Vernon Alcohol & Drug Treatment Programs

Of the addiction treatment centers around Vernon, most offer a variety of services to help as many people as possible. When you first enter treatment, you’ll be evaluated to see what services will work best for you. These treatment services may include:

• medical detoxification programs
• inpatient/residential treatment
• outpatient treatment
• medication-assisted treatment
• dual-diagnosis treatment for co-occurring disorders
• aftercare

Medical Drug & Alcohol Detox

Medical detox programs are a relatively short-term process where you’re medically supervised while coming off drugs and/or alcohol. 

When you go through withdrawal, unpleasant and sometimes life-threatening symptoms occur. In a medical detox program, healthcare professionals offer support, supervision, and some health services to reduce discomfort and stabilize you for treatment at an alcohol or drug rehab center.

Residential/Inpatient Drug Rehab

During inpatient rehab you must stay at the facility 24/7. You live there until you graduate from the rehab program. Rehab can last a few weeks or a couple of months. It depends on the residential program you choose.

While there, you have access to behavioral therapy, group therapy, and dual-diagnosis treatment for co-occurring mental illness. You’ll also likely learn more about addiction and strategies to help with relapse prevention.

Outpatient Treatment

Outpatient treatment or day treatment is similar to inpatient rehab in that it offers similar therapeutic and recovery services. But instead of staying at the facility, you’re able to go home after treatment each day.

Two outpatient programs you’ll likely see when looking for treatment include intensive outpatient programs (IOPs) and partial hospitalization programs (PHPs).

Opioid & Alcohol Treatment Programs

Medication-assisted treatment (MAT) is a unique form of treatment that involves taking medication to ease cravings and help the body and mind recover from the effects of opioid or alcohol addiction.

Some of the medications used include methadone and naltrexone. Therapy and counseling are likely used in MAT as well.

Aftercare

Aftercare provides services for anyone who wants additional help after they leave formal treatment. The services can include employment assistance, sober-living housing, and alumni groups. Aftercare programs can make recovery outside of treatment a little easier.

Using Health Insurance For Addiction Treatment In Vernon, Connecticut

Private insurance, as well as Medicare/Medicaid, likely covers some addiction treatment costs. To find out if your insurance covers treatment and how to use it to pay for rehab, you can:

• call your insurance provider and discuss your benefits
• contact rehab centers to verify if they accept your insurance and, if so, how to use it to pay for treatment
• read over your insurance policy to make sure you know what your coverage includes and how to use it

If you’re uninsured, contact the DMHAS for information on state-funded programs or programs with sliding-fee scales for those with lower incomes.
