my adult daughter missed an appt (they always did contact her day before as reminder - mentally ill people don't often stay on track), never contacted her before or after the appt. sent her meds to pharm in january. she called office early feb & they said she was dismissed because he missed an appt.she apologized & said she didn't recall having an appt & they always used to send a reminder. It was bascially "tough luck" no meds and no appt for you and she stands to lose her job without the meds. Mike is good. Policies for mentally ill people are horrble

Other Forms of Payment

Private insurance refers to any kind of healthcare coverage that isn't from the state or federal government. This includes individual and family plans offered by an employer or purchased from the Insurance Marketplace. Every plan will have different requirements and out of pocket costs so be sure to get the full details before you start treatment.

Self-pay involves paying for treatment out of your own pocket. You can use savings or credit, get a personal loan, or receive help from family and friends to fund your treatment. If you don't have insurance or your insurance plan doesn't cover a specific program, self-pay can help ensure you still get the care you need.

Medicaid is a state based program that helps lower-income individuals and families pay for healthcare. Medicaid covers addiction treatment so those enrolled can use their coverage to pay for rehab. When a program accepts Medicaid the client often pays very little or nothing out of their own pocket.

Medicare is a federal program that provides health insurance for those 65 and older. It also serves people under 65 with chronic and disabling health challenges. To use Medicare for addiction treatment you need to find a program that accepts Medicare and is in network with your plan. Out of pocket costs and preauthorization requirements vary, so always check with your provider.

Addiction Treatments

Levels of Care

outpatient iconOutpatient
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.

Treatments

The goal of treatment for alcoholism is abstinence. Those with poor social support, poor motivation, or psychiatric disorders tend to relapse within a few years of treatment. For these people, success is measured by longer periods of abstinence, reduced use of alcohol, better health, and improved social functioning. Recovery and Maintenance are usually based on 12 step programs and AA meetings.

Drug rehab in Connecticut provides the professional support that is often necessary to break free from drug dependency. With proper treatment, individuals can make changes that restore balance and health to their lives and achieve long-term recovery.

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.

A combined mental health and substance abuse rehab has the staff and resources available to handle individuals with both mental health and substance abuse issues. It can be challenging to determine where a specific symptom stems from (a mental health issue or an issue related to substance abuse), so mental health and substance abuse professionals are helpful in detangling symptoms and keeping treatment on track.

Opioid rehabs specialize in supporting those recovering from opioid addiction. They treat those suffering from addiction to illegal opioids like heroin, as well as prescription drugs like oxycodone. These centers typically combine both physical as well as mental and emotional support to help stop addiction. Physical support often includes medical detox and subsequent medical support (including medication), and mental support includes in-depth therapy to address the underlying causes of addiction.

Programs

adult-program thumbnail image
Adult Program
Adult rehab programs include therapies tailored to each client's specific needs, goals, and recovery progress. They are tailored to the specific challenges adult clients may face, including family and work pressures and commitments. From inpatient and residential treatment to various levels of outpatient services, there are many options available. Some facilities also help adults work through co-occurring conditions, like anxiety, that can accompany addiction.
program-for-men thumbnail image
Program For Men
Men face specific challenges and concerns when seeking addiction treatment. Gender-specific recovery programs help them tackle these issues head-on in an environment that's focused, targeted, and distraction-free. It also gives them the opportunity to connect with and learn from other men who have been through a similar journey and can offer support for the next step.
program-for-women thumbnail image
Program For Women
Rehabs for women provide a safe, nurturing space for female clients to heal. These treatment programs consider the specific obstacles that women can face during recovery and place a special emphasis on mental, social, physical, and reproductive health. They explore how each woman's experience has shaped the trajectory of their substance use, addressing issues such as sexual abuse and past trauma.
young-adult-program thumbnail image
Young Adult Program
Young adulthood can be an exciting, yet difficult, time of transition. Individuals in their late teens to mid-20s face unique stressors related to school, jobs, families, and social circles, which can lead to a rise in substance use. Rehab centers with dedicated young adult programs will include activities and amenities that cater to this age group, with an emphasis on specialized counseling, peer socialization, and ongoing aftercare.

Clinical Services

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.

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.

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.

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 sessions work to strengthen the family unit by addressing addiction related conflicts and fostering support between family members. Your therapist guides family members in developing effective communication strategies and creating an environment that aids in your loved one's recovery.

I was there for a while and they change my psychiatric twice for no reason. I don't even know who they are because they keep rescheduling my appointments and they do not tell me why.

