Midwestern Connecticut Council on - Alcoholism Inc/MCCA Womens OP

They are set up for 3 levels: outpatient, telemedicine and detox. Of the 8 centers within 14 miles of Danbury, 2 offer a bed.

They detox from opioids, alcohol, benzodiazepines and methamphetamines, so the first stage and the treatment after it can happen in one place rather than across two trips to Danbury.

Alongside this, Danbury has 34 NA meetings and 53 free AA meetings.

One of their programs is built for veterans, which usually means a separate group rather than the same room with a different label, and it is one of the 14 named here.

They provide outpatient care and not a residential stay, so there is no bed to wait for. The nearest place with one is in Danbury, a few streets away.

Programs are commonly sold in blocks of 28 or 30 days, 60 days and 90 days, with outpatient care lasting longer and lighter. A plan may approve days in batches and review before extending, so the length can change while you are in it. Ask what happens on the last day, and what gets arranged before it.

Coming back after a return to use is one of the most ordinary things an intake line hears. What changed, who was around, and whether medication was part of the plan are the questions worth asking after a recurrence. Ask about naloxone if opioids are involved, because tolerance will have dropped.

Pack for about a week, keep the documents where you can hand them over at the door, and expect the bag to be searched. A written packing list exists at almost every residential program, and asking for it saves an argument at intake. Write the medication list before you pack anything, with the doses and who prescribed them.
