APT Foundation Inc - Orchard Hill Treatment Services

They provide outpatient and telemedicine. The nearest alternative is in Hamden, 1.8 miles away, if you want something to compare it against.

No. The nearest place that does offer one is in New Haven, 4.2 miles away.

They offer a program for veterans, which is worth confirming on the call rather than assuming. A named program and one with a place free this month are different things, and North Haven has 8 other centers to ask.

They treat both. A diagnosis left untreated while the substance use is treated is the usual reason a first attempt does not hold, and Hamden is the nearest place to try instead if this one does not fit.

They offer telemedicine, so some of this can be done by video rather than traveling into North Haven.

Compare what each one actually provides rather than how each one describes itself. Referral services and treatment providers both answer the phone, and knowing which you reached changes the call. Ask every place the same four questions and compare the answers side by side.

Ask three centers and you will get three different figures, because they are pricing three different programs. Public and nonprofit programs often charge on a sliding scale, and some places are free to people who qualify on income. It is worth asking about a sliding scale even where nothing is advertised.

A recurrence is a reason to adjust the plan rather than evidence that treatment is pointless. A return to use that followed a move, a job loss or a death is a different problem from one with no obvious trigger. Say what happened last time, because it is the most useful thing you can tell an intake worker.
