Some offer both, and tailor treatment to the patient's individual requirements.

check iconDual 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 iconMental 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.

inpatient-file iconCognitive Behavioral Therapy

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a therapy modality that focuses on the relationship between one's thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. It is used to establish and allow for healthy responses to thoughts and feelings (instead of unhealthy responses, like using drugs or alcohol). CBT has been proven effective for recovering addicts of all kinds, and is used to strengthen a patient's own self-awareness and ability to self-regulate. CBT allows individuals to monitor their own emotional state, become more adept at communicating with others, and manage stress without needing to engage in substance abuse.

couples-therapy iconCouples Therapy

Whether a marriage or other committed relationship, an intimate partnership is one of the most important aspects of a person's life. Drug and alcohol addiction affects both members of a couple in deep and meaningful ways, as does rehab and recovery. Couples therapy and other couples-focused treatment programs are significant parts of exploring triggers of addiction, as well as learning how to build healthy patterns to support ongoing sobriety.

dialectical iconDialectical Behavior Therapy

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) is a modified form of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), a treatment designed to help people understand and ultimately affect the relationship between their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. DBT is often used for individuals who struggle with self-harm behaviors, such as self-mutilation (cutting) and suicidal thoughts, urges, or attempts. It has been proven clinically effective for those who struggle with out-of-control emotions and mental health illnesses like Borderline Personality Disorder.

medical-detox iconExperiential Therapy

Experiential therapy is a form of therapy in which clients are encouraged to surface and work through subconscious issues by engaging in real-time experiences. Experiential therapy departs from traditional talk therapy by involving the body, and having clients engage in activities, movements, and physical and emotional expression. This can involve role-play or using props (which can include other people). Experiential therapy can help people process trauma, memories, and emotion quickly, deeply, and in a lasting fashion, leading to substantial and impactful healing.

family iconFamily 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.

intervention iconGroup Therapy

Group therapy is any therapeutic work that happens in a group (not one-on-one). There are a number of different group therapy modalities, including support groups, experiential therapy, psycho-education, and more. Group therapy involves treatment as well as processing interaction between group members.

mental-health iconIndividual Therapy

In individual therapy, a patient meets one-on-one with a trained psychologist or counselor. Therapy is a pivotal part of effective substance abuse treatment, as it often covers root causes of addiction, including challenges faced by the patient in their social, family, and work/school life.

nicotine iconNicotine Replacement Therapy

Nicotine Replacement Therapy (NRT) is a way of getting nicotine into the bloodstream without smoking. It uses products that supply low doses of nicotine to help people stop smoking. The goal of therapy is to cut down on cravings for nicotine and ease the symptoms of nicotine withdrawal.

house-medical iconTrauma 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.

The Acute Psychiatric Unit is an absolute joke and needs to be shut down. Dr. Strom refused to listen to anyone, but himself because he is the Director. I was told I had rights which were posted on the wall and he consistently ignored them and me. He took away my normal medication that I was on for over a year with my therapist. Then tried forcing me to take a med and told me that was the reason I wasn t getting out even though I have a right to refuse. Anytime I got upset with him specifically he tried to justify it by saying I was bipolar and based it on 4 10-minute conversations with him over 4 days and observational nursing notes. I was diagnosed with something completely different the day I left. The nurses rarely leave the nurses station to check in with you. There was mold all over my shower curtain and the bed smelled of urine. I was given 0 support for my ADHD or withdrawals. I never met with the dietitian and lost 5lbs over the course of 5 days. Please take care of your own family. They will return worse going here.

I don t like to leave reviews. But if you want to see your loved ones come home alive DO NO SEND THEM HERE. Worst hospital in CT by far. You are better off taking the chance of going to Baystate or Hartford instead. At least those hospitals take care of people. First time back to Johnson in years since my last hellish experience and as I was being rolled in I hear the docs and nurses talking about their patients and just the craziest and most insane stories. All these negative reviews are not exaggerating. Please, I beg you, do not ever let you or a loved one go here.

I will never go here again . I was suppose to get a refund because my insurance ended up paying what I had paid not only have I had troubleWith Johnson and my insurance for 3 years. They are now saying I do not get a refund but I owe them that money. What crooks . They say they need a copay even though I have not paid a copay at any other hospital and not had as much issues as I have had with Johnson. Johnson is the worst hospital ever and will not issue me my refund. I am so beyond pissed at This hospital . Do not come here would never recommend. Keep my money Johnson you obviously need it based off your stars. Such a scummy thing to do toSomeone keep their money .

I went to the E.R about a week ago due to concerns and had a pleasant experience and left with specific discharge instructions to return if I experienced certain symptoms. I returned to the E.R due to having said symptoms and this time around my experience was awful. I've never felt more dehumanized and poor about seeking medical care. I overheard my Dr. openly talking poorly about me to the nurses at the nursing station due to my "history ". He was very dismissive and condescending with everything that I spoke to him about. Everything I said to him he shrugged off and just kept saying "yea sure sure yea". Not only that but I reviewed all of my lab results as well as ultrasound results myself via the patient portal BEFORE he came in the room to share said info with me. However when he did come he told me everything looked perfectly normal, and there were no issues, despite my lab results saying otherwise. I was discharged shortly after, on my discharge papers was also a diagnosis I did not even go in for/seek medical attention about.

Took my 3 year old to the emergency room tonight because he has been coughing so hard he s throwing up. The nurse was great, she came in and did a Covid test that would take 45 minutes to process. I asked if we could se the doctor in the meantime. Dr. Griscom comes in and the first thing he says to me is what s the emergency? So I told him my concerns and he says what makes you think this is an emergency? We won t be able to do anything for him . Didn t offer to make sure his lungs were clear, didn t offer to take his temperature even though he had a slight temp at the precheck nurses station. He told me all we can do is wait for the Covid test to come back and even then they wouldn t give him any medication or any thing, so we left. I m writing this as my child is in his bed coughing so hard he can t sleep. Dr. Griscom is a terrible doctor with zero empathy towards people. Everyone else there was amazing, but this has been by far the biggest waste of time and money.
