Questions people ask about Midwestern CT Council of Alcoholism
Is Midwestern CT Council of Alcoholism residential or day treatment?
They provide outpatient and telemedicine. Whichever one you start at the usual pattern is to step down through the levels rather than stop at once, and Winsted is the closest place to carry that on if you move.
Does Midwestern CT Council of Alcoholism offer a detox?
No, and nothing else within 14 miles of Torrington offers one either, so that part will mean a longer drive or a referral.
Are there alternatives to Midwestern CT Council of Alcoholism?
Within 14 miles there are 8 other centers, across Winsted, Bethlehem and Bristol.
Is telehealth available at Midwestern CT Council of Alcoholism?
They do video appointments, which matters if Torrington is a drive for you.
Does Midwestern CT Council of Alcoholism take court ordered treatment?
They take court referrals, which usually means they are used to the reporting side of it. Courts in Torrington send people to places set up for it rather than to any opening.
What does stepping down look like?
A program that ends with nothing scheduled has handed you the hardest month with no structure in it. Free meetings, a prescriber and a weekly session are the usual three pieces of a plan that holds. Get the follow up appointment into the diary before the program ends.
What separates a good program from a bad one?
The things worth comparing are the ones a program can answer with a fact rather than an adjective. Distance from home cuts both ways: far enough to break a pattern, near enough for family to take part. Write down four questions and ask every place the same four.
What does dual diagnosis mean?
Both can be treated at once, and programs that do are described as integrated or co-occurring. An integrated program treats both in one place. A sequential one treats the substance use first, which leaves a gap. Ask who to speak to if the mental health side gets worse mid program.
