Although everyone has different experiences here, my stay was from December 3rd to January 27th 2020. This mental health residential treats the kids horribly, they never respected us and staff would constantly quit and staff complained about their jobs being “terrible” 24/7. Patients would “A-wall” or runaway all the time and all their things would be gone the next day due to them being found and taken back to a hospital. Staff forgot to give us mid-day meds multiple times. Staff can’t control the kids. knives would always be forgotten to lock up and kids would find them and self inflict pain (if u know what i mean) So many things were promised to me and my family that were not fulfilled. The outside area is not safe children where often left alone outside and kids would fall and get hurt. There was a patient who dislocated his shoulder while playing basketball and he was not taken to the hospital until days later. Honestly, this place was my worst nightmare and i hope to never see this house again in MY LIFE. This center made my mental health worst. DO NOT SEND YOUR CHILDREN HERE!!!

Horrible. My therapist, Delly yelled at me and another patient infront of the rest of the people for quote- “talking shit” because she insulted me while having a panic attack instead of helping. The staff have no control over the patients, there was multiple times I was almost STRANGLED and KILLED by a patient and they barely did anything. There is much more I could say about this place, but I don’t know the rules for what you can say in this. If you are considering going here, do not. And do not send your child here either. Thank you.

Accepted Insurance

Discovery Mood & Anxiety Program—Stamford Residential Mental Health Treatment Program 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.

Addiction Treatments

Levels of Care

intensive-outpatient iconIntensive Outpatient

Intensive Outpatient Programs (IOP) are for those who want or need a very structured treatment program but who also wish to live at home and continue with certain responsibilities (such as work or school). IOP substance abuse treatment programs vary in duration and intensity, and certain outpatient rehab centers will offer individualized treatment programs.

aftercare iconAftercare Support

Rehab aftercare programs promote clients' long-term sobriety through a suite of services designed to provide a complete continuum of care. Drug rehab aftercare typically begins as soon as patients exit inpatient care and often includes formal outpatient treatment. Clients who no longer require outpatient counseling, education, or other treatment generally continue to receive rehab aftercare services, such as peer coaching, career counseling, or 12 step program induction. Clients typically develop their program in collaboration with their case manager.

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.

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 offers insight into behavioral patterns and triggers. This can lead to a better understanding of your addictive behaviors, which in turn promotes sobriety and sustainable recovery. You can share your experiences and strategies you use to overcome triggers and learn new strategies from your peers.

Individual therapy uses evidence based treatment modalities to focus on building a strong therapeutic alliance between yourself and your therapist. This crucial relationship fosters trust that enables you to discuss your struggles and work together to develop effective strategies to overcome addiction.

Motivational interviewing in Connecticut is a method of communication designed to stimulate motivation and commitment to change. It encourages clients to move toward goals by exploring their own motivations for change rather than coercing them to change through advice, warnings, or judgment.

Trauma therapy offers you a safe space to process a traumatic experience as therapists use trauma informed care. Your therapist works to support your understanding of your emotional and physical responses to the trauma while developing healthier coping skills. This helps to foster a sense of empowerment that leads to recovery.

eye-movement iconEye Movement Desensitization And Reprocessing

Family therapy sessions work to strengthen the family unit by addressing addiction related conflicts and fostering support between family members. Your therapist guides family members in developing effective communication strategies and creating an environment that aids in your loved one's recovery.

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.

The goal of experiential therapy is to help you release negative thoughts and emotions and learn healthy coping strategies. This is accomplished through expressive activities such as animal care, music, art, culinary arts, or drama.

I personally think that this place is good on some notes I. was admitted here on August 14th and got distarged on November 4th. during my stay there were ups and downs but that's should be expected in all facilities because you are put with a bunch of different people with a bunch of different things going on. One thing that I want and wish for people to understand is that no one is perfect in any way. sometimes it takes more than one time to understand something and that is perfectly fine because life is like gardening. sometimes with the right patients butiful things can grow from it and then it will blossom but in order to let it blossom you have to have patients. Not every facilitie is for everyone and not everyone is the same because if we were life would be boring. So to the people who are looking to help themselves or others just no treatment is not easy nor is life but the more you work at it the more times you fall and fail and get back up is going to make a huge difference in your life or whoever's life. but remember after every storm there is a rainbow find the rainbow for me.
