Questions people ask about Southwest CT MH Services System

What treatment does Southwest CT MH Services System offer?

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

Is detox part of what Southwest CT MH Services System offers?

They do not, and neither does anywhere else listed around Stamford. Withdrawal management and treatment are often two separate admissions, and this is one of those times.

Can Southwest CT MH Services System handle a court referral?

They take mandated treatment. What paperwork the court wants back is between you and whoever ordered it, and Stamford has 8 other centers if the dates do not work.

Does Southwest CT MH Services System treat people in Spanish?

Yes. They treat people in Spanish. Confirm it for the first appointment specifically, because in Stamford that can depend on who is rostered that day.

Is Southwest CT MH Services System an option for someone over 65?

They treat adults up to and past 65. Ask whether the group sessions are mixed age, because in Stamford that often means one room rather than two.

What is there in Stamford that costs nothing?

Stamford has 53 free AA meetings as well, which is not treatment but costs nothing and needs no referral.

What happens when I call?

The questions are much the same wherever you call, because every intake line is screening for the same few things. Medical history matters here: seizures, pregnancy, heart problems and current prescriptions all change the plan. It is fine to say you are only gathering information.

Does a return to use mean treatment did not work?

Coming back after a return to use is one of the most ordinary things an intake line hears. Tolerance drops during any period of abstinence, which makes the first use after treatment the most dangerous one. Call (844) 822-5800 and someone can look at what to change rather than repeat.
