Our Methodology
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.
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.
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.
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.

12-Step 
Intervention Services 
Medically Assisted Detox 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.
Many of those suffering from addiction also suffer from mental or emotional illnesses like schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, depression, or anxiety disorders. Rehab and other substance abuse facilities treating those with a dual diagnosis or co-occurring disorder administer psychiatric treatment to address the person's mental health issue in addition to drug and alcohol rehabilitation.
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.
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.
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.
Whether a marriage or other committed relationship, an intimate partnership is one of the most important aspects of a person's life. Drug and alcohol addiction affects both members of a couple in deep and meaningful ways, as does rehab and recovery. Couples therapy and other couples-focused treatment programs are significant parts of exploring triggers of addiction, as well as learning how to build healthy patterns to support ongoing sobriety.
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.
Nicotine Replacement Therapy (NRT) is a way of getting nicotine into the bloodstream without smoking. It uses products that supply low doses of nicotine to help people stop smoking. The goal of therapy is to cut down on cravings for nicotine and ease the symptoms of nicotine withdrawal. Their free program for stop smoking include small groups, individual counseling and Nicotine Replacement Therapy.

The counsels were very impatient and would come in to work looking to argue with patients. They were never open to other peoples opinions it was always they are right and you are wrong. The work sheets were done so carelessly that they didnt even have enough for everyone eve ...
My experience has been phenomenal. Dawn Hall has helped me immensely in my journey of wellness. Also Beth Balko has also been a tremendous help. The one on one and the groups are fantastic.
I had the best experience! Amanda was amazing, so sweet and helpful. She made the experience so light and welcoming. Highly recommend
I found the classes very beneficial and I've learned a lot from Amanda. I look forward to a sober future and getting my life back in order thanks to the program. I highly recommend the program to anyone who qualifies. Sincerely, David Kloter.
Honestly, this place is incredible and has played a huge role in my current mental and physical health. The Conflict Resolution group run by Justin was incredibly informative and open minded. I also found their Relapse Prevention, run by Amanda, to be incredibly helpful. Plus the level of care and investment that Amanda shows running it is genuinely heartwarming and encouring. I found it helpful as it focuses on thoughts, feelings, and emotions that are the root issue of use. I’ve never had a more comfortable or accepting experience while in outpatient. Thank you for putting me on a better path, MCCA, I’m eternally grateful.
Friendly staff. Helped me get trough what I was going through.
Grateful to Amanda and the MCCA Derby team for the support and guidance during my time with them. Amanda met us at a personal level and encouraged us, allowing us to talk about our feelings openly without judgement and providing us with resources to navigate our behaviors and emotions positively! I truly appreciate the work you all do and would like to say thank you to Amanda for the level of care and understanding shown throughout the past few months as it has helped me grow as an individual.
Was a wonderful experience once I decided to take it seriously. Had tried several times before. The staff was helpful in all aspects of my recovery and helped me graciously with all my questions and problems that came up during my time there. Was knowledgeable and very professional. Also was as personal as possible within the guidelines
Fantastic staff very professional but still down to earth and empathetic to persons from all walks of life.
I never imagine I’d find myself at the Derby Mcca, but I’m so glad I did. Despite my initial anxiety, I was met with an incredible level of care and understanding from everyone I encountered. From the warm smile at the front desk to the helpful quest staff and, most importantly, my counselor, the experience exceeded all my expectations. My counselor was not only knowledgeable, but also exceptionally kind, compassionate, and nonjudgmental. She made a stressful process much easier by working around my busy schedule, going above and beyond to ensure our sessions fit into my life. The team at Mcca creates an environment where you feel supported, valued, and never judged. Their hard work and empathy make all the difference during trying times. Thank you, Mcca , for everything you do - your dedication truly changes lives.
Very great place to be , my therapist is very helpful to me ! She helps and supports me on the goals I set for myself ! This is a safe place , I genuinely couldn’t be more blessed to be helped and guided by the best supporters !
