ABOUT SOUTH CENTRAL REHABILITATION CENTER (SCRC)
The South Central Rehabilitation Center (SCRC) is operated by Cornell Scott Hill Health Center, a community health center established by the New Haven community in collaboration with Yale Medical Center. SCRC provides inpatient and ambulatory detox services and outpatient care for individuals struggling with addiction, as well as mental health services and treatment for infectious diseases.
SCRC bills itself as a “pioneering model of integrated care,” meaning that it sets out to provide care for an interconnected set of medical problems: mental illness, substance use disorder, and diseases such as diabetes, cardiovascular disease, HIV, hepatitis C, and neurological illnesses.
TREATMENT & ASSESSMENT
Treatment uses the 12-Steps as well as individual and group therapy in a program built around evidence-based practices. The initial medical detox typically takes three to five days; outpatient programming runs longer, to suit the client’s individual needs. Methadone maintenance programs are available at the SCRC, too.
The center provides very little further information about its addiction treatment programs, however, the single individual polled by Best-rehabs.com to date indicated that the program provided good treatment for co-occurring disorders and opportunities for family involvement.
STAFF CREDENTIALS
The treatment team includes physicians, psychiatrists, social workers, counselors, and nurses, on a team of 75 full- and part-time staff members whose clinical staff are trained to treat both substance use and co-occurring disorders. The single individual polled by Best-rehabs.com to date gave SCRC four out of five stars for its staff’s level of training and experience.
ACCOMMODATIONS & AMENITIES
The center is open 24/7, and the detox facility offers 29 beds. The single individual polled by Best-rehabs.com to date gave SCRC four stars for its cleanliness and exercise/leisure offerings, and two stars for its accommodations and meals/nutrition.
