New Choices (in-patient)
New Choices at Wakeman Hall provides substance abuse treatment for 12 to 16-year-old teenagers who are involved with the Connecticut Juvenile Courts. The program is coed. Length of stay is individualized from 28-49 days. Treatment services are provided within a trauma sensitive therapeutic milieu and are under the direction of a physician. Services include therapy groups, rehabilitation groups, therapeutic enrichment, individual therapy, family therapy, and multiple family therapy. Psychiatric evaluation and medication management are provided when necessary. The program also provides exposure to the 12-step recovery principles. A state accredited school is on grounds so youth can continue their academic education while in treatment. Case management services are provided from the point of admission in order to identify follow-up and aftercare in the community. All guardians are expected to create, with us, crisis plans to ensure safety at all times.
