The drug and alcohol rehab programs in and around Branford offer a full spectrum of care. When you enter treatment, you’ll likely be evaluated by a treatment specialist so they can create a specific treatment plan for you. Some of the treatment options in your plan may include:

Medical Drug & Alcohol Detox

Medical detoxification is a short-term process and one of the first treatment programs you’re likely to go through. If you still have drugs and/or alcohol in your system, medical professionals recommend a medical detox program to help you safely withdraw from those substances.

Once the substances start to exit your body, withdrawal symptoms may occur. This is why you’re monitored and treated by healthcare providers to ensure you’re as comfortable as possible.

Residential/Inpatient Drug Rehab

Inpatient drug rehab involves staying at a treatment facility while participating in health services like behavioral therapy, group therapy, and addiction education. You’ll also likely learn coping skills to aid in relapse prevention.

Inpatient treatment can take anywhere from a few weeks to a couple of months. It focuses on building a community for the foundation of ongoing peer support.

Outpatient Treatment

Outpatient treatment is similar to inpatient care; you simply don’t need to stay at the treatment facility. You’re able to go home after each session.

The two major forms of outpatient treatment are intensive outpatient programs (IOPs) and partial hospitalization programs (PHPs).

Opioid & Alcohol Treatment Programs

Opioid and alcohol addiction sometimes uses medication as part of treatment. This is known as medication-assisted treatment (MAT).

Medications like buprenorphine, naltrexone, or methadone are prescribed to ease cravings and block the euphoric feeling you get when taking opioids or alcohol. This can make the beginning days of recovery a little easier to deal with.

Aftercare

Aftercare services ensure you have support even after you graduate from formal treatment. 

Aftercare can include sober-living housing, peer support, alumni groups, and 12-step support group meetings.
