About Connections Community Support Programs
Though it’s now closed, Connections Community Support Programs in Wilmington, Delaware once provided outpatient services that included mental health and substance abuse treatments in a non residential setting. During their operation, they were situated in an ideal setting near the Limen House for Men and Crossroads of Delaware Inc, a popular treatment center in Delaware.
For payment, they accepted Medicaid, Medicare, private health insurance, and military insurance like TRICARE. They also accepted self payments and offered payment assistance including sliding fee scales based on income, household size and other factors.
Outpatient and Residential Treatment with Primary Care in Wilmington
Connections Community Support Programs offered outpatient services and residential treatment programs with intensive care services. Because mental health tends to play a role in addictions, habits and choices, we like that they specialized in dual diagnosis treatment.
The residential treatment centers were available for adults, and outpatient mental health facilities were also extended. Integrated primary care services were provided along with housing services to aid in your independence.
Employment Services and More to Complement Treatment
Supported employment and vocational rehabilitation services were included as part of the many offerings of Connections Community Support Programs. They also offered family psychoeducation which we feel is great because it brought crucial support systems into the treatment process.
Being able to find both these programs in addition to the outpatient and residential services under one entity is something we find impressive. This comprehensive approach highlighted their commitment to addressing multiple facets of recovery all in one accessible place.

Other Forms of Payment
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.
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.
Military members, veterans, and eligible dependents have access to specific insurance programs that help them get the care they need. TRICARE and VA insurance can help you access low cost or no cost addiction and mental health treatment. Programs that accept military insurance often have targeted treatment focused on the unique challenges military members, veterans, and their families face.

Treatments
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.
Clinical Services
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.
In individual therapy, a patient meets one-on-one with a trained psychologist or counselor. Therapy is a pivotal part of effective substance abuse treatment, as it often covers root causes of addiction, including challenges faced by the patient in their social, family, and work/school life.
