About First Step Detox

First Step Detox is located in Bridgeport Connecticut. This is a no frills detox facility that serves adults who need support for their addiction use disorder. While they specialize in providing detox support, you can also be connected to other services through their affiliate programs in nearby locations. For example, you can get connected to both inpatient care and outpatient care. You can also get connected to housing assistance if you need it.

At the detoxification center, you’ll be supported by trained medical professionals. Through medically monitored detox, you can safely move through the withdrawal symptoms you can expect to face. Depending on your circumstances, you might continue with medication assisted treatment. This is the type of treatment that uses FDA approved medications like suboxone and methadone. Along with helping with your withdrawal symptoms, these medicines can help you manage ongoing cravings as well.

As you exit detox, you'll find other services to support you here. For example, you'll work with trained and experienced professionals who will help you on your addiction recovery journey. Through group and individual therapy you can build critical skills that lead to healthy habits. For example, you'll learn how to identify triggers that lead to your drug use or mental health struggles. You'll also be able to learn strategies and techniques that will help you manage your emotions and decision making abilities.

Other services you'll find here include referral services for continuing care. For example, you may benefit from residential treatment or inpatient treatment after detox. You’ll also get connected to outpatient and intensive outpatient support if you need them.

What I appreciate about this facility the most is that they also recognize the importance of individualized care. They will take the time to understand if you have any underlying medical struggles. These struggles can impact your recovery and it's important to know how to manage them appropriately for successful sobriety. Other services offered here include intensive screenings if you are someone who has HIV/AIDS or are living with a psychiatric disorder.
