About Day Kimball Healthcare

I like that these services are provided at the hospital, which means you can integrate your recovery journey with other aspects of your medical care. Their short term adult inpatient department provides the highest level of support and is reserved for clients with acute needs. You’ll go here if you’ve stated an intent to hurt yourself or someone else or if your condition has made you gravely disabled. While you stay here, you’ll stick to a goal oriented treatment plan provided by a multidisciplinary team. The goal of this treatment is to stabilize your immediate symptoms so you can transition into follow up care.

If you don’t need such an intensive program, you can enroll in their age specific outpatient treatments. Some of the services they offer include diagnostic evaluations, medication management, and follow up support. They also provide individual, family, and group counseling sessions to help you work through your symptoms and address your triggers. If you’re in the middle of a psychiatric crisis due to a co-occurring condition, their emergency department is available 24 hours a day.

I was here to get an xray for a broken rib. I was the only person in the urgent care. I waited from 8pm-1am in a room. I don’t know if there is any staff here. I think they just put you in a room and charge your insurance. I never saw a nurse. The doctor came in at 1am to “discuss my ct scan” (I didn’t have one). I just walked out at that point. There isn’t one positive review about the ER. They must be aware of the negative reviews but nothing is ever done to improve this place. Go anywhere but here.

Awful delivery experience right from the minute we arrived for emergency c section. We were treated very poorly by nurses and anesthesiologist. Literally no one else in the birthing center for the two days we were there and we couldn’t leave fast enough. Horrible traumatizing experience. Unprofessional, ill equipped and poorly trained nurses. Go anywhere else.

I brought my one year old son in for ingesting something he shouldn’t have after being told to do so by poison control, which according to the staff at the hospital “had no record of” (I had called the next day to confirm and they gave me the exact time I had called confirming I did in fact call.) got there at 7:45pm didnt get into a room till close to 10pm and was out by 11:15pm. The wait time for anyone there was ridiculous, let alone a one year old. While waiting - after asking the nurse to put the sides up, and being ignored- my son dove off the side of the bed face first. Fell unconscious for a few seconds before finally reacting, I had to run all the way to the entrance from his room w him screaming because not a single staff on the floor. And when the doctor came completely dismissed it and did nothing but act as if it was an inconvenience. My son went home throwing up, a mark on his face, grabbing his head and not acting like himself in the slightest for almost two whole days after. The doctor who had seen him said there was no reason to check into it. All the staff were very dismissive, rude, rushing, unfriendly, and quite frankly acted as if patients were an inconvenience. I felt extremely unsafe w my child there and will never bring him or myself there again for any reason. And I would never recommend this place. I’ll take the drive to Norwich or Hartford. If I could give negative stars I would.

Accepted Insurance

Day Kimball Healthcare works with several private insurance providers and also accepts private payments when possible, please contact to verify your specific insurance provider.

Other Forms of Payment

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.

Sliding scale payments are based on a client's income and family size. The goal is to make treatment affordable to everyone. By taking these factors into account, addiction recovery care providers help ensure that your treatment does not become a financial burden to you or your family, eliminating one barrier to care.

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.

Addiction Treatments

Levels of Care

outpatient iconOutpatient

Outpatient programs are for those seeking mental rehab or drug rehab, but who also stay at home every night. The main difference between outpatient treatment (OP) and intensive outpatient treatment (IOP) lies in the amount of hours the patient spends at the facility. Most of the time an outpatient program is designed for someone who has completed an inpatient stay and is looking to continue their growth in recovery. Outpatient is not meant to be the starting point, it is commonly referred to as aftercare. Outpatient behavioral health services are available for children up to the age of 18.

inpatient iconInpatient

Day Kimball Healthcare offers a short term inpatient care for those individuals who have several mental health conditions. Their inpatient unit is a 15-bed locked unit, individuals can be admitted on either a voluntary or involuntary basis. They serve individuals primarily ages 16 and older.

intensive-outpatient iconIntensive Outpatient

Intensive outpatient programs (IOP) offer robust support for clients who are at an elevated risk of relapse, including those in early recovery and those in crisis. Clients in intensive outpatient treatment typically receive between nine and 20 hours of service per week, with the intensity and frequency of treatment decreasing as clients stabilize. The services provided in these programs vary, but generally include addiction counseling, recovery-focused life skills training, medication assisted treatment (MAT), and holistic therapies.

heart-hands iconIntervention Services

Intervention services can be crucial to successfully plan and complete a drug intervention in Connecticut. A professional interventionist can walk loved ones through the careful step-by-step process of carrying out an intervention. This process may be necessary if an individual is causing physical harm to themselves or others, when it is apparent that they aren't going to get help, or when they deny they have a problem at all.

partial-hospitalization iconPartial Hospitalization Program

A partial hospitalization program (PHP) offers short-term intensive rehab for those who don't require 24-hour care. PHP treatment can serve as an alternative to inpatient hospitalization or a step-down option after being released from a hospital or residential program. A partial hospitalization program can provide medication management, relapse prevention strategies, and behavioral therapy interventions. With daily sessions lasting up to 8 hours for up to 5 days a week, the duration can vary with the average being 90 days.

