High Focus has been an incredible support system for our family. The program truly helped my son navigate some very difficult times, providing him with the guidance, structure, and encouragement he needed. I’m deeply grateful for the caring staff and the positive impact they’ve had on his journey. I highly recommend High Focus to any parent whose child needs a little extra help and understanding along the way.

Even though my parents made me go to high focus even tho I’m 23 and they are the cause of my problems I enjoyed the people that I met there. I just finished yesterday and it feels weird having a full day to myself. I enjoyed art therapy on Tuesdays and dog therapy on Thursdays. Definitely the highlight of my time there. I did get a lot of great feedback and advice on my day to day issues even though the issues with my parents probably won’t get better since they also have to have a willingness to make a change and work with me. I did learn a lot and relearned some of what I already knew. Overall I enjoyed the time spent there and people I met along the way

I just finished High Focus and I absolutely loved it. I felt supported and cared for my whole 9 weeks. I was given a lot of skills that will benefit me in the future and I feel stronger than I have in awhile. I also made some really amazing friends that I cherish and feel like will be friends for a lifetime. There are a few negatives with the program and I will address them but I think a 5 star is apt. 1. They divide the group by age groups which is great. However, if the attendance is too small, we will be put together. It's fine but at 38, it's hard to relate to others who are in college or living with their parents. They also tend to be a little more sensitive, (GEN Z amirite?) that sharing can be a bit more tenuous. 2. The clinicians are amazing. My clinician was Madeline Barnes and she was kind, informative and understood me and my dynamic with my mother right away. I love her. No matter what was going on, I always felt like I had a safe space. I can't recommend her enough. If she goes private practice, I will be her first client. 3. SOME of the clinicians could use a little refresh or training in DBT. I've had a lot of DBT and my sister is a certified DBT psychologist expert so maybe I'm a snob. I feel that sometimes it looks like they're reading the DBT coursework for the first time and actively questioning the necessity of it and we as a group have to educate them. However, the negatives do not outweigh the positives. I was Originally going to go to residential but it felt like too much. This was the perfect amount of therapy I needed. Transitioning into real life is going to be hard and not having something to do every day will be challenging. However, I could not have been set up any better.

Accepted Insurance

Please contact to verify your specific insurance provider.

High Focus Centers Norwalk Outpatient Treatment Center works with several private insurance providers, 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.

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

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.

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.

Outpatient rehabs offer a wide variety of therapeutic programs to address clients' unique and evolving needs. They are generally most effective for clients who have completed inpatient treatment and are medically stable. Most outpatient treatment centers prioritize addiction counseling and recovery-focused life skills training. Many also provide medication assisted treatment (MAT) for clients in alcohol and opioid recovery. Evening, night, and weekend sessions are commonly offered to accommodate clients' schedules.

While in-person visits are necessary in some situations, telehealth appointments in Connecticut can meet many healthcare needs. During a telehealth appointment, you'll meet with your healthcare provider virtually via smartphone or other device to discuss your needs, diagnosis, and treatment.

Treatments

In Connecticut, dual-diagnosis addiction treatment recognizes the importance of addressing both mental health and substance use disorders in their specialized rehab programs, including outpatient, inpatient, medically assisted detox, and partial hospitalization. Using evidence-based therapies like cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavioral therapy, and experiential therapies, addiction experts address substance use disorders and mental health challenges simultaneously, improving recovery outcomes and reducing the risk of relapse.

Programs

Teen programs are designed to address the unique pressures teens face, pressures that can drive them to experiment with dangerous, addictive substances. They need programs that meet them exactly where they are and give them tools for long-term recovery. Therapy can help teenagers understand and work through underlying issues so they can reclaim the life ahead of them.

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.

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.

Serving in the military is both mentally and physically challenging, and can result in trauma that persists even after combat ends. Military programs are tailored to the specific and often complex needs of active duty personnel, veterans, and military families. Clients often access these programs through the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA).

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.

Clients participating in dialectical behavior therapy in Connecticut can expect to attend weekly skills focused group meetings as well as one on one sessions with the therapist. Individual sessions usually last one hour, and groups, made up of four to 10 people, last 1.5 to 2 hours. The focus is to help clients accept situations, recognize emotions, and acknowledge the need for change.

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.

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.
