Drug rehab Norwalk levels of care
In Norwalk, outpatient care means regular counseling visits plus 3 intensive outpatient programs (IOP) that meet a few times each week. An IOP often suits people leaving residential treatment, or those who want structure while living at home. For medical detox from alcohol or benzodiazepines, a hospital or detox facility in a nearby city is the safer option, since withdrawal without oversight can be dangerous. All 4 Norwalk centers offer a dual diagnosis approach, treating mental health and substance use together.
