The experienced clinicians at Stonington Institute provide 24/7 inpatient supervision for clients detoxing from drugs and alcohol. They are licensed to prescribe FDA-approved medications to alleviate withdrawal symptoms and prevent potentially life-threatening complications.
The Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP) at Stonington Institute is tailored for clients in the early stages of recovery or those at a heightened risk of relapse. This comprehensive program offers robust support, including post-detox care and crisis stabilization. Clients participate in multiple daily therapy sessions that incorporate a range of psychotherapeutic practices such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Motivational Interviewing, and Rational Behavioral Therapy (RBT).
In addition to intensive therapy, the PHP includes recovery-focused education and life skills training, addressing crucial topics like coping strategies, self-care, anger and stress management, and relapse prevention. Clients are also encouraged to engage in complementary therapies, including creative arts and music therapy, which further enhance their recovery journey by providing holistic and individualized care. This integrative approach ensures that clients receive the necessary tools and support to achieve and maintain long-term sobriety.
Stonington Institute offers a range of outpatient programs to meet the evolving needs of clients at various stages of recovery. These include Intensive Outpatient Programs (IOP), traditional outpatient services, and sober living or halfway houses.
Intensive Outpatient Programs (IOP) are ideal for clients transitioning from immersive inpatient care, those in early recovery, or individuals at a heightened risk of relapse. These programs provide structured support through multiple weekly therapy and training sessions.
Traditional Outpatient Programs are less intensive than IOPs but still offer robust support. Clients participate in several therapy and training sessions each week, with flexible scheduling options that include evening, night, and weekend meetings to accommodate their needs.
Sober Living and Halfway Houses provide a stable, structured, and substance-free living environment. These facilities support clients as they continue their recovery journey and prepare to reintegrate into their home, work, family, and community lives.
