This isn't a one-and-done kind of place. It’s a full-spectrum real world support system.
A Customized Approach for Adults and Teens
Rushford's adult services go far beyond the basics. From detox and residential care to outpatient programs and medication-assisted treatment, they’ve built an environment that can support you whether you're at rock bottom or already taking steps forward. Their MATCH program combines FDA-approved medIcation with group therapy, tackling cravings and withdrawal while building up long-term skills.
For teens, they’ve developed outpatient programs like the Seven Challenges Program that speak directly to young people. Instead of scare tactics, they focus on open conversations, guiding teens to explore their choices and take over ownership of their path forward. Rather than demanding immediate change, it encourages teens to talk openly about substance use, identify their own reason for usings, and think critically about what they want in life. It also addresses co-occurring issues like mental health struggles and trauma.
Support That Doesn’t Stop After Treatment
Recovery doesn't end when the program does and Rushford knows that. That’s why they provide comprehensive follow-up care at their Meriden facility with individual and family counseling to keep the momentum going. Their support groups, relapse prevention planning, and connections to local resources are all about helping you maintain progress long-term.