24-hour icon24-Hour Clinical Care

At times during the addiction treatment process, medical professionals must provide 24-hour clinical care in Connecticut. The processes are medically supervised due to the potential dangers of withdrawal symptoms. Staff often prescribe medications to manage these symptoms and curb cravings.

Treatments

Mental health rehabs focus on helping individuals recover from mental illnesses like bipolar disorder, clinical depression, anxiety disorders, schizophrenia, and more. Mental health professionals at these facilities are trained to understand and treat mental health issues, both in individual and group settings.

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.
young-adult-program thumbnail image

Young Adult Program

Young adulthood can be an exciting, yet difficult, time of transition. Individuals in their late teens to mid-20s face unique stressors related to school, jobs, families, and social circles, which can lead to a rise in substance use. Rehab centers with dedicated young adult programs will include activities and amenities that cater to this age group, with an emphasis on specialized counseling, peer socialization, and ongoing aftercare.

Clinical Services

According to cognitive behavioral therapy in Connecticut, individuals can change their behaviors by changing their thoughts. Applied to substance use disorder, this can be an effective treatment method to help patients transform their thoughts and lives.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) is a modified form of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), a treatment designed to help people understand and ultimately affect the relationship between their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. DBT is often used for individuals who struggle with self-harm behaviors, such as self-mutilation (cutting) and suicidal thoughts, urges, or attempts. It has been proven clinically effective for those who struggle with out-of-control emotions and mental health illnesses like Borderline Personality Disorder.

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.

Motivational Interviewing (MI) is a clinical approach to helping people with substance abuse issues and other conditions shift behavior in positive ways. It is more goal-oriented than traditional psychotherapy, as MI counselors directly attempt to get clients to consider making behavioral change (rather than wait for them to come to conclusions themselves). Its primary purpose is to resolve ambivalence and help clients become able to make healthy choices freely.

Trauma therapy addresses traumatic incidents from a client's past that are likely affecting their present-day experience. Trauma is often one of the primary triggers and potential causes of addiction, and can stem from child sexual abuse, domestic violence, having a parent with a mental illness, losing one or both parents at a young age, teenage or adult sexual assault, or any number of other factors. The purpose of trauma therapy is to allow a patient to process trauma and move through and past it, with the help of trained and compassionate mental health professionals.

EMDR is a therapeutic modality originally developed to help process trauma. In an EMDR session, a patient is prompted to undergo eye movements that mimic those of REM sleep. This is accomplished by watching a therapist's finger move back and forth across, or following a bar of light. The goal is repetitive sets of eye movements that help the brain reprocess memory, which can significantly reduce the intensity of remembered traumatic incidents. Associated memories can heal simultaneously, leaving patients significantly calmer, more stable, and more emotionally relaxed.

Research clearly demonstrates that recovery is far more successful and sustainable when loved ones like family members participate in rehab and substance abuse treatment. Genetic factors may be at play when it comes to drug and alcohol addiction, as well as mental health issues. Family dynamics often play a critical role in addiction triggers, and if properly educated, family members can be a strong source of support when it comes to rehabilitation.

During rehab treatment, you and your therapist will identify any life skills that you need to develop. Your treatment will include methods to strengthen those skills so you can have a successful long term recovery. These skills include thinking skills, self awareness, and interpersonal skills.

Nutrition therapy provides a personalized, high protein diet that gives your body the nutrients it needs for mental and physical recovery. This is an important part of drug rehab programs in Connecticut.

When you use nicotine replacement therapy in Connecticut, you can avoid further exposure to the harmful chemicals found in tobacco. You'll get small doses of nicotine without the other toxins, so you can slowly wean yourself off nicotine and quit smoking for good.

Took my son into the emergency room; he crashed on his dirtbike and was in a lot of pain. We sat in the waiting room for almost an hour; we were the only two waiting in the waiting room. We checked in using a KIOSK, and the security guard took my son's age and injury. Nobody ever came out to check on him; nobody was working the front desk. A nurse came out, looked around the waiting room, and walked away. This hospital is a disgrace; I had to leave to take him elsewhere. I would not recommend this hospital to anyone. Stay far away.
