Questions people ask about Progressive Institute
What kind of care does Progressive Institute provide?
They provide outpatient and telemedicine. The nearest alternative is in Stratford, 4.3 miles away, if you want something to compare it against.
Does Progressive Institute offer a detox?
No. The nearest place that does offer one is in Bridgeport, 5.5 miles away.
Is there a program at Progressive Institute for people like me?
They offer a program for clients with a mental health diagnosis as well, which not every center around Shelton does.
Does Progressive Institute have beds?
They are outpatient, and nobody inside 14 miles of Shelton offers a bed, which is worth knowing if being away from home is the point of it.
Are there free support meetings in Shelton?
Shelton has 4 AA groups, which is a different thing from treatment and a useful one next to it.
What else is near Progressive Institute?
There are 8 more within a short drive of Shelton, so this does not have to be the only call you make.
Is what I say in a session confidential?
The legal protection on addiction treatment records is stronger than the one covering the rest of your medical file. The form sets both who may be told and what they may be told, which are two separate choices. Ask how a claim through your insurance would appear, if that is the part that worries you.
What is not allowed?
Bring the paperwork, the medications and enough clothing for a week. Most places do laundry. Anything a prescriber gave you should travel with its label attached, because an unlabeled container is usually refused. Ask how much cash, if any, is useful to have with you.
