About MCCA – Derby Outpatient Clinic

MCCA Derby Outpatient Clinic is an outpatient drug and alcohol rehab in downtown Derby, Connecticut. It sits on Elizabeth Street just a short walk from the spot where the Naugatuck River spills into the Housatonic.

This is one of seven outpatient clinics run by the Midwestern Connecticut Council on Alcoholism or MCCA, a nonprofit that has treated Connecticut residents since 1972. They specialize in treating addiction on a friendly schedule with therapy and, in some cases, medications for addiction.

Walk In Care in Connecticut’s Smallest City

The Derby clinic aims to make treatment more accessible by holding walk in hours where you don’t need an appointment.

Every Thursday from noon to 3 pm, anyone can walk through the door for Open Access, no appointment or referral required, and start the intake process the same day. I like that they seem to know that you might have work with your momentum instead of sitting on a waitlist for weeks.

Evening Groups That Respect a Work Schedule

The intensive outpatient program or IOP is the clinic’s most popular track, meeting three times a week in three hour sessions with both daytime and evening options. They have specialized groups for early intervention and relapse prevention, and many are gender specific and trauma informed

Gambling, DUI and Anger Management

Standard outpatient counseling here goes well past alcohol and drug addiction, and I think it’s helpful that their programs have such a broad span.

The Derby team runs a Bettor Choice problem gambling program, a pre-trial intervention track for DUI and DWI charges. They have anger management groups too and treatment for co-occurring mental health disorders.

Clients who end up needing more than outpatient care can also have a smooth transition. MCCA has McDonough House in Danbury where you can get detox and residential treatment inside the same nonprofit system.

Amenities

Private Rehab

Private drug rehab provides a comfortable, secure environment that allows you to focus on doing the work to get your life back on track. Benefits include a higher staff-to-client ratio, increased one-on-one time with therapists and healthcare providers, private rooms for clients, and customized forms of therapy.

Addiction Treatment Programs

Adult Program

For those who have a substance use disorder, an adult program in Connecticut offers crucial support. Designed to treat individuals 18 and older, these rehab programs help adults learn how to live their lives free from dependence on substances.

Alcoholism

Alcohol rehab in Connecticut is not a one-size-fits-all solution. That’s why a variety of programs and treatment methods are available to meet you where you are. Through personalized treatment, alcohol rehab is designed to help you achieve sobriety and maintain long-term recovery from alcohol use disorder.

Men's Rehab

Adults who attend men’s rehab in Connecticut have the opportunity to connect with other men who are struggling with similar addiction issues. This is important for recovery, as men are often more comfortable talking about their struggles with other men.

Opioid Treatment

When you attend opioid rehab in Connecticut, you’re provided with the tools that are necessary to break free from opioid addiction. Treatment offers accountability, structure, and a sense of community. Methods typically include medication assisted treatment, individual therapy, and group counseling.

Women's Rehab

Women often find it easier to work through their addiction issues in women’s rehab in Connecticut. Surrounded by other women who understand their struggles, they can feel free to share openly and find support.

Teen & Adolescent Program

If you are looking for a young adult program in Connecticut, many options are available. Programs include inpatient, partial hospitalization programs (PHP), intensive outpatient programs (IOP), outpatient, aftercare, and dual diagnosis.

Levels of Care

Outpatient Rehab

Many individuals turn to outpatient rehab in Connecticut after they complete an inpatient program. This treatment is less intensive and usually involves attending several counseling sessions per week and attending a support group such as NA or AA. Outpatient rehab may be short or long-term, depending on the needs of the individual.

Dual Diagnosis & Mental Health

When you have a co-occurring disorder, you have both a substance abuse disorder and a mental health disorder. Dual diagnosis in Connecticut specializes in treating both conditions simultaneously, which is crucial for successful recovery.

Aftercare & Alumni Program

Once you’ve completed rehab treatment, you must learn how to manage stress and life challenges without relapsing. Aftercare rehab in Connecticut is designed to provide the support you need for this process. It may include financial, educational, career, social, and mental support. Many people remain in this care for a year after initial recovery.

Inpatient Rehab

Inpatient drug rehab in Connecticut is the most intensive level of care for addiction treatment. Upon admission, they engage in extensive psychotherapy, receive recovery-focused life skills training, and participate in evidence-based complementary therapies, such as meditation, massage, acupuncture, and/or animal, creative arts, recreational, and experiential therapy.

Detox & MAT

Drug rehab in Connecticut typically starts with detox. This is the process of ridding your body of all addictive substances. This happens under supervision, so medical staff can treat withdrawal symptoms and help you through the process.

Payment Options

Financial Aid

For those who need some financial assistance to help cover the costs of alcohol and drug rehab in Connecticut, financial aid is often a good option due to the myriad of choices and options. For example, these methods can include rehab scholarships, receiving treatment through a non-profit program, and certain grants.

Payment Plans & Financing

For those who are underinsured or uninsured, paying the total cost of a rehab program up front is not feasible. Fortunately, many alcohol and drug rehabs make financing available to potential clients through private loans, in-house payment plans, or partner lenders. You can choose a finance package that lets you start treatment immediately and pay for it later.

Medicaid Accepted

If you qualify for Medicaid coverage, it will often cover most - if not all - the costs associated with alcohol and drug rehab in Connecticut. There are certain qualifications you must meet in order to be eligible for insurance through Medicaid.

TRICARE

Private Insurance

Private insurance is one of the best ways to lower the cost of alcohol and drug rehab in Connecticut. Keep in mind, however, that coverage rates and other treatment details will differ, depending on your insurance carrier and policy. Be sure to verify your coverage details before entering a treatment program.

Self-Pay Options

If you are under- or uninsured, self-pay options can help keep your out-of-pocket costs at an affordable level for alcohol or drug rehab in Connecticut.

Sliding Scale Payment

Siding scale payment plans help to make it possible for many people to attend alcohol and drug rehab in Connecticut. With payment plans based on your income and assets, you're asked to pay no more than what you can reasonably afford.
