Questions people ask about Childrens Center of Hamden

Is Childrens Center of Hamden inpatient or outpatient?

They offer outpatient, inpatient residential and telemedicine. Which one fits is usually decided by how much structure the first few weeks need, and Hamden has 8 other centers within 14 miles.

Is detox part of what Childrens Center of Hamden offers?

No. The nearest place that does offer one is in New Haven, 2.5 miles away.

What special programs does Childrens Center of Hamden offer?

People dealing with past trauma are one of the 4 groups they offer a dedicated program for.

Can Childrens Center of Hamden treat anxiety alongside addiction?

They treat both, and the rest of what they are set up for is adolescents, past domestic violence and past trauma.

Can any of this be done remotely?

They do video appointments, which matters if Hamden is a drive for you.

What is aftercare?

A well designed program treats its own ending as a handover rather than a finish. A discharge plan should name the appointments, who prescribes, and what to do on a bad night. Ask how the medication prescription continues after discharge, and who writes it.

Can I bring my own medication?

The list comes with you and gets reviewed. Nothing on it should change on a policy rather than a prescription. Pregnancy changes medication decisions substantially and needs specialist input. Keep your own prescriber in the loop rather than letting the handover happen by itself.

Will my insurance cover this?

It depends on the plan, the level of care, and whether the center is in network. An employer that funds its own plan follows different rules from a state regulated one, and that changes who hears an appeal. Ask what the rate becomes if the plan stops approving days before the program ends.
