Rushford Center Inc

They provide inpatient residential and detox. Whichever one you start at the usual pattern is to step down through the levels rather than stop at once, and Mansfield Center is the closest place to carry that on if you move.

They handle detox for alcohol, benzodiazepines, cocaine, methamphetamines and opioids. Ask how many days theirs lasts, because that varies more between places than people expect and Willimantic has 8 other centers to compare.

One of their programs is built for people dealing with past trauma, which usually means a separate group rather than the same room with a different label, and it is one of the 3 named here.

There are 8 more within a short drive of Willimantic, so this does not have to be the only call you make.

They treat adults up to and past 65. Ask whether the group sessions are mixed age, because in Willimantic that often means one room rather than two.

Bring the list and bring the containers, and expect a prescriber to go through both. Pill organizers are often refused at the door, because medication has to arrive labeled. Ask how soon after arrival you would see a prescriber.

Involvement is common, and so are limits on it, set by the person being treated. What a center can tell a family member is limited by privacy law, and that limit holds even for a parent of an adult. Ask what the household should have in place before the first weekend at home.

Identification, insurance card, medications in their original labeled containers, and a week of ordinary clothes. Anything containing alcohol is usually refused, which catches people out on mouthwash and hand sanitizer. Sort the keys, the mail and the animals before the day rather than on it.
