Detox services are not offered on-site.</p> <p><strong>TREATMENT & ASSESSMENT</strong></p> <p>This program is one of the just <a href="https://wwwdasis.samhsa.gov/webt/state_data/CT16.pdf" target="_blank">129 (57.6 percent)</a> in the state that offers <strong>gender-specific treatment to <a href="https://www.recovery.org/pro/articles/reclaiming-the-feminine-in-recovery" target="_blank">women only.</a></strong> Women’s & Children’s Program at Wellmore Behavioral Health provides three core services for its clients: addiction and mental health treatment, case management, and education. <strong>The minimum length of stay is three months.</strong></p> <p>Addiction and mental health treatment is offered mostly in the form of <strong>group and individual therapy</strong>. Clients can also take advantage of case management services, the facility’s second main offering. These include <strong>assessments of need</strong>, access to community resources, transportation to medical appointments, and making appropriate referrals.</p> <p>The third provision relates to education. Adult clients receive <strong>education on parenting and domestic violence</strong>. The facility also offers <strong>on-site childcare</strong>, allowing mothers to fully concentrate on their recovery.</p> <p><strong>STAFF CREDENTIALS</strong></p> <p>According to the facility’s official website, the staff of the Women & Children’s Program are <strong>specially trained in domestic violence and trauma issues</strong>. The organization, as a whole, employs nearly 300 individuals at its 12 sites, and its executive leadership includes a medical doctor, a licensed marriage and family therapist, and a licensed clinical social worker. In the state of Connecticut, <a href="https://www.samhsa.gov/data/sites/default/files/report_3059/ShortReport-3059.pdf" target="_blank">97.2 percent of</a> all substance abuse treatment centers have higher education requirements for staff.</p> <p><strong>ACCOMMODATIONS & AMENITIES</strong></p> <p>There is currently no information provided on the facility's website or otherwise regarding its living arrangements and related offerings. The single Rehabs.com survey respondent to date, a former employee, provided three out of five-star ratings for meals and nutrition, accommodations and amenities, and for the facility's cleanliness.</p> <p><strong>WHAT ALUMNI SAY</strong></p> <p>Although Rehabs.com has yet to receive alumni feedback, secondary sources revealed <strong>mixed feedback</strong>. On Google, five individuals provided an average rating of 3.4 out of five stars.<small class="footnote"><a target="_blank" href="#footnote-2"><sup>[2]</sup></a></small> While three individuals gave three perfect five-star ratings, the other two reviewers gave one-star ratings. "The wait is so long. So so so so so long," alum Gabriela wrote.</p> <p><strong>WHAT STAFF SAY</strong></p> <p>The sole Rehabs.com survey respondent to date, an anonymous employee, gave lukewarm to negative feedback for the facility. The staffer felt "inexperience" was a weakness, and gave staff level of experience three stars and counseling options only two stars. Two-star ratings were also provided for holistic offerings, exercise options, and connectivity/visitor policies. When surveyed on whether or not this individual would recommend the program to others, they remained neutral.</p> <p>Reviews elsewhere online are similarly scarce; though, employees have submitted feedback on Indeed.com, where the organization as a whole (i.e. not just the Women & Children’s Program) received an overall rating of 3.6 stars, based on 21 reviews.<small class="footnote"><a target="_blank" href="#footnote-1"><sup>[1]</sup></a></small> Negative reviewers tended to note a <strong>lack of support from management</strong>, though positive reviewers <strong>appreciated their work environment</strong>. "Wellmore Behavioral Health includes diverse populations of clients and programs for opiate addiction/drug addiction as well as therapy and psychiatry for clients," one five-star reviewer commented upon the facility as a whole.</p> <p><strong>FINANCING</strong></p> <p>There is currently no information provided on the facility's website or otherwise regarding its costs. The single individual polled by Rehabs.com to date awarded four stars for the facility's affordability.</p> <p><small class="footnote"><a target="_blank" href="#footnote-1"><sup>[1]</sup></a> <a href="http://www.indeed.com/cmp/Wellmore-Behavioral-Health/reviews" target="_blank">http://www.indeed.com/cmp/Wellmore-Behavioral-Health/reviews</a> </small></p> <p><small class="footnote"><a target="_blank" href="#footnote-2"><sup>[2]</sup></a> <a href="https://www.google.com/maps/place/Wellmore+Behavioral+Health,+Child+Outpatient+Services/@41.55528,-73.0402539,17z/data=!3m1!4b1!4m7!3m6!1s0x0:0xcd2d90323536a58a!8m2!3d41.55528!4d-73.0380652!9m1!1b1" target="_blank">GoogleReviews</a></small></p>
