About New BHcare Shoreline

New BHcare Shoreline provides behavioral health services in Branford, Connecticut, to help individuals improve their mental health and overall well-being. The center offers a person-centered approach to care that focuses on supporting those dealing with mental health challenges and substance use disorders. Medicaid, Medicare and HUSKY are accepted. If you are paying out of pocket then they will use a sliding fee scale. You can pay via credit card, cash or check.

Treatment Design

Their clinicians will work with you to develop a treatment plan that meets your needs and goals. The treatment will encourage you to express your desired outcomes, needs and expectations.

You will explore your symptoms and strengths. They will help you identify your stressors to develop new coping skills. Their goal is to help you improve your emotional, behavioral and social outlook.

Dual Diagnosis and MAT Options

You will be able to receive substance use treatment that provides support and education. Medication assisted treatment (MAT) will be available if you are struggling with an opioid addiction.

Dual diagnosis treatment is also provided. They combine medication, therapy and supportive services to those struggling with both a psychiatric illness and non prescription substance addiction. They are able to provide treatment if you have a diagnosis such as bipolar disorder, major depressive disorder or schizophrenia.

Intensive Outpatient Option

If you have needs that cannot be met through weekly group or individual treatment then you may want to look into their intensive outpatient program (IOP). This program involves attending treatment three to five days per week. You’ll participate in three hours of specialized and focused group activities each day. They also have a flexible evening program to create a work-life balance.

They use evidence based practice that consists of dialectical behavior therapy. This form of therapy can help you with distress tolerance, emotion regulation and interpersonal issues.

Hey, I had a run-in with the police, and I have a problem with authority. So obviously this went bad and the police escalated it to the point where they arrested me. Instead of going to jail care and help me decrease my aggression. Working with the therapist at BHcare I’ve been able to become a happier person and happier and doing the things that I do. I look forward to working with the therapist to improve myself so that I can become more Productive.

Mia Tabib, LCSW, has been my individual therapist for at least four years now. Ms. Tabib is the best therapist I've ever had in my life. She is a rock, has always advocated for me, and has taught me how to advocate for myself. I am very grateful to her for all she does at BHCare!

Other Forms of Payment

Medicaid is a state based program that helps lower-income individuals and families pay for healthcare. Medicaid covers addiction treatment so those enrolled can use their coverage to pay for rehab. When a program accepts Medicaid the client often pays very little or nothing out of their own pocket.

Private insurance refers to any kind of healthcare coverage that isn't from the state or federal government. This includes individual and family plans offered by an employer or purchased from the Insurance Marketplace. Every plan will have different requirements and out of pocket costs so be sure to get the full details before you start treatment.

Self-pay involves paying for treatment out of your own pocket. You can use savings or credit, get a personal loan, or receive help from family and friends to fund your treatment. If you don't have insurance or your insurance plan doesn't cover a specific program, self-pay can help ensure you still get the care you need.

Financial aid can take many forms. Centers may have grants or scholarships available to clients who meet eligibility requirements. Programs that receive SAMHSA grants may have financial aid available for those who need treatment as well. Grants and scholarships can help you pai for treatment without having to repay.

Medicare is a federal program that provides health insurance for those 65 and older. It also serves people under 65 with chronic and disabling health challenges. To use Medicare for addiction treatment you need to find a program that accepts Medicare and is in network with your plan. Out of pocket costs and preauthorization requirements vary, so always check with your provider.

Addiction Treatments

Levels of Care

inpatient iconInpatient

Residential treatment programs are those that offer housing and meals in addition to substance abuse treatment. Rehab facilities that offer residential treatment allow patients to focus solely on recovery, in an environment totally separate from their lives. Some rehab centers specialize in short-term residential treatment (a few days to a week or two), while others solely provide treatment on a long-term basis (several weeks to months). Some offer both, and tailor treatment to the patient's individual requirements.

Treatments

The goal of treatment for alcoholism is abstinence. Those with poor social support, poor motivation, or psychiatric disorders tend to relapse within a few years of treatment. For these people, success is measured by longer periods of abstinence, reduced use of alcohol, better health, and improved social functioning. Recovery and Maintenance are usually based on 12 step programs and AA meetings.

Drug rehab in Connecticut provides the professional support that is often necessary to break free from drug dependency. With proper treatment, individuals can make changes that restore balance and health to their lives and achieve long-term recovery.

A combined mental health and substance abuse rehab has the staff and resources available to handle individuals with both mental health and substance abuse issues. It can be challenging to determine where a specific symptom stems from (a mental health issue or an issue related to substance abuse), so mental health and substance abuse professionals are helpful in detangling symptoms and keeping treatment on track.

