About United Community and Family Services
United Community and Family Services operates an outpatient addiction treatment center in Moosup, Connecticut, offering recovery programs for diverse populations across southeastern Connecticut. The facility provides medication-assisted treatment and cognitive behavioral therapy within a comprehensive community health framework.
United Community and Family Services anchors its addiction treatment programs at 120-122 Plainfield Road in Moosup, serving the broader southeastern Connecticut recovery community. This outpatient clinic integrates substance abuse treatment within a comprehensive health services model, offering specialized care for individuals seeking ongoing recovery support beyond initial detox phases. The facility serves Norwich, Griswold, New London, Colchester, and Plainfield through both in-person and telehealth delivery options.
The rehab's outpatient program emphasizes medication-assisted treatment (MAT) and cognitive behavioral therapy as core therapeutic methods. Treatment teams address substance use disorders alongside co-occurring mental health conditions, gambling addiction, and trauma/PTSD through integrated care protocols. The recovery center's dual diagnosis capabilities support clients navigating complex addiction and mental health challenges throughout their recovery journey.
Under the clinical leadership of Chief Medical Officer Dr. Ramindra Walia and Psychiatric Medical Director Dr. Rajesh Parekh, the facility employs MAT protocols and CBT frameworks to address diverse addiction presentations. The treatment approach incorporates telehealth services and mobile crisis intervention, extending recovery support beyond traditional clinic boundaries. This flexibility serves clients who require ongoing outpatient care while maintaining work, family, and community connections.
The residential treatment alternative serves adolescents through seniors, with specialized tracks for veterans, pregnant women, young adults, and court-ordered clients. Multi-language services accommodate diverse southeastern Connecticut communities, while sliding-scale fees and comprehensive insurance acceptance remove financial barriers to recovery. The integration of medical, psychiatric, and addiction services under one roof creates continuity that supports long-term recovery goals rather than episodic crisis intervention.
Outpatient Addiction Treatment Programs
United Community and Family Services delivers outpatient addiction treatment through medication-assisted treatment protocols and cognitive behavioral therapy frameworks. The recovery center's clinical team addresses substance use disorders while simultaneously treating co-occurring mental health conditions, creating integrated care pathways that support comprehensive recovery goals.
MAT services provide medical stabilization for clients transitioning from residential treatment or maintaining long-term recovery through ongoing pharmaceutical support. CBT sessions address behavioral patterns and coping strategies essential for sustained sobriety. The facility's telehealth capabilities ensure treatment continuity for clients across southeastern Connecticut's rural and urban communities.
Dual Diagnosis and Co-Occurring Disorders
The treatment center specializes in dual diagnosis care, addressing addiction alongside mental health conditions, trauma/PTSD, and gambling addiction through coordinated clinical protocols. Dr. Rajesh Parekh leads psychiatric services while integrated medical teams provide comprehensive assessment and ongoing care management for complex cases.
Co-occurring disorder treatment recognizes that sustainable recovery requires addressing underlying mental health challenges that often contribute to substance abuse patterns. The facility's medical directors coordinate psychiatric medication management with addiction treatment protocols, ensuring clients receive appropriate care for both conditions simultaneously rather than treating them as separate issues.
