Questions people ask about Waterbury Hospital
What levels of care does Waterbury Hospital offer?
They offer outpatient, telemedicine and detox. Which one fits is usually decided by how much structure the first few weeks need, and Waterbury has 8 other centers within 14 miles.
Does Waterbury Hospital offer a detox?
They detox from opioids, alcohol, benzodiazepines, cocaine and methamphetamines, so the first stage and the treatment after it can happen in one place rather than across two trips to Waterbury.
Are there alternatives to Waterbury Hospital?
There are 8 more within a short drive of Waterbury, so this does not have to be the only call you make.
Is a diagnosis handled at Waterbury Hospital as well?
They treat both. Confirm it for the specific diagnosis rather than in general, because transitional services and recovery support services covers a lot of ground and Waterbury may have a narrower service than a bigger city would.
What special programs does Waterbury Hospital offer?
Clients with a mental health diagnosis as well are one of the 2 groups they offer a dedicated program for.
Does support carry on after discharge?
Most of recovery happens after the program, which is an awkward fact for anyone selling programs. The first weeks back carry the highest risk, so what is booked for them matters more than the program length. Book the first appointment after discharge while you are still in the program, not afterward.
Will a program make me come off my medication?
The medication review is part of intake, and it is one of the reasons intake asks so many health questions. Some abstinence based programs are uncomfortable with prescribed medication, and that is a genuine difference between centers. Keep whoever prescribes for you informed rather than assuming a handover happens by itself.
What do I say when I call?
Someone will want to know how recently you used, because that decides whether detox comes first. The person answering is usually trained to screen rather than to treat, so a full history is not needed yet. Describe what you are actually dealing with, not the version that sounds manageable.