Opioid rehabs specialize in supporting those recovering from opioid addiction. They treat those suffering from addiction to illegal opioids like heroin, as well as prescription drugs like oxycodone. These centers typically combine both physical as well as mental and emotional support to help stop addiction. Physical support often includes medical detox and subsequent medical support (including medication), and mental support includes in-depth therapy to address the underlying causes of addiction.

Programs

adult-program thumbnail image

Adult Program

Adult rehab programs include therapies tailored to each client's specific needs, goals, and recovery progress. They are tailored to the specific challenges adult clients may face, including family and work pressures and commitments. From inpatient and residential treatment to various levels of outpatient services, there are many options available. Some facilities also help adults work through co-occurring conditions, like anxiety, that can accompany addiction.
lgbtq-program thumbnail image

LGBTQ Program

Recovery is most successful when clients feel accepted and validated by their peers and treatment providers. Facilities that offer LGBTQ-inclusive programming are committed to creating a safe space where everyone can grow and recover without fear of judgment or discrimination. They will have dedicated policies in place to create a safe and supportive environment that fosters free expression.

Clinical Services

Experiential therapy is a form of therapy in which clients are encouraged to surface and work through subconscious issues by engaging in real-time experiences. Experiential therapy departs from traditional talk therapy by involving the body, and having clients engage in activities, movements, and physical and emotional expression. This can involve role-play or using props (which can include other people). Experiential therapy can help people process trauma, memories, and emotion quickly, deeply, and in a lasting fashion, leading to substantial and impactful healing.

Group therapy is any therapeutic work that happens in a group (not one-on-one). There are a number of different group therapy modalities, including support groups, experiential therapy, psycho-education, and more. Group therapy involves treatment as well as processing interaction between group members.

Nutrition therapy, aka medical nutrition therapy (MNT), is a way of treating physical, emotional, and medical conditions through diet. Specific dietary plans are designed by professional nutritionists or registered dietitians, and patients follow them in order to positively affect their physical and mental health.

BH care in Branford has helped me tremendously during a recent time of need. I had no idea that there existed such a comprehensive program dedicated to mental health. I have participated in several programs so far, and have been helped tremendously. The program also provides help for employment, & housing, and many other resources. Their clinicians are warm, friendly and professional. The psychiatrist I have seen is very knowledgable and helpful. I am on my way to recovery.

Response from the owner

Where do I even start. Getting hospitalized 3 times in a row was no fun. I got referred to Bhcare for therapy, case management, medication management and the social clubs. Everyone here is beyond kind, super personable, and their goal is always to help people. I now look forward to therapy and know I can act and behave the way I do, without feeling embarrassment by anyone. I honestly don’t know why the reviews are so low. They provide so much, with care and passion. The social clubs are always there for anyone and is a great place to relax, work on yourself and make some friendships. Everyone is welcomed at Bhcare. Everyone will make you feel so welcomed. There’s a young adult service program that’s awesome with lots of knowledge, leadership, guidance, and fun. In the social clubs they’ll hold field trips that go to many fun places, to escape reality and to just have fun. They provide so many services for everyone. Domestic violence, homelessness, unemployment, mental health issues, substance abuse issues, etc. there’s something for everyone at Bhcare. Please don’t hesitate to get an intake for any of these services. You won’t regret it. I now will not go anywhere else for any services, because they’re all at Bhcare and no place does it like Bhcare. Bhcare saved me.

I feel compelled to write a review in defense of this place because I was scrolling through the reviews and I don't understand why BHcare got any negative reviews. The negative reviews that I've read are ridiculous, nonsensical, and seem to be coming from people who have problems on THEIR end, not BHcare's end. Their IOP program is great. The counselors know what they are doing. They're very knowledgeable, capable, compassionate, and helpful. The psychiatrist is fantastic. He's very thorough and he calls in your meds right away. I had an issue with my meds last month. The pharmacy told me I needed prior approval for a med that I've been taking for months and I've never needed prior approval. I called BHcare to figure out what was going on. They called the pharmacy right away and resolved the issue so I could get my meds that same day. The evening relapse prevention program is great. The nursing department is lovely. They really care and attend to all your needs. My therapist and I meet virtually which is awesome because I don't have a car. If you've got a problem with this place, the problem is YOU and you're taking it out on BHcare. Anyone in my group that's had any sort of issue with the facility usually stems from something going on with their own insurance or a lack of communication on the clients end Not BHcare's end. Don't listen to the negative reviews. Some of these people lack the mental capacity to communicate properly. They deflect the blame and blame BHcare for their own problems. Typical addict behavior. Take accountability for your own issues. This place is fine. Nothing is wrong with it. You'll get great care here, don't worry about it.

Response from the owner
Anne Marie, thank you for your kind words. We work hard to ensure everyone we serve has access to the treatment and resources they need to meet their goals. We're happy we can help you on your road to recovery, we'll be with you every step of the way!
