Editorial Review

<p><strong>ABOUT WELLMORE BEHAVIORAL HEALTH - MORRIS RECOVERY HOUSE</strong></p> <p>Wellmore Behavioral Health serves the northwestern Connecticut region with numerous locations offering a variety of <strong>mental and behavioral health services</strong>. This facility in downtown Waterbury, Conn., offers <strong>residential care for adult men</strong> struggling with substance abuse and co-occurring mental health disorders. Medical detox is not available on-site.</p> <p><strong>TREATMENT & ASSESSMENT</strong></p> <p>Although Wellmore’s Morris Recovery House is billed as a residential facility, the description provided on the facility’s website paints a picture more akin to a sober-living home. It seems that most treatment programming occurs off-site.</p> <p>Patents may stay for <strong>up to 90 days</strong>. During their stay, they receive <strong>case management services,</strong> referrals to off-site behavioral health services, random drug and alcohol screenings, vocational and job-search support, and transport to supportive services — though transport is available on a limited basis only.</p> <p><strong>Family involvement is strongly encouraged</strong> by the facility — but there are no details regarding the provisions for family therapy. In addition, <strong>educational groups, relapse prevention work, and self-help groups</strong> are offered.</p> <p><strong>STAFF CREDENTIALS</strong></p> <p>There is currently no information provided on the facility's website or otherwise regarding the treatment staff at Morris Recovery House. Yet Wellmore Behavioral Health’s management team includes an MD, a licensed clinical social worker, and a licensed marriage and family therapist.</p> <p><strong>ACCOMMODATIONS & AMENITIES</strong></p> <p>Residential patients live in a <strong>four-story building</strong> in the city center. A staff member polled by Rehabs.com gave three out of five star ratings for both the quality and the cleanliness of the accommodations.</p> <p><strong>WHAT ALUMNI SAY</strong></p> <p>Rehabs.com has not yet received any alumni reviews regarding Wellmore Behavioral Health's Morris Recovery House.</p> <p>On CiteHealth, the four alumni reviews, at time of writing, <strong>were mostly negative</strong>, with an average <strong>2.5- out of five-star</strong> rating.<small class="footnote"><a target="_blank" href="#footnote-1"><sup>[1]</sup></a></small> One anonymous reviewer posted: “Nothing good to say about this place.” The other wrote: “This is the worst house to stay sober in a lot of drug use goes on here so i wouldnt recommend it and staff is just horrible 1 star because i would never come back here for tell some one about this place.”</p> <p><strong>WHAT STAFF SAY</strong></p> <p>The only staff member who submitted a review to Rehabs.com at time of writing <strong>had lukewarm feelings about Morris Recovery House</strong>. The anonymous reviewer gave the center four out of five stars for treatment effectiveness and affordability, but only three out of five stars in most other categories such as family participation, cleanliness, meals and nutrition, treatment of co-occurring disorders, admin and discharge procedures, and whether treatment is worth the cost. Two out of five star reviews were given to Wellmore’s counseling options, connectivity, and holistic treatment offerings. The reviewer wrote: “Program Manager and 2nd shift staff were strengths of the facility. Inexperience was a weakness. Take an active part in seeking additional treatment.”</p> <p><strong>FINANCING</strong></p> <p>There's currently no specific information available on pricing via the facility's website. Wellmore <strong>accepts most types of insurance, including Medicaid</strong>. For those without insurance payment is offered on a sliding scale.</p> <p><small class="footnote"><a target="_blank" href="#footnote-1"><sup>[1]</sup></a> <a href="http://citehealth.com/rehab-centers/connecticut/cities/waterbury-city-in-new-haven-county/morris-house" target="_blank">http://citehealth.com/rehab-centers/connecticut/cities/waterbury-city-in-new-haven-county/morris-house</a></small></p>