On January 10, 2023, I had the unfortunate experience of meeting with Morgan Jennings, APRN. Even though I had never had a prior appointment with this supposed nurse practitioner, she refused to refill a prescription for a medication that I had been taking (with great success) for 3 months, citing holistic concerns. I found her reasoning laughable, especially since 3 psychiatrists over a 15-year period had no problem issuing a prescription for this medication with full knowledge of my previous eating disorder! Amazing how someone with far less medical training and expertise knows more than board-certified physicians! She also indicated in her after-visit summary that I appeared unkempt (disheveled). I apologize for not meeting Ms. Jennings grooming standards, however, I truly doubt this overly critical, judgmental b**ch will be appearing on the cover of Vogue anytime in the near future. However, thank you for the insulting comments!Since Hartford Healthcare has not bothered to respond to the plethora of 1-star reviews left within the last year, I m assuming that we are not worth their effort because we are perceived as mentally ill or because we receive Husky/Medicaid, or both. However, I advise anyone seeking redress for their egregious neglect to consider proceeding as I have by contacting the CT Department of Mental Health and Addiction Services, the CT Department of Public Health, and finally CT Husky Healthcare to file formal complaints against this clinic, as well as the individual providers. Currently I have a meeting scheduled with a Legal Aid counselor to discuss any civil litigation related to Ms Jennings abrupt dismissal of my medication without initiating a slow withdrawal to mitigate any adverse side effects.

Brought up concerns about potentially having ADHD, and I was accused of seeking out drugs when all I wanted was answers. Recently got a new psychiatrist at a different practice, and within weeks I was diagnosed with ADHD.

I was going here for almost 2 years and no showed once because I wasn t given a reminder and forgot, then I showed up for my next appt at 7:50 where I was told it was supposed to be for 7:40 and that I was discharged and couldn t come back. I asked to speak to the doctor (Dr. Mike) but he refused so I sat there for an hour and he finally came out to talk to me but he didn t even really care to try to help me continue to see him just said there was nothing he could do. Receptionists are lazy and rude. Also I had tried to talk to him on the phone a few months ago about possible interactions with my medicine and cold medication but never got a call back. Don t let them fool you they don t actually care about you you re just a payment.

This place is absolute garbage, especially Dr. Mike and Kelly Prior. Absolute horrendous attention to the hippocratic oath, put me on dangerous meds, and had no patience to hear my concerns with my treatment or diagnosis. Completely unwilling to listen or complete an accurate medical history to get the full spectrum of your behavioral health needs.They listen to shoddy science and are not up to pace with contemporary medical literature concerning the overdiagnosis of psychiatric conditions in adult populations. All of this seemingly just to get money from you and entwine you in the carcinogenic, cold, clinical, sterile grips.STAY AWAY AT ALL COSTS BE FOREWARNED.

I am no longer surprised that the Google reviews are low. The program participant that I referred exhibited symptoms and did not pose danger to others. The participant was started on a medication and within days was discharged without aftercare or referral while in a state of crisis. The program posed a danger to the participant.

NOT A SAFE SPACE! Only come here if you enjoy a hostile environment where no one listens to you (ie constantly cutting you off and not giving you the space to speak your mind) while responding to you in a very condescending/patronizing tone.

I was recommended Dr. Dibiase by the folks over at Ayer Neuroscience Institute for my conditions, and throughout the years I've worked with him, my experience has been nothing short of fantastic! He is very attentive, thorough, and beyond amazing to work with otherwise!Dr. Dibiase is the best psychiatrist I've had the privilege of working with; The only downside is the office's location, but it is worth the travel time in my opinion, especially thanks to being so close to the CTfastrak platform!

This place is complete trash, especially Dr. Kelly Prior. Seriously avoid at all costs if you want real help. My medication was consistently messed up. I don't even see this garbage doctor anymore and I still have to deal with her mistakes and unable to refill my meds multiple times. She has no problem changing your meds regardless if they're helping. The office will ignore your calls if they don't like you until you call with a different number and someone picks up right away.One time Prior was out sick and I had a morning appointment that the office showed zero urgency to call me and tell me it was canceled. I didn't find out until I got there. They called once and didn't leave a message. Claimed my voicemail was full when it was 60%.And I missed work for that.I'm sure there's more examples I can give but just stay away. I never wanted to come here to begin with because they pulled this with my grandmother. I saw Prior because she had good reviews and I don't know how.
